The test sections include word problems, interpretation & analysis problems, and applications problems for ASME Y14.5-2009 and 1994, with a section specifically dedicated to the ASME Y14.5-2009 New Rules—this section may be either included or excluded for the test based on the applicant’s previous training. This exam is administered with this Individual Testing Booklet for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing [per the ASME Y14.5-2009 and 1994 Standards] by the employer at their job site.

This ‘test’ was created by James D. Meadows, ASME Certified Sr. Level GDTP. He has been a full-time GD&T trainer/consultant since 1982 and has written 13 other best-selling GD&T books--7 of which explain Y14.5M-1994 and 3 new books and one new DVD GD&T Training Series written to explain the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard on Dimensioning and Tolerancing. He is nationally and internationally recognized as a ‘GD&T expert’ and is an active member of 10 ASME/ANSI standards committees and 2 ISO (international) technical advisory groups.

He is extremely knowledgeable, known industry wide as a dynamic communicator and has trained thousands of engineering and technical professionals for private industry, universities, DOE, DOD and NASA over the last 25 years. Starting his career over 25 years ago with a background as a Tool and Die Maker and Jig and Fixture Builder, you cannot find anyone more ‘expert’ on tolerancing issues that concern not just design and manufacturing but also quality and inspection professionals.
