API 653 Recertification
API 653 Recertification
(OP)
I will be recertifying for 653 and the effectivity sheet for this cert says to use the Tenth edition of API 650 Add. 1 to 4. I was told by the API rep. that it is correct and to use that as study material. I have the Eleventh edition and she said I would have to buy the Tenth edition to take the quiz, is this correct? Sorry, it just doesnt make sense.





RE: API 653 Recertification
Of course, i received the newest edition of the books, however the body of knowledge showed an older addendum that was required.
I was told that the questions used would have only one correct answer that would be correct to both editions/addendums. I was told that they would not have any questions which would have a right answer according to the old addendum and a right answer according to the new addendum. The answers would apply to both editions or addendums. if not, they wouldnt use the question.
I,personally, didnt run into ANY problems with the two different addendums. if you run into a problem, challenge the question and you should be credited.

which has some good info on changes in new edition.
It might help if you asked an instructor of the course about policy if there is discrepancy in an answer between editions, not only the person at the organization signing you up for the class...
