Are the questions aligned with the ASQ CCQM Body of Knowledge?

Yes. Each question is written around topics included in the published CQE Body of Knowledge and is tagged to the relevant BoK area. These are original practice questions and are not copied from the actual ASQ exam.

In Review Mode, you receive the correct answer and explanation immediately after answering each question. It is designed for learning, not just scoring, so you can correct misunderstandings before moving to the next question.

Does the quiz include calculations?

Yes. The free set includes a balanced mix of conceptual questions, applied scenarios and short calculations. The goal is to help you experience several common CCQM question styles.

Is my score on this quiz enough to determine whether I am ready?

No single 20-question quiz can confirm full exam readiness. Use it as an initial diagnostic, then assess yourself across larger question sets covering the complete Body of Knowledge.

What is included in the full CCQM practice-question package?

The complete package provides additional CCQM-style practice sets with broader Body of Knowledge coverage, detailed explanations and more opportunities to work on calculations, scenarios and commonly confused concepts.

Does purchasing the practice tests include the ASQ examination?

No. These are independent exam-preparation materials. Registration, eligibility review and the official certification examination are handled separately by ASQ.

Q1.The specification requires volumetric examination of $10\%$ of each welder's completed welds, rounded up to the next whole weld, with a minimum of three welds examined for every welder.

$\begin{array}{l|c} \hline \textbf{Welder} & \textbf{Welds completed} \\ \hline \text{A} & 62 \\ \text{B} & 25 \\ \text{C} & 140 \\ \text{D} & 8 \\ \hline \end{array}$

How many welds must be examined in total?
- A. $25$
- B. $27$ ✓ Correct answer
- C. $24$
- D. $22$
Explanation
Each welder is treated separately, and the count for a welder is the larger of the rounded percentage and the stated floor:

$n_i = \max\left(\lceil 0.10 w_i \rceil,\ 3\right)$

$n_A = \max(7, 3) = 7 \qquad n_B = \max(3, 3) = 3 \qquad n_C = \max(14, 3) = 14 \qquad n_D = \max(1, 3) = 3$

$n = 7 + 3 + 14 + 3 = 27$

The value $25$ is the primary foil: it applies the percentage and the rounding correctly but drops the minimum, which bites only on welder D. The value $24$ comes from taking $10\%$ of all $235$ welds together instead of welder by welder, and $22$ from rounding each welder down.
