Most people who fail this exam do not fail on theory. They fail because they walked in having read about a topic instead of having worked forty questions on it.
251 original multiple-choice questions written in the style of the API 653 examination, every one with a worked solution that shows the arithmetic line by line or names the governing clause. Questions are grouped by the document they come from, so the code you are weakest on shows up as a cluster of misses. Two mock exams are built only from questions held back from the topic sets, so a mock score is a real reading and not a memory check.
API 653, Calculations, RP 571, API 650, ASME V, RP 575, RP 577, RP 651, RP 652 and ASME IX.
