The question asked most often about the
INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and
the Management Sciences) Certified Analytics
Professional (CAP®) program is: “How do I prepare
for the exam?” To help people prepare and allay
their fears of an unknown exam, the CAP program
volunteers and staff have written and published
a Candidate Handbook with sample questions, a
CAP Study Guide that outlines topics for each domain and an introductory webinar. All are posted
on the INFORMS website at www.informs.org/
certification; the introductory webinar is also posted on BrightTALK at https://www.brighttalk.com/
webcast/11147/109485.
The CAP Board recognizes that preparation is individualized; some people have had more or different
education, others have had more or different experiences. Others like to have many, many foundational
texts that they can pore over to see if they still recall
the information from their educational program. One
blanket preparation guide will not suffice for all.
