Hi Lawrence!
That has been the experience with all of my students also - including unlimited thickness test plates...
Most of the welds looked half-way decent... In other words, decent enough to pass visual but, could'nt pass bends or even come close!!!
When the students retook their tests afterwards, all of them passed with no indications!!! Go figure!!! All of these tests were independently evaluated.
Respectfully,
