Please note that only API 510 is an inspection code (mandatory), while the rest of API documents are recommended practices (good engineering practice).
Closed book questions mostly come from API 510 code and RPs because this information is supposed to be used by inspectors on daily basis.
For open book questions that need referring to tables, graphs and formulas, you shall have access to both the API RPs and API 510 code besides ASME codes.
