The key takeaways from the document are that it provides a short practice exam on AWS D1.1 code with multiple choice questions and answers related to welder qualifications, welding processes, transitions of thickness, ambient temperature requirements, nondestructive testing, base metals, and convexity limits. The document also provides the answers to the practice exam questions along with the relevant code references.

If a welder is qualified on a vertical fillet weld, they would be qualified for flat and overhead fillet welds.

For a welding procedure qualification on pipe or tubing with a 0.208" wall thickness, the maximum reinforcement permitted is 1/8".
