Pipefitter Exam Study Guide (First-Year) — Canada

First-year pipe trades exams are built around fundamentals. You’re tested on core math, basic layout, fittings, safety, and symbols — not advanced field tricks.

If you’re passing quizzes in class but still unsure, you probably need more repetition on the basics. That’s where a clean study plan wins.

• •Pipefitting math (offsets, triangles, basic formulas)
• •Rigging basics and safe working loads
• •Pipe sizes, schedules, and fitting types
• •Valves, symbols, and blueprint reading
• •Safety fundamentals that show up on exams

Use a short, repeatable cycle. Don’t grind one topic for hours. Touch every key area every week.

• •Phase 1 (Week 1): flashcards + formula review
• •Phase 2 (Week 2): daily practice quizzes
• •Phase 3 (Week 3): diagrams + mixed exams
