certified technologist exam prep (continued...)

refering to the thread1103-321896

I just finished reading the asme y14.5 cover to cover and I just started reading the study guide I ordered from ASME.org when I realized there another book to buy.

Do I REALLY need to buy both the study guide and Y14.5.2 - 2000??? I don't mean to be cheap but I paid good money for the standard and the study guide to realize there is the body of knowledge... It starting to look like my wedding: just as you think budget is under control, some weird fee's keep appearing for some reason...

Thanks for your help.

It is available for free when you download the exam application off the ASME website. It will have the body of knowledge but I don't think it's labeled Y14.5.2.

Y14.5.2 is a separate document from the "applicant information" brochure on the ASME website. And I would say that you don't need the Y14.5.2; it goes over the background rules for certification, etc. The brochure itself is great, though, because of the Body of Knowledge that powerhound mentioned -- that's very important to use as your checklist for studying.

The other book you have might be the one by Nickolaisen, and that's a great help too, I think.
