First and foremost, I prepared for PAUT and TOFD, unfortunately there is no Questions on it

Second important thing, there are many question on Composites, mostly on scanning technique for
Composites
As usual many question of Immersion testing including Ecos identification on the screen
I am from oil and gas field , doing UT for Welding all the Time, but in Exam Paper there was not many
question on UT for welding whereas Most of the questions are from Forging( around 7to 8)
In that only on the forging burst there was at least 5 questions including how the defect look like in UT
Screen, How do you scan for Forging Burst(circumferential or axial or something Like That )
There are few questions on casting defects as well such as porosity
After came back from exam , I heighted the question and problems which I encountered in the exam
There were almost 25 questions on calculations and there is problem on each and every basic formula
Including tandem techniques, offset for immersion testing of pipes,
Like X=(T-D)tan
There are some general questions which are based on commonsense
As usual there are many question on relationship between variables such as frequency, probe dia ,
pulse length Etc.
The procedure is AWS D1.1 , 2 tables but the scanning severity is something new
If you see addendum title, in your procedure, please look at it carefully, in my case , they have given
some calibration procedure in the procedure and it was changes in the addendum, the same changes
were asked in the exam
The procedure is rather lengthy, almost 15 pages, I dint read it fully and I dont recommend it even,
unless if you have plenty of time
There are less than 10 questions on the procedure, remaining are direct referring to some fig or table
in the procedure
Lastly there were some basic formula given in the reference book, but I sincerely recommend all of
you to memories formula
I have received most of the questions from angle beam testing, immersion technique, welding,
castings, forgings (mainly on defect identification), pulse rate (PPS), resonance testing etc. There
were few questions (around 5 to 6 questions) from instruments. I did not have many questions from
composites.
Most of the questions were on identifying the welding a defects based on metal path distance. Time
management is very important and it is recommended to practice more problems. Because while
practicing the numerical problems, you will automatically learn the concepts. UT is more about
concepts and questions are framed to roam around the concepts only.
I am from Aerospace industry and we don't very frequently use UT for welding. But I have received
decent number of questions from welding. I have got around 8 questions from procedures (with AWS
D1.1 table), so it is also advisable to be very familiar with AWS D1.1 for UT testing.
