Regarding the 2023 pressure vessel manufacturing recertification exam
Thread Content
The company needs to renew its pressure vessel manufacturing licenses (D, A5) in October this year, and the relevant designers and reviewers are required to take exams. It is said that this year the exams will consist of randomly selected questions from a question bank. I was wondering if anyone has access to a reliable question bank? The person in charge of the unit contacted the personnel responsible for the revalidation review and said that there is no question bank, and they don’t know how to prepare at the moment. I’m asking everyone for help.
The approvers take an online exam; you can search online for some of the leaked test questions, which are available on this forum. As long as one is familiar with the regulations, there’s no problem; it’s possible to look things up in books. It doesn’t matter as long as the reviewers do their job. There is no computer-based exam for design and verification; the reviewers bring their own test questions.
If the design and verification are still in the form of test papers, discussions and consultations should be possible just as before. Perhaps the person in charge here didn’t understand the situation and said that everything had to be done through an online exam, which caused everyone a lot of panic. Thank you.
I also want a verification document to look at; I was confused during the important exam and didn’t know how to organize my thoughts. I’ve never worked in this field before, so I’m worried I might make mistakes :(
