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

The focus of Level I Practical examinations, as outlined in ANSI/ASNT CP-189, is aimed at practical applications using test samples. This level of assessment is designed to evaluate a candidate's hands-on skills and competence in using radiographic testing techniques on actual materials.

The rationale behind this approach is to ensure that individuals seeking Level I certification possess not only a theoretical understanding of radiographic testing but also the ability to implement that knowledge effectively in real-world scenarios. By working with test samples, candidates demonstrate their proficiency in executing specific procedures, interpreting results, and understanding the operational aspects of radiographic testing equipment.

Other options do not align with the intent of Level I Practical examinations. While an overview of theory or short assessments of specific techniques might cover certain aspects of the training, they do not provide the in-depth, practical experience that the exam intends to assess. Similarly, comprehensive assessments covering all levels would extend beyond the scope of Level I, as this level specifically targets practical competence rather than broader theoretical knowledge or advanced techniques.
