Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the ACI Strength Testing vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 ACI Strength Testing terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the ACI Strength Testing terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the American Concrete Institute content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What does the ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician certification cover?
The credential covers four ASTM practices for laboratory strength testing of hardened concrete: C39/C39M (compressive strength of cylinders), C78/C78M (flexural strength by third-point loading), C617/C617M (sulfur mortar capping), and C1231/C1231M (unbonded neoprene caps). It does not cover field sampling — that is the Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade I credential.
What is the ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician exam format?
The exam has two parts. The written exam is closed-book, one hour long, and contains approximately 40 multiple-choice questions, with at least eight questions on each of the four ASTM practices and test methods. The performance exam requires the candidate to physically demonstrate C39, C78, C617, and C1231 procedures on actual equipment in front of an examiner.
