Worth noticing
The weld exercise uses hidden defects and grades sizing by the 6 dB drop method.

Field notes

The described exercises follow recognizable inspection steps rather than generic quiz prompts: echo-to-echo readings, two-point calibration, and a DAC built from side-drilled holes. The weld workflow asks users to swivel, plot, size indications by the 6 dB drop method, and write a report. The homepage says this final exercise includes hidden defects and a graded report in the full version.
