JJAPI 572 Study GuidePractice QuestionsThis study aid will help you learn the content of API 572, Inspection of Pressure Vessels.There will be about 10 questions from API 572 on the API 510 exam. We do NOT spendtime in class on this publication. So you become familiar with this content in your personalstudy sessions. Here’s some suggestion on working with this Study Guide.1.Make a copy – Always have a fresh copy when you repeat any guide or homework.2. Don’t eat this “Elephant” at one time. The questions in this Study Guide are inthe same order as the content written in API 572. So read a few pages in API572 and then answer the questions associated with those pages. Always put a MARKby the questions that you have to GUESS.3. Check your answers. The Answer Key is provided in the back of this guide with API572 references.4. For questions that you either MISS or GUESS, look up the answer in API 572.5. If you have more time, repeat the process; Read a few more pages and Answer a fewmore questions.6. Don’t overlook short periods of time. Even 15 minutes is enough time to “eatthrough” 5-10 pages of API 572 and complete the associated questions.7. Note! Questions that are YELLOW are considered Open Book Questions.How many times should you do this Study Guide? Keep repeating this Guide until you canscore 80 %!!! And then occasionally repeat to maintain your peak score.MSTS1August 2018
