The sample exam will prepare machinists to take the actual credentialing exam. None of the questions are duplicates from the actual credentialing exam. However, this preparation guide is a useful tool for reviewing technical knowledge and identifying areas of strength and deficiency for adequate credentialing exam preparation.  \nAchieving a NIMS credential is a means through which machinists can prove their abilities to themselves, to their instructors or employers and to the customer. By passing the NIMS credentialing exam, you will earn a valuable and portable credential. Because the credentialing exam is challenging, you will have the satisfaction of proving to yourself and others that you have reached a level of competency that is accepted nationally.  \nWho Wrote the Questions  \nA panel of technical experts, from all areas of the metalworking industry, wrote the questions used on the actual credentialing exam. The panel of experts ranged from company presidents and owners, to engineers and quality personnel, to actual working machinists. Credentialing exam questions are designed to assess the knowledge skills needed for entry-level machinists. They are written to deal with practical problems, computations and decisions machinists encounter in their day-to-day work.  \nThe technical experts must first validate the credentialing exam questions. Then, before the questions become part of the credentialing exam, qualified machinistsand industry personnel again validate them on a national level. Rejected questions are then rewritten or discarded altogether.  \nPage 2 of 28  \nHow to Prepare for the Credentialing Exam  \nBecome familiar with the credentialing exam content and question format by utilizing the tools provided in this exam preparation guide. The Exam Specifications portion of this guide contains a summary description of the content covered by the actual credentialing exam. The Task List describes competencies for each particular area associated with the credentialing area. Each question on the sample exam is linked to a particular task or set of tasks found in the Task List. Therefore, a review of the Task List, with an eye on judging whether you know how to perform each task listed, will provide you with valuable information as you prepare for the credentialing exam.  \nThe questions are multiple-choice. Note instructions that may accompany some questions. Be sure to read each question carefully (twice, if necessary) so that you know exactly what is being asked. Check each answer and your work since an error in computation or understanding may make a wrong answer appear correct.  \nThe following four steps are suggested for effective preparation:  \nStep 1: Study the content list for each credentialing exam you will attempt.  \nStep 2: Carefully read the Task List for each section.  \nStep 3: Review the sample exam to become familiar with subject matter and question type. This is a very important step.  \nStep 4: Repeat steps 1 through 3 and identify the area(s) where you need additional study. Use the preparation guide as a self-diagnostic assessment tool.  \nAreas of K","cbCaia6KMBkKBE74","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia6KMBkKBE74","pdf",322208,28,"English","# Overview\n## Introduction\n## Who Wrote the Questions\n## How to Prepare for the Credentialing Exam\n## Areas of Knowledge Measured by the Credentialing Exam\n## Grinding Safety\n## Measurement\n## Grinding Wheel Dressing","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the NIMS Machining Level I Grinding preparation guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide helps machinists study for the NIMS written credentialing exam using a sample exam to review technical knowledge and locate areas of strength and deficiency.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the credentialing exam questions created and validated?\",\"answer\":\"A panel of technical experts from across the metalworking industry writes the questions.
