jimvanm Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 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 Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC1OZ Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Depends on who you are taking the boating exam from.... Most companies use questions that are verbatim from their study materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimvanm Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks a ton for the response. I did a bit more digging and found this, which also includes sample questions: http://www.boatsmartexam.com/manual.cfm Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimvanm Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 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.

POLLIWOGG Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Take a Canadian Power Squadron Coarse, She will actually learn something and won't have to guess, and its cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimvanm Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'll look into it. I'm very much interested in her accomplishing more than just passing the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
