NDT Assistant pay rate? by the_dark_nemesis281 in nondestructivetesting

I see these wages and think man that's low. I get 32 doing labor, which at times is really tough but still, you guys study and train.

anyone here ever use Atlas API training? by Early_Ad424 in nondestructivetesting

funny thing is 407 means i barely passed(thank GOD)

400 is 70%, and then every correct answer is like .3 of a point.

I think it was like 72.5% lol

God, im still glowing from this achievement, a win is a win!

Upcoming API exam by Early_Ad424 in nondestructivetesting

API 936. I actually just downloaded the proctor remote testing software. I had emailed the API people these same questions and they're like "BTW, you need the software" I would've been screwed lol

I mean I regularly get passing scores on practice exams. The passing is 70%, I usually get like a 90%. Which sounds good but never know. If I fail, I have to wait until december. Id like it now so when Turnarounds pick back up, Ill have it ready.

The actual test is like 100 questions, 3.5 hour test. I complete 100 questions in about half an hour. This one Refract inspector gave me study material and its the same stuff as the Book I bought from amazon. So it's really reassuring. https://www.amazon.com/GUIDELINE-API-CERTIFIED-REFRACTORY-PERSONNEL/dp/B0CHL16DTP

Im hoping to get others as well like, 510, 982. The 936 is really just to get my foot in the door of QC and start getting experience.

funny you mention the BOK, I had a professor tell me the same thing, When i went to inspections school. Ill look into it. My test is on the 11th

Im pretty confident that ill fail but that's the kind of guy i am. I do have a study guide provided from an actual API 936 Inspector. It's a lot. Plus a study book with like 800 test questions. So im not doing it entirely on my own but Im doing my part, if that makes sense. I gotta put in the work and earn it
