1. At least 60% correct for each of the required test methods and practices; AND

The performance examination is also closed-book and requires actual demonstration of select field procedures described in ASTM test methods C140/C140M, C780, and C1019. The examinee is judged on their ability to correctly perform (or describe, where allowed) the required steps for each procedure.

Certification is valid for five years from the date of completing all requirements.
