“Seagull CES marine test online about Introduction to Navigation” (Crew Evaluation Test) will help marine specialists in preparation to exams for getting certificate of confidence.
This test contains 27 questions. Mode “Practice” and “Exam” have one difference – in “Exam” mode you can’t ask the computer to show you the right answer.
Start test
A light is given with the following characteristics: FI W (3+1) 12 s 25 m 12M. Is this:
A white light flashing for 3 seconds, then 1 second up to a total of 12 seconds and having a range of 25 Nautical Miles?
A red light flashing for 12 seconds, having a range of 25 Nautical Miles?
A red light flashing for 3 seconds, then occulting once and having a range of 12 Nautical Miles?
A white light flashing for 12 seconds and having a range of 12 Nautical Miles?
Next question
How do you find the Nautical Mile scale on the chart?
By measuring one minute of Latitude.

Next question
How do you take a running fix?
By measuring the angle between two fixed landmarks and finding the sine of the angle.
