About This Test
This course is for anyone who prepares for a U.S. Coast Guard captain's license (OUPV / six-pack, or Master). It drills the deck safety rules a captain must know: PFDs, distress signals, EPIRBs, fire extinguishers, ventilation, pollution rules, casualty reports and the credential itself.
The mock test is the real format: 50 questions, 35 to pass (70 percent), 3.5 hours. That is the National Maritime Center's OUPV Deck General/Safety module (Q170). A Master under 100 GRT sits the same material as two modules of 50, Deck General (Q160) and Deck Safety (Q161), at the same mark.
You take the real exam at a Coast Guard Regional Exam Center or through an approved course.
This course drills 163 questions.
