Official SAP Learning Journey → ■ 2026 EXAM FORMAT 06 / 33 www.erpprep.com — WHAT CHANGED The New SAP Certification Exam Format In 2026 SAP exams became performance-based. Depending on the exam, SAP uses a System-Based Assessment or a Scenario-Based Assessment. SyBA System-Based Assessment Tests real system tasks: configuration, business-process flow, data behaviour, dependencies and implementation logic in a guided environment. SBA Scenario-Based Assessment Tests consultant judgment: you read a realistic business situation, analyse the requirement and choose the most appropriate action — with reasoning. E_S4CON USES THIS E_S4CON is a Scenario-Based Assessment (SBA): SAP places you in a realistic situation and asks you to make the decision a working consultant would — then scores the judgment, not the recall. Read: What format are the modern SAP exams? · SyBA vs SBA explained ■ WHAT'S INSIDE 07 / 33 www.erpprep.com — INSIDE YOUR E_S4CON PREP Four Ways You Practice 01 Micro Skill Drills 120+ targeted questions that lock in one competency at a time — configuration rules, process flow, data behaviour. 02 Unified Scenario Simulations 24 enterprise-style scenarios with connected questions — one business situation, real decision points, tiered Foundation → Core → Advanced. 03 Consultant Thinking Path The reasoning behind every answer: business requirement → system context → configuration impact → best solution. Not just which option was right — why the others were wrong. 04 Tiered Validation Stuck? A conceptual hint first, then a diagnostic insight, and only then the technical reference — so you work it out instead of reading the answer. ■ MICRO SKILL DRILLS 08 / 33 www.erpprep.com — PRACTICE METHOD 1 OF 4 Micro Skill Drill Practice Short, targeted question sets on one S/4HANA Conversion and System Upgrade competency at a time, so you can hammer a single weak domain before moving to full scenarios. THIS HELPS YOU ● Core SAP concepts and terminology ● Configuration rules and their effects ● Process dependencies and sequence ● Data flow and validation logic ● Reading a business requirement precisely 120+ drills across all 6 E_S4CON skill areas. Each drill is tagged to a skill, so every attempt feeds your readiness signal for that exact area. Try it free: E_S4CON sample questions ■ UNIFIED SCENARIOS 09 / 33 www.erpprep.com — PRACTICE METHOD 2 OF 4 Unified Scenario Simulations 24 connected business cases in the style of the real Scenario-Based Assessment: one company, one situation, a chain of decisions. THIS HELPS YOU ● Review a business situation and its constraints ● Analyse configuration dependencies ● Understand system behaviour and side-effects ● Identify process gaps or incorrect settings ● Select the most appropriate implementation action Scenarios are tiered Foundation → Core → Advanced, so you build up from single decisions to full cutover-style judgment calls — exactly what the exam rewards. Try it free: E_S4CON sample questions ■ CONSULTANT THINKING PATH 10 / 33 www.erpprep.com — PRACTICE METHOD 3 OF 4 The Consultant Thinking Path ERPPrep does not only give you the answer. After every question you get the reasoning a working consultant would use to reach it — and to rule out the alternatives. THIS HELPS YOU ● 01 Business requirement — what is actually being asked ● 02 System context — where the behaviour originates ● 03 Configuration impact — what each option really changes ● 04 Best solution — and why the others fail ● The consequence of each incorrect option This is the difference between knowing an answer and being able to defend it. Every drill and scenario in this guide includes its Consultant Thinking Path. Try it free: E_S4CON sample questions ■ TIERED VALIDATION 11 / 33 www.erpprep.com — PRACTICE METHOD 4 OF 4 Tiered Validation Guidance Stuck on a question? You are not handed the answer. Guidance arrives in three tiers, each one more specific than the last. THIS HELPS YOU ● Tier 1 — Conceptual hint: the principle to think about ● Tier 2 — Diagnostic insight: where to look and what to compare ● Tier 3 — Technical reference: the exact SAP behaviour ● Learn from mistakes instead of guessing ● Build accuracy and confidence before the real exam You work the problem out yourself. That's what makes the knowledge stick — and what makes the real exam feel familiar rather than new. Try it free: E_S4CON sample questions ■ READINESS SIGNAL 12 / 33 www.erpprep.com — KNOW WHERE YOU STAND Skill-by-Skill Readiness Every attempt updates your readiness signal across the real E_S4CON skill areas — so you walk in knowing which topics are locked in, and which need one more pass. ● Green — rehearsed and locked in ● Amber — one more pass needed ● Red — go back to the drills ● Result history keeps the whole trend, attempt by attempt Readiness overview ON TRACK EXAM READINESS 70% ACCURACY 74% COVERAGE 61% SAP S/4HANA System Conversion Process 82% SAP System Upgrade 68% Data Migration 74% Custom Code Analysis 55% System Monitoring 61% Cloud Migration 47% An example practice signal — not a prediction of your exam result. ■ SCENARIO ROLEPLAY 13 / 33 www.erpprep.com — PRACTICE BEING QUESTIONED AI Scenario Roleplay for E_S4CON E_S4CON is a Scenario-Based Assessment — the exam doesn't just ask what you know, it questions your judgment. So there's Scenario Roleplay: an AI character plays a client stakeholder and puts you in the conversation. ● You make a recommendation — the stakeholder pushes back ● Why did you rule out the alternative? What about the dependency you skipped? ● Every objective is scored on what you actually said, in your own words ● Unlimited attempts on every scenario ● The difference between having read the answer and being able to hold the room HOW A ROLEPLAY RUNS STAKEHOLDER We're going live in three weeks. Why not make the fix directly in production? YOU Because a direct edit creates realm drift. I'd apply it in the test site, package it, then migrate. STAKEHOLDER And if the production-availability check fails? YOU Then it's caught before go-live — which is the point of the check.

The basis lead is unsure which single tool actually carries out the technical steps of the conversion, from the software update through the database migration and the data conversion, and wants to name it before planning the runbook. Which tool performs the technical steps of a system conversion end to end? A The Software Update Manager, which drives the software update, database migration, and data conversion in one procedure. B The Maintenance Planner alone, which schedules the change but does not run the conversion. C A manual sequence of transport imports carried out by hand for each step. D The database vendor's own migration utility used independently of any SAP tool. ■ MICRO SKILL DRILLS 17 / 33 www.erpprep.com ANSWER Q1 → A ✓ The Software Update Manager, which drives the software update, database migration, and data conversion in one procedure.

The team must set this up so both roles point to one unified record before the finance conversion. What is the correct target model for customer and vendor records in the new product? A A customer record only, with vendor data discarded entirely. B A free-text note replacing the structured customer and vendor data. C A single business partner record that carries both the customer and the vendor roles. D Two permanently separate records kept exactly as before with no unification, an approach the team assumed would be acceptable here. ■ MICRO SKILL DRILLS 19 / 33 www.erpprep.com ANSWER Q2 → C A A customer record only, with vendor data discarded entirely. B A free-text note replacing the structured customer and vendor data. ✓ A single business partner record that carries both the customer and the vendor roles. D Two permanently separate records kept exactly as before with no unification, an approach the team assumed would be acceptable here. 01 Business requirement 02 System context 03 Configuration impact 04 Best solution CONSULTANT THINKING PATH 💡 The new product uses the business partner as the leading object, with a single record carrying both customer and vendor roles, which is the required target model. ■ MICRO SKILL DRILLS 20 / 33 www.erpprep.com E_S4CON Q3 Alderton Robotics wants an early, non-disruptive report showing how much effort its conversion will involve and which items it must address, produced from its production system without changing it. The team asks which analysis gives this overview before any conversion work starts. Which analysis provides an early overview of conversion effort and required items? A A review of unrelated systems that are not being converted. B The readiness check, which analyzes the system and reports the items and effort the conversion will involve. C The final downtime cutover, which reveals effort only once the outage begins, leaving the current setup essentially untouched. D A user survey asking staff how hard they think the conversion will be.
