Description
Know you'll pass before you take the exam.Here's the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to prepare for the U.S. Coast Guard captain's ratings exams required for anyone who takes paying passengers on a boat, and useful for serious boaters who want to save money on insurance. Included are the six-passenger "Six-Pack," Master and Mate Inland, Master and Mate Near Coastal, and Sail/Auxiliary Sail Endorsement. Every question and answer on the Coast Guard exams--all 6,215 of them--is provided. The interactive CD-ROM allows you to take an unlimited number of practice exams, randomly selects questions from the database, simulating a real exam, grades you, tells you which questions you got wrong, and keeps a log of your test results. This new edition brings the book up-to-date with the Coast Guard's expanded and revised database of questions and answers.
