Hi Eric, I am a certified welding inspector as well as a B Pressure welder with 14+ years experience in the trade. For successful completion of the practical exam, my first suggestion would be to talk to some welders and see if they can make up coupons for you displaying various weld defects. I found the cwb modules poorly written and the pictures were the shits. You could also pm me if you are in need of assistance. Hope to help and good luck!!!

I just wrote my CWB Level 2 exam a few weeks ago... Its was one of the easiest closed book exams I've writen... That being said, I got my results back and turns out I failed 3 of the 4 portions.. Closed book 63% Code 64% and Practicle 54%.
I call B.S. on these as I know I knew more that 70% of the closed book answers and all my code answers were taked directly from the code itself... SO someone explain to me how I failed... The Practical exam was the same coupons I examined in during my level 1 exam and I passed that with a 70% back then... I know I found more defects on the coupons the second time around, so again someone explain how I fell below 70%.
Does anyone know if I can get a review of my results as I'm 100% sure something went wrong with the CWB in this process.. I know I didn't get 100% but I know that I at least came within the 70% criteria.
I'm so confused.

Hi Babak, I hope you pass your exam. I just wrote level 2 exam, three weeks ago. The practical exam method had been changed!!! do you happen to have the new practical exam instruction? cheersbabakaiff wrote:Hey, I just wrote my level 2 final on Monday (3 times because I was so pissed off) and failed all 3 times.
have you had any success passing?
