Basic Facts

What you should expect during Exam Day?

API Exam Day at the prometric test center

Where to start?

There are four definite leads to help you understand what type of questions to expect during examination. These are:

• API 577 and its cross references (for example, ASME V & ASME IX),

• Body of Knowledge or what you are expected to know

• Exam Score Report (showing the areas where you are scored against and the number of questions from each topic).

• Feed back from other candidates appeared for the exam

Regardless of which study plan you may wish to take or which training course you opt for; these leads shall help you focus your efforts and act as a pulse check.

You can start the self-study by collecting the reference material; highlighting the relevant sections and start cracking.

Obviously, you would save some money but need considerable time plus missing on what we can offer to make your life easy.

Your approach and study plan are also very important.

API exam questions do not normally use the statements directly from codes and recommended practices.

If you merely memorize the facts and figures without understanding the concept, there is still a high chance of getting the question wrong, because API exam questions are often rephrased.

You can choose our training package that has the advantage of explaining core principles and concepts in an easy-to-understand format with ample pictures; complemented with exam tips, flash cards, and 8 sets of quiz, practice and mock exam questions.

Our exam questions are very much in line with real API examination questions and aimed at sharing the concepts, how to apply these concepts, how to avoid the loopholes and how to handle the trick questions.

Please note that API recommended practices and ASME codes are not intended for training purpose and therefore, understanding them may be difficult at times.

We shall explain all these topics in sufficient detail so the course would benefit all candidates with any level of knowledge and expertise.

Our training approach helps you solve any relevant questions within any context and scenario, since you would be capturing the concept, principle and the theory rather than memorizing some numbers or facts without understanding the underlying reason or their applications.

We do not claim that our e-learning courses are the only option to pass the exam, nor we claim that our courses would substitute studying API 577 and ASME codes and recommended practices.

However, we do claim being one of the best API training providers because we shall:

• Explain the terms and definitions in an easy-to-understand format.

• Provide you with lots of pictures, presentations, videos and examples so no matter what your level of knowledge on each topic is, you shall have the complete information and knowledge.

• Explain API 577 body of knowledge in an easy to understand and comprehensive way and also highlight the areas where potential questions may come (flash cards).

• Provide you with the concept, application and limitation of NDE methods explaining applicable sections of ASME V.

• Explain ASME IX applicable clauses and tables (WPS, PQR, WPQ)

• Provide you with sets of mock exams in line with API Exam questions

• Support you through a chat line where you can ask any questions from our instructors or need further clarity in a specific topic.
