  1. Week 1Free

    Part A — Welding Processes & Symbols

    Part A fundamentals: SMAW/GMAW/GTAW/FCAW/SAW processes, joint design, and reading AWS welding symbols.

    • •Learn the common arc-welding processes and their variables (current, polarity, shielding)
    • •Drill welding-symbol interpretation — fillet, groove, and supplementary symbols
    • •Flashcards: joint types, weld terminology, and process abbreviations

  2. Week 2 Plan

    Part A — Metallurgy, Discontinuities & NDT

    The rest of Part A: metallurgy and heat effects, weld discontinuities, destructive and nondestructive testing, and inspection math.

    • •Master common discontinuities (porosity, undercut, incomplete fusion, cracks) and their causes
    • •Cover NDT methods (VT, PT, MT, RT, UT) and destructive tests — when each applies
    • •Drill inspection math and metallurgy/heat-treatment questions with instant AI explanations

  3. Week 3 Plan

    Part B Practical & Part C Code (AWS D1.1)

    The open-book parts most candidates fail: Part B measurement of replica welds against a book of specs, and Part C code lookups in AWS D1.1.

    • •Practice fast, precise measurement with fillet gauges and calipers, then apply acceptance criteria from the book of specifications
    • •Drill Part B specimen questions until lookups are error-free — this is the section that sinks strong candidates
    • •Tab and navigate AWS D1.1 for Part C: acceptance criteria, qualification, and code-clause lookups against the clock

  4. Week 4 Plan

    Timed Mock Exams

    Full timed sets across all three parts — remember, you must clear 72% on each in the same sitting.

    • •Two full-length timed mock exams covering Part A, Part B, and Part C together
    • •Review every miss with the AI tutor and re-drill any single part below 72%
    • •Target a consistent 80%+ on every part — one weak part fails the whole exam
