Click here to try the new online Beta site which is now ready for trial testing. We are inviting everyone to help us beat on this new system to make sure all the bugs are out and to make suggestions on final additions to the format. We highly recommend using Mozilla Firefox as a browser with this test site. It is available for free as a download. Bug reporting is a very simple process now by clicking on the "Bug" icon. This sends us an email which targets the question ID# for quick solutions. Username and Password from the current online study will not work. You must create a new temporary user account.   The score history is now fully functional. Remember that even though you are online while you are choosing which test to take when you click on "take test" and "ok" the quiz is actually temporarily loaded to your computer which makes the quizzes run much faster than the old system. This new format will eventually take the place of the "TesTTaker" software in that what you see online is what you will get for software when it becomes available. As of 24 Feb 2010 we have fixed the problem with the references and the tables in the reference cells now line up properly. Also I have started adding hyperlinks directly to the reference cells. The illustrations now are opening in a new window which seems to work much better.. Please let me know if you have any problems with the login process.

Definition:  A generic term for several classes of self-contained floatable or floating drilling machines such as jackups, semisubmersibles, and submersibles. 

   The subject of Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit consists of  1,640 questions and 0 illustrations which are presented as 82 / 20 question quizzes. If you are studying for your United States Coast Guard MODU exam you should continue working through all 82 of these quizzes until you are scoring 80% or better on all of them. 

   As you work through the quizzes you will find some questions that are very similar in content but may vary slightly in either the wording or in the order in which the answers appear. Work through them anyway. These are not randomly generated quizzes. The questions used in our quizzes are from the National Maritime Centers latest database of questions that are used by United States Coast Guard, USCG, Regional Exam Centers for administering tests and are categorized into their specific subject for targeted study. The online quizzes are presented in an interactive, easy to use, point and click, multiple choice format. After two or three times through a quiz you will see your scores rapidly improve. Move on to the next quiz and repeat the process. Check your score history frequently to see which subjects you may need to review.
