API 510 recert quiz FAQ

Where do the practice questions come from?

Every question is original and written from topic and section numbers. Your score does not predict your quiz result.

What does API say about the quiz?

API's API 510 page describes a 25-question open-book web quiz every six years. Pass mark and proctoring are not stated in the pages we read, so we do not claim either. Read API's recertification page for the current rules.

Do you reproduce the codes?

No. We cite document and section numbers without reproducing code-book text. Use your own licensed references when studying.

How is the check scored?

Items are grouped into four areas. API publishes no outline or weights for the web quiz that we found, so the areas are our own practice split. The result helps you choose what to read next.
