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 419 questions enough?

Each one comes with a worked explanation and its reference. You also get 24 end-of-module checks and 6 worked calculations. 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.

How long do I keep access?

Lifetime access: your access has no end date. Updates are included, so if American Petroleum Institute moves this exam to a newer code edition while you have access, your course moves with it.

Are the questions copied from the exam?

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

How are the questions written?

In our own words, to API'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.

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.
