AWS began offering CBT exams in May 2016 for select certification programs; and portions of the Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) exam will transition to CBT exams in May 2019.  \nThe move to CBT signifies a modernization of the exam process. Other organizations such as NACE, ASNT, and API have moved to CBT in recent years for many of the same reasons. Moving to CBT is part of the continuous improvement and streamlining of internal and external processes within AWS. Additionally, CBT provides improved exam security and standardization by assuring that each candidate’s experience is consistent and comparable to other candidates’ experience.  \nThe move to CBT represents several advantages for candidates including:  \n• flexibility to schedule your Part A and Part C exam when it’s most convenient for you and taking the test at a test center close to you;  \n• a divided exam period (you can take Parts A and C on different days) that allows for more study time between exam parts;  \n• access to searchable electronic books during most open book exams;  \n• CBT will provide you with exam transparency regarding time remaining; and  \n• you will receive your preliminary test results at the test center at the conclusion of the Parts A and C portions of the exam.  \nNote: Your official test score letter (including Part B) will be sent to you approximately 4 – 6 weeks after completing all portions ofthe test.  \nUseful Resources:  \nTo ensure you are familiar with the process, visit the AWS website  \n[http://www.aws.org/certification/page/computer-based-testing](http://www.aws.org/certification/page/computer-based-testing for more)[ for more](http://www.aws.org/certification/page/computer-based-testing for more) information.  \nUnderstand Prometric’s security process when checking in at a test center:  \n[https://www.prometric.com/en-us/for-test-takers/pages/Test-Center-Security.aspx](https://www.prometric.com/en-us/for-test-takers/pages/Test-Center-Security.aspx)  \n[Take a sample tutorial on how to navigate the screens during your computer-based testing:](Take a sample tutorial on how to navigate the screens during your computer-based testing:)  \n[https://www.prometric.com/_layouts/results/index.html](https://www.prometric.com/_layouts/results/index.html)  \nTake a Test Drive Before Exam Day:  \n[https://www.prometric.com/en-us/for-test-takers/prepare-for-test-day/pages/take-a-practice](https://www.prometric.com/en-us/for-test-takers/prepare-for-test-day/pages/take-a-practice)test.aspx  \n“What to Expect on Test Day\" video:  \n[https://vimeo.com/190759122](https://vimeo.com/190759122)  \nLearn even more and access Prometric’s various other resources, by visiting  \n[http://www.prometric.com/aws](http://www.prometric.com/aws)  \nAdditionally, we have included some possible Questions and Answers related to CBT testing and Prometric on the following pages.  \nThank you,  \nThais Luque Nichole Bradley  \n[tluque@aws.org](tluque@aws.org)  [nichole@aws.org](nichole@aws.org)  \nPossible Questions Regarding CBT and Prometric  \n1.
