Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert Preparation Materials (SOLIDWORKS 2018)

This book is a very good reference for the CSWE. The author very thoroughly goes through all the problems with detailed explanations. My only problem with this book is that it is not very cheap for what you're getting. At $80, that's about half of what the actual test cost! It almost works out to a dollar per page! One other issue I ran into was that the example files you can download were all from Solidworks 2018, and as such, did not work with SW 2017. Luckily enough, the files for the 2017 version of the book were identical. I almost wish I would have just bought the 2017 version of the book! Lol!

I passed.

The examples matched up well with the real exam.

Content is very good. But I suspect this to be a duplicated copy of an original book. Pages are in black and white colours. But you can gain a good knowledge from this book.

For the price I would have expected this to be well written and error-free. It has clearly been regurgitated from previous versions of SW and nobody has bothered to check whether it works with 2018. Full of errors, and not clearly written.
