For educational use. This page is a study aid. The method behind it has far more depth and detail than one page and one tool can cover, and what you see here is not everything the method offers or everything this site offers. For full understanding and application, use the governing standards and texts, and seek further education, training or qualified advice. Results depend on the data you enter, so check them before relying on them.
How it works
The 2025 CQI Body of Knowledge is split into four sections and 93 requirements, from technical mathematics and metrology to inspection and test and quality assurance. The random sample, quick check and full exam follow the real exam’s section mix, and the questions come in a random mix across all the requirements, never grouped by requirement. The bank goes further than one question per requirement: every point named in a requirement's detail, 352 in all (each gauge type, each surface plate tool, each testing method, each MSA term, each control chart, and so on), has at least one question of its own. About a fifth of the questions need a calculation, as on the real exam, and every one was worked and checked before it went in.
Random sample asks 20 questions with the real exam’s section mix, for a short test when time is tight. Quick check is half the real exam, 50 questions. Full exam is the length of the real exam, 100 questions, with its section mix. Work on my weak spots asks two questions on every requirement that is not Strong yet. Questions you have not seen come first, then ones you missed.
How each requirement is judged
Each requirement gets a status from your last six answers on it, across every attempt saved in this browser. Strong means 80% or better on at least two answers. Borderline is 50 to 79%, and a Gap is under 50%. One answer is not enough to judge either way, so a requirement you have answered only once is marked as needing more answers.
The weighted score counts each section by how many questions it carries on the real exam, from 32 for Inspection and Test to 19 for Technical Mathematics, so a strong result in a small section cannot hide a weak one in a large section. ASQ reports a scaled score and does not publish a percentage pass mark, so treat the numbers as a guide. A sensible goal before you book: every requirement Strong, and weighted scores of 80% or better on repeat attempts.
Your results and your trend
Every finished attempt is saved in this browser, with no account and nothing sent anywhere. The report shows your score by section and by requirement, what to study next with links to the matching free tools, and every question with its explanation. Your trend shows how your weighted score moves from attempt to attempt.
