Boat Operator Card - anywhere to download information?

[jimvanm]

Does anyone know of a good online resource for studying to get an Operator's Card?

 

Google turns up a ton of sites where you can take your exam, but it's harder to find study guides that can be downloaded.

 

TIA

Depends on who you are taking the boating exam from....

 

Most companies use questions that are verbatim from their study materials.

Thanks a ton for the response.

 

I did a bit more digging and found this, which also includes sample questions:

It's a pretty simple test. I did it last year in the Home Hardware parking lot (pay if you pass) on a whim and only got 2 questions wrong. I didn't study at all, had just driven a boat for 15 years. Most are common sense, the only ones I had trouble with were the sailboat lighting configurations.

Agreed, but my 12 year old daughter wants to get her card as well, and for her I was looking for a study guide that doesn't read like a legal document. The one I found online seems to fit the bill. We went through some of the sample tests together, and she guesses more right than I did, so I think we're on the right track here.

Take a Canadian Power Squadron Coarse, She will actually learn something and won't have to guess, and its cheaper.

I'll look into it. I'm very much interested in her accomplishing more than just passing the test.
