If you choose level 2 or 3, then after finishing the test, you will see an answer to each question like below:

Question: Potential source of errors in RBI analysis regarding data quality are the following except...

A. If the base line thickness were not performed the nominal thickness may be used for the original thickness

B. If original thickness not available, averaged at thickness readings may be used

C. If the original thickness not available, maximum at thickness readings may be used

Correct Answer: C. Page 33 under 7.3 Data Quality.

The answer is C. The sentence you will find at the last paragraph of page 33 clearly talks about choice A as the potential source of error, and hence, A is not the answer (the question says "Potential sources of error... EXCEPT..., meaning that one of the answers is not a high potential of error and that is the answer). B is wrong because if you average the data then you are considering the lowest thickness data also as part of the average calculation which will result in lowering the calculated original thickness and in that case corrosion rate is basically "Underestimated" because in that case, you would compare the lowest reading with an average reading. C is the best answer because you are comparing the lowest thickness reading resulted by corrosion to the highest thickness readings of the areas that have not experienced corrosion and are still considered close to original thickness.
