Familiarize yourself with the official Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite documentation
for the version used in the exam (BPM Suite 6.3). The exam environment includes
a snapshot of the official BPM Suite 6.3 docs, so being familiar with them will
significantly help if you need to look up anything during the exam. In addition
to the official documentation for the product version being tested, there may
also be sample files or additional documentation included with the product
itself. We will not strip out anything that is normally included, but you will
not be able to use the Internet to search for or use other documentation. It's a
good idea to keep these restrictions in mind as you study. Make sure you're
familiar with, and only rely on, the official product documentation for the
version specified. Due to technical limitations in the exam environment, we
strongly recommend that you use the +HTML-SINGLE+ version of the docs as that is
the version that is easiest to use and view during the exam.
