I took the book (I can't remember which one) and made my own flash cards/study guides. I'm thinking about the thin book that has the three dimensional drawings with the little circles near each defect identifying them. It's the book that shows a dozen different types of cracks on the drawings, and detailed definitions. It’s green and a very good book.
I photo copied the drawings and used white out to cover the answers. I read the book and answered as many as I could.
I borrowed calibrators, micrometers, and weld gauges worked on using them. I studied converting measurements SI into metric and vice versa.
Also, I thought I seen somewhere where you could buy the plastic replicas. I didn't buy them, but keep defective photos and samples when I can.
Good Luck,
Keith

A couple of good books to look at would be, AWS B1.10 (Guide for the Nondestructive Examination of Welds) and also AWS B1.11 ( Guide for the Visual Inspection of Welds). Both have good photos and illustrations of various dicontinuities and defects, and also some good explanations.
