Verbal section consists of four types of questions: synonyms, antonyms, analogies, and word-based problems.
Synonyms questions require identifying similar words to a given word.
Antonyms questions require identifying opposite words to a given word.
Analogies questions require identifying relationships between words.
Word-based problems require solving problems based on word meanings.
Verbal reasoning involves identifying patterns and relationships between words, understanding word nuances, and context.
To prepare for the verbal section, improve vocabulary, practice identifying synonyms and antonyms, and develop critical thinking and analytical skills.

Logical section consists of four types of questions: number series, letter series, logical reasoning, and data sufficiency.
Number series questions require identifying patterns in number sequences.
Letter series questions require identifying patterns in letter sequences.
Logical reasoning questions require solving problems based on logical rules.
Data sufficiency questions require determining if sufficient data is provided to solve a problem.
Logical reasoning involves identifying patterns and relationships between numbers and letters, understanding logical rules, and applying them to solve problems.
To prepare for the logical section, practice recognizing patterns in number and letter sequences, develop problem-solving skills using logical rules, and improve analytical and critical thinking skills.

Pipe fitting involves installing, assembling, and maintaining piping systems for various industries
Key responsibilities include cutting, bending, and assembling pipes and fittings, connecting pipes to fixtures and equipment, testing and inspecting pipe systems, and troubleshooting and repairing pipe systems
Essential tools and equipment include pipe cutters and benders, wrenches and pliers, measuring tools, and testing equipment

Arc welding uses an electric arc to melt and join metals
Key characteristics include high heat input, fast welding speeds, and the ability to weld a variety of metals
Arc welding requires a power source, electrode, and shielding gas
Types of arc welding include Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), and Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

SMAW is also known as "stick" welding
It uses a consumable electrode covered in a flux to protect the arc and molten metal
SMAW is portable and versatile, can be used on a variety of metals, and is relatively low-cost and easy to learn
Applications include construction, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair, as well as fabrication and manufacturing

Oxy-acetylene welding uses a flame produced by the combustion of oxygen and acetylene to melt and join metals
Key characteristics include a high-temperature flame, the ability to weld a variety of metals, and the requirement for a torch, oxygen and acetylene cylinders, and a regulator
Applications include repair and maintenance work, fabrication and manufacturing, as well as cutting and brazing

GTAW is also known as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding
It uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert gas to shield the arc
Key characteristics include high-quality welds with minimal distortion and porosity, the ability to weld a variety of metals, and the requirement for a high degree of skill and precision
Applications include aerospace, automotive, and precision fabrication, as well as food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries
