hi brothers,ATTENTION Announcing some changes to API 510, 570 and 653 examination administrations Beginning with the December 5, 2012 exam administration API will make two minor changes to the API 510, 570 and 653 examination processes. API believes that these changes will help to maintain the value of our credentials by improving the exam experience for all candidates and keeping exam content current, relevant and free of errors. 1. The number of questions by which test takers will be graded or scored. The API 510, 570 and 653 tests in the past have always contained 150 questions on which candidates were scored. These exams will now contain 125 scored questions, plus 25 questions that will not be scored (otherwise known as "pre-test" items). All exam grading will still be based on the number of correct responses. The minimum number of correct responses required to achieve a passing score will be established based on the 125 scored items only. API will continue to utilize the statistical method of equating in order to maintain the same level of difficulty of the exams. The equating process will take into account that 25 of the test questions are now "pre-test" questions and establish an accordingly reduced passing grade for all exams. The pre-test questions will appear on all tests for all candidates; so each test taker receives the same, fair experience. Test takers will not know which test questions are scored and which are not
