Direct answer
Discontinuity versus defect is a focused review angle candidates use to find weak spots before test day. On the Weld Discontinuities and NDE Practice Test, treat Discontinuity versus defect as a concept to understand, not an answer letter to memorize. Review how it affects safety, code interpretation, jobsite decisions, or timed problem solving, then answer a short practice set tied to Discontinuity naming, Defect versus discontinuity, Surface and subsurface indication logic.
