Multiple Choice Quizzes with Illustrations for United States Coast Guard Merchant Marine License Exam Preparation Assistance.

Click Here to Continue to the New Online Study.

   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. Please report all errors on pages no matter how trivial.

   Your Username and Password from the old online study will not work. You must create a new user account for this new system.  

   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. The next new features to be added will be to allow users to contribute text directly to a reference cell and to allow users to print out the quizzes of their choice from a generated PDF file.

   If you come across any questions that you would like to add either a comment, formula, solution, link, or reference text as in CFR info, just do it with the bug reporting icon for now. Include your name if you want it to show up in the post.

 Please let me know if you have any problems with the login process.

Thanks

Steve

  We have added this Google group in an attempt to come up with an easy and accessible way of keeping members of the online study updated on changes and additions to the new testing site. We also hope members will use it as a platform for discussion on related topics. Posting of specific questions to the group may be the most efficient way of getting an answer as I am spending a lot of time offshore myself these days and not always able to respond. 

Please sign up.
