The basic CSWP does not cover surfacing but rather is one of the
required optional modules to take along with the essentials (need one
other). I believe the three basic options are Advanced Modeling
(surfacing), advanced assemblies, and advanced drawings (I think-
don't quote me on this)

Following is an outline of things you need to know:

Modeling:
Creating and editing models
Troubleshooting sketch and model issues
Sketch properties
Dimension properties
Toolbars and their functions
Reference geometry - surfaces, curves, helix, etc.
Configurations
Creating and editing assemblies
- time dependent features
- mates, mate groups, and their properties
- bottom up assembly modeling vs. top down assembly modeling
- assembly configurations and their use
- bill of materials and custom properties
Drawing and Detailing
Creating a drawing
Creating and working with drawing views
Section and detail views
Drawing properties
Drawing templates - custom and standard
Linking custom properties to notes and template regions
Creating parametric notes
Design Intent
Capturing design intent
Design tables
Link values
Equations
In-context relations
File management
"Save as" vs. "Save as copy"
Exporting to different file formats (IGES, STEP, DXF, etc.)
Importing files from other systems
External references
Custom properties
Exploring SolidWorks Tools
Feature Palette
Setting up external references
Creating form tools, palette parts and palette features
Sketch tools
Understanding the measure tool: Normal vs. Projected values
Mass properties options
Understand Check entity tool
Working with Equations
Working with Macros

I just passed the test back in June, and I did take a VAR prep. class
which I felt was very helpful, but definately not necessary. It did
give me very good idea of what would be on the test, and I passed.

As long as you read what is expected of the model, and capture the
design intent, you should have no problem passing the test. If you
know the essentials of modeling and assembly, with some advanced
features, you should be OK. The written test has some off the wall
questions, but some very simple ones as well. To prepare for this
part, I went through the help files one day. If there was something
there that I did not recognize, I reviewed it. This really helped and
actually brought up some functions that I had forgot about or did not
know existed. Reviewing these files probably helped me get 20 extra
questions right. Go through the CSWP sample exam on the SW website,
all of the models are similar to what is shown.

Good Luck.

Sorry you failed!

The question said name three, you stated four, which shows your lack of
awareness, pmsl!! lol
Only kidding :-P

Sorry I just had too!
:-)

There is at least one more. What is it?
