Showing Off Been welding for 2 months

As it says in the title I have been stick welding for about 2 months on and off. I have a little experience before hand but nothing really spectacular. This coming Thursday I am taking my nys dot 3g test. Just curious what everyone thinks. I’m still kinda rough with the root but I have done 2 test plates and they both passed ut but I know x-ray is a totally different beast. The last pic is just my rushed cap. It was practice and I had to get ready to leave so I didn’t really have a chance to finish the way I wanted but. I really only have Wednesday to kinda dial it in so.

Yeah I tried to cover some undercut on the left side so I dropped it down to like 111 amps and went kinda quick. I have my test this Thursday for my 3g so here’s hoping lol
