Lesson 7 - Practice what you have learned

    In this section you have access to the Starpath online question generator, which you can use to select NavRules questions in any category for further practice. Having trouble with rules on barge lights?, then just set the filter to "barge lights" and ask for 10, 20, or 50 questions to answer. After submitting your answers, the correct answers will then be provided. Select from Inland only, International only, or both.

    If preparing for a USCG license exam, you should be able to answer 50 questions selected randomly with a 90 percent score. Keep practicing till you can, asking questions in the Student Locker along the way as needed.
