Does anybody know where I could find sample questions of what would be on the CWI Exam for D1.1? I would like to have some idea of what to expect instead of going into a test blind. Also if anyone has any suggestions on the best way/way's to prepare for the D1.1 test, please let me know.

Thanks,
David

David-

I found that the Certification Manual for Welding Inspectors (CM:2000) was extremely helpful in my studying for the exam. It covers a broad range of topics and material that is directly related to D1.1 and has questions at the end of each chapter that are similar to those given for the closed book section of the CWI exam.

The WIT book is similar to the CM:2000 and is also a good book to study. There is a workbook that goes along with it with similar questions as those on the test. I chose the CM:2000 over the WIT because the WIT book is handed out at the seminar, and I didn't want two copies of the same book.

Also, AWS sells a book (CCRM:2006) titled Code Clinic, it's a study guide for D1.1 2006. It's directly related to the code book. I found it helpful in the sense that it has questions related directly towards D1.1 similar to the questions on the exam. I wish I had this prior to attending the seminar, because it would have given me a better understanding of what the test questions were like.

Would there happen to be a 2008 version of that Code Clinic book, or does the code not change much from 2006 to 2008? Also thank you for both of those suggestions.

Chances are there will be a 2008 version out to accommodate D1.1 2008, but I can't say for sure. You could check with the book store on the AWS website. IMO, I think it would still be beneficial and relavent even though it is a 2006.

I just took the exam in August, and the exams from what the instructor told me will be on the 2006 version for the rest of this year.
