The API API-571 exam, officially titled Corrosion and Materials Professional, is the required test for earning the ICP Programs certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it validates the skills API expects from certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector, API 570 Piping Inspector, API 653 Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector.

The API-571 exam includes 100 questions, and you have 3.5 hours (210 minutes) to complete it. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count so you know the pace you need to hold, and practice flagging time-consuming items for review instead of stalling on a single question. Timed sessions in the Actual4Labs test engine are the easiest way to build that rhythm before it counts.

You need Minimum passing score determined by API using the modified Angoff method (typically around 70%) to pass the API-571 exam, and the official registration fee is $900 USD (exam fee through API). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again for a retake, so avoid booking your seat on a hunch. Work through the Actual4Labs practice test until your scores sit comfortably above the passing requirement before you schedule the exam.

API asks candidates to meet the following requirement before registering: Candidates must hold a current API 510, 570, or 653 certification to automatically qualify.
