American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Radiographic Testing Practice Test

For Level I and II examinations in radiographic testing, a combination of written and practical tests is necessary to ensure that candidates have comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills. The written portion assesses theoretical understanding, including concepts such as radiation fundamentals, principles of radiography, and regulations. This ensures that candidates grasp the critical elements required to perform radiographic testing effectively.

Practical demonstrations evaluate the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. Candidates are required to demonstrate their capability to set up equipment, interpret radiographs, and follow safety protocols. This holistic approach guarantees that individuals are not only knowledgeable but can also perform the tasks required in a work environment proficiently.

Using only written examinations would fail to assess the practical skills necessary for the job, while practical demonstrations alone would not confirm that a candidate understands the theoretical background critical for safe and effective work in the field. Observation-based assessments, while valuable, do not provide the structured evaluation that both written and practical tests collectively offer. Thus, the combination of written and practical tests is essential for adequately preparing Level I and II candidates in the field of radiographic testing.
