CWI Test on the 3rd. of Oct. :-( :-(
(OP)
Wednesday the 23rd., I start my CWI prep. course. I have dodged this for the past 9 years. 9 years ago I tested and received a CAWI and was vary discouraged, however I had very little training and was only 23 years old! It did not take me long to realize I was in over my head. Today, I have been in welding inspection for the pas 9 years and I am still very nervous!! VERY NERVOUS! The math scars the hell out of me. I work for a Nuclear based company and the only people that perform some of the CWI type questions that I have seen leading up to the class are Nuclear Engineers!! My question is what can I do extra to ensure that I will make the math portion? I know very little about algebra, the area of a circle, or a square bar for that mater. I am also told that part "B" is way off the charts as well. I don't have much time to order new books at this point so I am looking for publications on the net. Can anyone give me any tips?, if I could find a few sample questions that would be a big help. Some of my friends say "you will pass no prob." But others warn me of hidden curve ahead.

If not, purchase the books listed on the AWS website and start studying. You don't have much time.

Good luck. It won't be as bad as you think!

It is necessary to calculate the area of a circle and a rectangle. You need to calculate the ultimate tensile strength given the dimensions of the test piece and the maximum load. You do need to calculate elongation and reduction in area. There may even be a reason to convert from US customary to SI or vice versa, but that is about the extent of the need for mathematics.

Did you have the prep course when you tested 9 years ago?

I agree that the CWI needs to know much more than what is on the examination.
