Unofficial — not a government app
This private study app is not the State of California, the State Water Resources Control Board, any Regional Water Quality Control Board, or any other government agency or official training body. It does not represent, speak for, endorse, or replace those organizations. It is not an official exam, license, permit portal, or government service.
Official government sources
Authoritative Industrial General Permit (Order 2014-0057-DWQ as amended) text and program rules:
Always confirm current requirements with those official sources and your training provider / candidate instructions.
What this app is for
Unofficial multiple-choice drill for California Qualified Industrial Storm Water Practitioner (QISP) under the Industrial General Permit (Order 2014-0057-DWQ as amended). It does not replace required training, ToR pathways where applicable, or the official exam.
How to study
- Learn — today’s recommended new questions and spaced reviews
- Progress — tap a weaker category to drill that topic
- Exam — timed practice exam; explanations after you finish
Set your target date, mastery, daily study time, and session size once. The app mixes new questions with reviews. Focus on weak topics and permit navigation rather than rote memorization.
Mastery vs exam score
Target mastery (default about 85%) is your spaced-repetition readiness on this app’s practice set. It is not the same as an official passing score. This app’s timed practice exam uses a 70% practice target — confirm the current official QISP candidate instructions and passing standard.
Exam tip
Success often depends on finding the right concept in the Industrial General Permit under time pressure—not on rote trivia. Always confirm current Water Boards / training-provider candidate instructions.
In this app’s timed practice exam you can go back and change answers. Locking the phone or leaving the app pauses the timer; you can resume or quit (quit is not scored).
Guessed answers
On Learn practice, after a correct answer you can mark I guessed. That schedules an earlier review and adds the item to Look up in the permit so you can confirm the topic in the IGP text.
Content updates
Practice-content updates download quietly and apply the next time you fully start the app. An active study session or timed exam will not be interrupted. You do not need to press a special button.
