This document summarizes test specimens for a CWI exam. It includes: 1. Four plates tested for bend tests with different acceptance criteria based on discontinuity type and location. 2. A fillet weld test with seven questions evaluating acceptability of discontinuities in multiple segments based on quantity and location. 3. Groove weld tests with common defects like underfill, undercut and excessive reinforcement all rejected per the standards. 4. Multiple fillet weld specimens tested with various discontinuities like arc strikes, spatter and undercuts evaluated against acceptability. 5. A section on non-destructive testing identifying various defects detectable by methods like liquid penetrant
