Answer:
Hi,
I saw many questions regarding certification in SAP APO. I just finished with the certification of C_SCM exam..
the total questions were - 60 for 2 hrs
just overview based question on CIF integration and also APO master data settings- 14
around Demand Plannging Questions- 24
around Supply Network Based question 22
I felt most of the questions were tricky so just be confident in your answer...
My advice is to prepare the SAP Documents given as pdfs and then you should maticulously catch the logical reference of main points in the pdfs, apart from practicing the exercises. If you have real time expereince in SAP APO it will give you more benefit.
sample question -
a) What are the configuration steps involved in SAP APO CIF configuration on APO side?
b) What all types of orders can be sent through Integraiton model to APO?
The questions were of Multiple choice and also multiple answers.....
Question paper was not tough, it was just logical ,,, SO best of luck Guys
If you still have any doubts or you want any study material.. mail me at erpsol@gmail.com
Hope this helps you even a little
