Question Review

QUESTION REVIEW

While taking the course, you will be presented with 50 questions, similar to the following examples. You will also receive 5 questions dealing with the boating laws used by your state.

Please review the following questions to familiarize yourself with the question format, and also review the study topics prior to taking the test.

All questions are multiple choice, and have four to five answers to choose from.

If you see a boat off your boat's starboard beam, you are seeing it:

straight out from the middle of your boat's left side.

straight ahead of your boat.

straight out from the middle of your boat's right side.

in your boat's danger zone.

directly behind your boat.

In the above question, there are five distinct (a,b,c,d,e) possible answers, so you must choose which of the five answers is the BEST choice. In this question, only "c" is correct, so "c" is your BEST choice.

Failure to maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing and all useful means available so as to be fully aware of the situation and any risk of collision:

Is a major cause of collision between boats underway.

Directly violates the Navigation Rules (NAV RULES).

Reduces safety of all boats in the area.

Is acceptable as long as the other vessel is watching.

A, B, and C.

In the above question, there are four (a,b,c,d) distinct answers, and one answer (e) that combines other choices. While any one of the first four choices (a,b,c,d) may be correct by iteself, other choices may also be correct. If there is more than one possible correct answer (any combination of a,b,c or d), the BEST choice is the answer that combines all of the correct answers (e). In this case, "a", "b" and "c" are all correct answers to the question, so "e" would be the BEST choice.
