CWI Readiness Check

Are you ready for your CWI exam?

A 15-question diagnostic across 5 core CWI Body-of-Knowledge topic areas — Welding Symbols, WPS/PQR, NDT, Weld Discontinuities, Metallurgy. Sourced from a 198-question bank verified against AWS A2.4:2020 and D1.1:2025. Takes about 4 minutes — get a per-topic weakness report on screen and emailed to you.

How the readiness check works

This diagnostic samples the same kinds of decisions inspectors make while studying: reading symbol placement, recognizing WPS and PQR language, sorting NDT methods, identifying discontinuity vocabulary, and checking basic metallurgy concepts. It is intentionally short, so the result should be treated as a study signal rather than a pass/fail prediction.

Use the topic breakdown to decide what to review next. A weak symbol score should send you back to the weld-symbol chart and drawing examples. A weak procedure score usually means more time with WPS, PQR, and qualification-range questions. A weak discontinuity or NDT score points toward inspection terminology, method selection, and acceptance-language practice before attempting the longer practice test.
