The API-570 exam (Piping Inspector) is the official API exam that leads to the Authorized Piping Inspector certification, a credential at the Specialist / Inspector Level level. Related certifications include API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector, API 653 Storage Tank Inspector, API 580 Risk-Based Inspection, API 579 Fitness-for-Service. TestKingsIT provides 150 practice questions to help you prepare for it with confidence.

The API-570 exam contains 170 (110 closed-book, 60 open-book; 140 scored, 30 pretest) questions and gives you 450 (275 closed-book + 45 min break + 225 open-book) to finish them. Before exam day, divide the total time by the question count so you know the pace you need to keep, and flag difficult items instead of getting stuck on them. Running at least one full timed session in the TestKingsIT test engine is the best way to make that time pressure feel familiar.

You need 400 scaled score out of 500 to pass, and the official registration fee is $875 (API member), $1,125 (non-member). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so it pays to test yourself first.
