If ASE certs are anything like the computer certs I have to take there are no Prereqs you just show up with money and pay for the test. Go to Barnes and Nobles or look on Amazon.com for books on the subject I have to take my CCNA for school and I just picked up CCNA in 30 days. Even though I'm in my CISCO class I figured it would give me more of an edge.

there are no rereqs required for ASE tests. just make sure you rear all the questions well because some are worded just a little different and it throws off the whole answer. its usually every 6 months. you can register online at www.ase.com i think? i was too lazy to search yahoo for the link.
make sure you get the study books too. they help out a lot.

I haven't taken any of the body shop tests but I have taken all the auto tests. They are not very hard, not even the advanced level tests, the main thing is that the questions are worded in a way to make sure you are paying attention. You need a good grasp of the material but just be sure that you read the question completely and all the possible answers completely and eliminate the 2 that don't make any sense and then decide which one of the 2 left makes the most sense. That's how ASE tests are.

A good study guide is very helpful, I used Mitchell's, www.Mitchell1.com
They have practice tests in there and answers, so you can actually get a decent idea of how well you'll do.

Take your time, I don't know how many you're planning on taking but don't do more than 4 in a day, and the first time out I would do only 2 max! Recheck it when you're done. You've got 4 hours to take them.

Good luck
Mark
