Get your book out study it thoroughly and take the test. If you dont pass it at least you have an idea of what is on it.

---While I certainly agree with this answer, it's also important to note that there are a lot of things on the NCCER test for pipe-fitting that you will pretty much never run into in the field. With that, and the above statement, being said, there is a company called Contren that has a learning series for any craft in the NCCER certification series. Here's the link to the pipe-fitter's series in the Related Link below.
The company is not called Contren. Contren is NCCER's copyrighted curriculum that they developed for trainees. It can be purchased through Pearson Publishing. here is the link to find it; http://nccer.pearsonconstructionbooks.com/store/browse.aspx?st=69118
It's HARD!!!!! Study for a couple of years and good luck!
As far as I know , a free book no. Unless you are being tested thru a company. There are 4 levels of certification . Math a big part pythagram theorem ,learn it .
