The API-571 exam (Corrosion and Materials Professional) is the official API exam that leads to the Corrosion and Materials Professional certification, a credential at the Professional level. Related certifications include API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector, API 570 Piping Inspector, API 653 Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector. PrepAwayTest provides 151 practice questions to help you prepare for it with confidence.

The API-571 exam contains 110 (100 scored, 10 unscored pretest) questions and gives you 195 minutes to finish them. Before exam day, divide the total time by the question count so you know the pace you need to keep, and flag difficult items instead of getting stuck on them. Running at least one full timed session in the PrepAwayTest test engine is the best way to make that time pressure feel familiar.

You need 70% / Scaled score determined by API to pass, and the official registration fee is $440 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so it pays to test yourself first. When your scores on the PrepAwayTest timed practice tests stay consistently above the passing line, you are ready to book the exam.
