GD&T Professional Exam Guide: Free Kindle Promotion

Preparing for the ASME GDTP exam on notes written for the 2009 standard is the slowest way to lose marks, because the exam is built on Y14.5-2018. For a few days you can have a study guide written to the 2018 edition on your Kindle at no cost.

Why a candidate would want it now

Most people who fail the GDTP do not fail on definitions. They fail on callouts that look familiar and mean something slightly different under the 2018 rules, and on questions where two answers are almost right. The guide is built around exactly that problem. Every rule has an original drawing that shows what the callout allows and what it forbids, and every chapter ends with exam-style questions that explain why the tempting wrong answer is wrong.

If your exam date is a few weeks away, the free Kindle copy gives you something to read on the train or at lunch without waiting for a parcel. If it is months away, you can download it now and come back to it when you start studying in earnest.

What is inside

The book has 21 chapters on the 2018 body of knowledge, weighted in roughly the proportions the exam uses. Each chapter carries 12 exam-style questions with full explanations. At the end you get two original 150-question practice exams, one for the Technologist level and one for Senior, with every answer explained, so you can sit a full timed run before the real thing.

Around the chapters sit the reference pages candidates keep asking for: a formula sheet, a 159-term glossary, a topic map that links each part of the body of knowledge to its chapter, and a study tracker to see which areas still need work.

Who it is for

It suits engineers and inspectors preparing for either level of the GDTP, designers who learned GD&T on the older standard and need to relearn the changes, and checkers who review drawings and want a clear reference for what each control really demands. It is an independent study guide by a working engineer, not an ASME publication, and it is a study aid rather than a promise of a result.

How the free download works

Press the button above and Amazon opens on your own country’s store. Make sure the Kindle price shows 0.00, then buy it as you would any other ebook, with your usual Amazon account. If the price is not 0.00, the promotion has not started or has ended in that store, so do not click Buy. The book lands in your Kindle library and syncs to every device where you use the Kindle app, so the drawings open on a tablet as easily as on a phone.

The paperback and the practice kit

The promotion covers the Kindle ebook only. The paperback keeps its normal price, and some readers prefer it for the drawings. If you want timed practice beyond the two exams in the book, the ASME GDTP Complete Exam Kit adds full practice exams with scoring by topic. Readers of the book also get a free reader’s companion with a short quiz for every chapter.

If you read it and it helps, an honest rating or review on the Amazon store where you downloaded it would mean a lot to me.
