Recommended books to take to SCWI exam

Date 05-15-2009 01:36

To those who have taken SCWI... I am sitting for SCWI this Saturday. I know this is probably late to be asking many questions, but I have a couple. Paperwork says I can take any reference material I want. It has a list of recommended study material. Been studying that. Plan on taking QC-1:2007, B5.1:2003, WI:2000, D10.4:86, B1.11:2000, B2.1:2000 (1 generation old), B4.0:2007 and SNT-TC-1a. I am assuming the one generation older document will not seriously cripple me. I am assuming that even though it is open book, there is not enough time to look up much on fundamental exam. The Part B looks like it must come heavily, if not exclusively from B4.0 and B2.1. Is this correct? Besides a calculator, anything else I should take???

Any last minute advice?

thqci,
1.) Good luck on your SCWI exam.
2.) Previous thread on the exam: http://www.aws.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=29036;hl=;sid=297d4aa128ca6e50c7d00797187abbcd
3.) I hope the exam has been revised since I took it in 1998, many mistakes on the actual test.
4.) Proctors were not much help with exam site problems.
5.) You only need a 72% now (previously 75% was required to pass).

Good Luck again and post your results.

You need ISO 9000 series, and you need to really review the Stainless Steel documents It is very heavy on Stainless Steel.
