Are the questions aligned with the ASQ CQT Body of Knowledge?

Yes. Each question is written around topics included in the published CQT 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.

What is Timed Simulation Mode?

Timed Simulation Mode is designed to recreate the pressure and pacing of the CQT exam. You answer the questions within a fixed time limit and receive your score and explanations only after completing the test.

How is it different from Review Mode?

Review Mode shows the answer and explanation immediately after each question. Timed Simulation Mode hides all feedback until the end so you can test your knowledge without hints or interruptions.

Are these actual ASQ exam questions?

No. All questions are independently developed by Quality Gurus Inc. They are written to reflect CQT-style reasoning but are not copied from the official exam.

Can I move between questions during Timed Simulation Mode?

Yes. You can move forward and backward between questions, change your answers, and review the test before submitting it.

Can I mark questions for later review?

Yes. You can flag questions you are unsure about and return to them later, just as you can in the computer-based ASQ exam.

How does Timed Simulation Mode reflect the real exam experience?

The simulation combines a running timer with question navigation, answer changes, and a review flag. This helps you practise pacing, skip time-consuming questions, and return to them after completing the easier ones.

Q1.A gasket plant closes its quarter with prevention cost $\$18{,}000$ , appraisal cost $\$42{,}000$ , internal failure cost $\$96{,}000$ , and external failure cost $\$54{,}000$ . Sales for the quarter were $\$3{,}000{,}000$ .

What is the cost of poor quality for the quarter, expressed as a percent of sales?
- A.3.2%
- B.5.0%✓ Correct answer
- C.7.0%
- D.1.8%
Explanation
Cost of poor quality counts only the money lost because something went wrong, which is the two failure categories. Prevention and appraisal are spent on purpose, so they stay out of it. First find the cost of poor quality:

$COPQ = \text{internal failure} + \text{external failure}$

$COPQ = \$96{,}000 + \$54{,}000 = \$150{,}000$

Then express it against sales:

$\text{Percent of sales} = \frac{COPQ}{\text{sales}} \times 100 = \frac{150{,}000}{3{,}000{,}000} \times 100 = 5.0\%$

$7.0\%$ is the total cost of quality, all four categories, which is a larger and different measure. $3.2\%$ uses internal failure alone and $1.8\%$ uses external failure alone.

Q2.An injection molding technician records mold coolant temperature in degrees Celsius against the measured shrinkage of the molded part in percent, for five settings.

$\begin{array}{c|c} \hline \textbf{Coolant temperature} & \textbf{Shrinkage} \\ \hline 12 & 0.62 \\ 16 & 0.55 \\ 20 & 0.49 \\ 24 & 0.44 \\ 28 & 0.36 \\ \hline \end{array}$

When these pairs are plotted on a scatter diagram, how is the relationship best described?
- A.Strong negative correlation✓ Correct answer
- B.Weak negative correlation
- C.Strong positive correlation
- D.No correlation
Explanation
Shrinkage falls at every single step as the coolant temperature rises, and the size of each fall is similar. The points would sit close to a straight line sloping downward, which is strong negative correlation.

Weak negative correlation is the primary foil, and it is chosen by candidates who see the downward direction but do not check how tightly the points follow it. A weak relationship shows a general downward tendency with visible scatter and at least one reversal. Here no reversal occurs. Strong positive would need shrinkage to rise with temperature, and no correlation would need the points to show no direction at all.
