Very good point Joe. CWI, API 570, 510, and most other similar certs, you've got to be able to find the answer on your own, unless it's a particularly obtuse portion of the relevant code. That part doesn't fall under that heading.
apperently there are a few inspectors that shouldnt be then,for the 2 years ive seen production welding on A514,and at least 3 inspectors checking the welds,not 1 have waited even 24 hours,i checked today and specs are to conform to d1.1,and double checked the plate called for!on another note,got my d1.1 and code clinic less than a week ago,1st day i took sample questions and got 27 right in 2 hours,running out of time and having wrong answer on 6 questions,so yes i need to study-study-study,and in no way am i looking to cheat! i do find without asking,i can look thru the forum and get questions for me to look up!

Good! now you need to do 4 things. First - Look up the correct answer to the ones you got wrong. Look at all the referenced paragraphs found when you are looking up the answers. Look up the key words in the index, until you get back to the answer to your question. Then go to the front of the Code Book to the Table of Contents.
Second - Do the same thing for the questions you got right.
Third - If your question takes you to a table or figure, either directly or through reference, you must learn how to use these tables or figures.
Fourth - look at and study the paragraphs before and after the paragraph you find your answer in. Follow all the references, and the Commentary just as in 1 above.
I feel your pain about other incompetent welding inspectors. This is one of the reasons I get so short tempered when future CWIs try to get test question help on the Forum. "Last week, ah caint een speel welding inspoctor, Now I are one!
