    Accuracy versus precision

    Five readings of a 1.0000 inch gauge block all fall between 1.0049 and 1.0051 inch. How would you describe the gauge?

    1. Accurate and preciseYour answer
    2. Precise but not accurateRight answer
    3. Accurate but not precise
    4. Neither accurate nor precise

    You: My readings all land within 0.001 inch of each other, but every one is 0.005 inch off the gauge block. Is the gauge accurate or precise?

    Mic: Precise, not accurate. Precision is how close repeated readings are to each other. Accuracy is how close they are to the true value, here the gauge block's size. Tight readings that all miss by the same amount point to a bias, which calibration can correct.

    Key point: Close together is precision. Close to the true value is accuracy.

    An original example, not an exam question. AI can be wrong, so check it against your course.

    Questions

    When do I get access?

    Straight away. Checkout takes you to your course, and the receipt email has the same link.

    How do I get back into my course?

    Use the link in your receipt email. If you can't find it, enter your email on the course page and we resend it to the address on your order.

    Is 300 questions enough?

    Each one comes with a worked explanation and its reference. You also get 18 end-of-module checks. Today's 10 and your missed set bring your misses back on later days, so you work the bank instead of reading it once.

    Can I get a refund?

    Eligibility depends on your plan, when you request a refund and your paid use. See the refund terms for the conditions and exceptions.

    What if I need a retest?

    Keep studying in the same course. Your access has no end date, so your retake prep is already paid for, and your practice history, missed questions and readiness by domain are still there. The 7-day pass is the exception: it ends after 7 days.

    How long do I keep access?

    Lifetime access: your access has no end date. Updates are included, so if ASQ moves this exam to a newer code edition while you have access, your course moves with it. The 7-day pass is the exception. 7-day pass: access ends 7 days after payment, to the minute. It does not renew and is not a subscription. A timed practice exam started before then can still be finished.

    More questions (6)
    If I buy the 7-day pass now, is its price taken off a bigger plan later?

    No. Each plan is a separate purchase at its listed price, and the $29 paid for the 7-day pass is not credited toward another plan. With more than a week before your exam, a full plan is the better buy.

    Are the questions copied from the exam?

    No. Every question is original and written to ASQ's published content outline. Exam content is confidential and we never use it. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by ASQ.

    How are the questions written?

    In our own words, to ASQ's current published outline. See how many questions cover each domain.

    Can my employer pay?

    Yes. Pay at checkout and we email a receipt you can expense, or download a reimbursement request to send your manager.

    Is Mic AI?

    Yes. Mic is an AI study assistant, not a person or an instructor. Check important details against your lessons and references.

    Can you promise I will pass?

    No, and nobody honest can. We promise everything listed in your plan, and a fix within 2 business days for any wrong answer key.

    Employer paying?
