A new method was taught to four departments. Sixty days later: \begin{array}{l|c|c|c} \textbf{Dept} & \textbf{Trained} & \textbf{Still using it} & \textbf{Supervisor trained} \\ \hline \text{A} & 24 & 21 & \text{yes} \\ \text{B} & 30 & 8 & \text{no} \\ \text{C} & 18 & 15 & \text{yes} \\ \text{D} & 26 & 7 & \text{no} \end{array} What does this pattern most strongly suggest?

Transfer depends on whether the supervisor was trained

Larger departments transfer new methods less successfully

The course content does not suit departments B and D

Sixty days is too short an interval to judge transfer

What will this free 25-question quiz tell me?

It will give you a quick indication of how comfortable you are with CMQ/OE-style concepts, calculations and workplace scenarios. More importantly, the explanations will help you identify the topics and question types that need further study.

Are the questions aligned with the ASQ CMQ/OE Body of Knowledge?

Yes. Each question is written around topics included in the published CMQ/OE Body of Knowledge and is tagged to the relevant BoK area. These are original practice questions and are not copied from the actual ASQ exam.

In Review Mode, you receive the correct answer and explanation immediately after answering each question. It is designed for learning, not just scoring, so you can correct misunderstandings before moving to the next question.

Does the quiz include calculations?

Yes. The free set includes a balanced mix of conceptual questions, applied scenarios and short calculations. The goal is to help you experience several common CMQ/OE question styles.

Is my score on this quiz enough to determine whether I am ready?

No single 25-question quiz can confirm full exam readiness. Use it as an initial diagnostic, then assess yourself across larger question sets covering the complete Body of Knowledge.

What is included in the full CMQ/OE practice-question package?

The complete package provides additional CMQ/OE-style practice sets with broader Body of Knowledge coverage, detailed explanations and more opportunities to work on calculations, scenarios and commonly confused concepts.

Does purchasing the practice tests include the ASQ examination?

No. These are independent exam-preparation materials. Registration, eligibility review and the official certification examination are handled separately by ASQ.

2 questions from this set, shown in full with the correct answer and the reasoning behind it. Read them as a study resource.

Q1.Four processes are reported as follows:

$\begin{array}{l|c|c} \textbf{Process} & C_p & C_{pk} \\ \hline \text{W} & 1.80 & 1.75 \\ \text{X} & 1.10 & 1.05 \\ \text{Y} & 2.00 & 0.90 \\ \text{Z} & 1.40 & 1.38 \end{array}$

Which process would benefit most from centering rather than from reducing variation?
- A.W
- B.X
- C.Y✓ Correct answer
- D.Z
Explanation
The gap between $C_p$ and $C_{pk}$ measures how far off center a process sits, and process Y's gap of 1.10 dwarfs the others. Its spread would comfortably fit the tolerance twice over, so every unit of improvement available to it comes from moving the mean.

Q2.A new method was taught to four departments. Sixty days later:

$\begin{array}{l|c|c|c} \textbf{Dept} & \textbf{Trained} & \textbf{Still using it} & \textbf{Supervisor trained} \\ \hline \text{A} & 24 & 21 & \text{yes} \\ \text{B} & 30 & 8 & \text{no} \\ \text{C} & 18 & 15 & \text{yes} \\ \text{D} & 26 & 7 & \text{no} \end{array}$

What does this pattern most strongly suggest?
- A.Transfer depends on whether the supervisor was trained✓ Correct answer
- B.Larger departments transfer new methods less successfully
- C.The course content does not suit departments B and D
- D.Sixty days is too short an interval to judge transfer
Explanation
The two departments whose supervisors were trained retain 88 and 83 percent, and the two whose supervisors were not retain 27 percent. Size is the alternative reading and does not hold, since department C at 18 and department A at 24 behave alike while B at 30 and D at 26 also behave alike.
