5.0 out of 5 stars I passed my CG Exams
This book contains the same questions as the CG NMC website, but having it in print and separated into sections is very useful; most questions will come from the CFR, however, getting exposed and memorizing a few saves a lot of time on test day.

This review is from: Get Your Captain's License, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book contains the same questions as the CG NMC website, but having it in print and separated into sections is very useful; most questions will come from the CFR, however, getting exposed and memorizing a few saves a lot of time on test day. Ground tackle, deck tackle, stability & gryo error well covered. Also contains the full-color guide to running lights, w/ bullet comparison btwen INT & INL ROTR. The CD is a little quarky, b/c it incoroporates a lot of celestial nav problems and MODU questions...w/out a way to filter out...but ROTR questions spot-on.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Question DB, but does not support all the material, December 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Get Your Captain's License, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This is NOT a one stop book - at best it is a strong study guide, but leaves a huge gap in presenting material. I did like the idea of the Software.

This review is from: Get Your Captain's License, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book is very similar, if not the exact same as previous editions (with a red cover). I purchased the new version in hopes that the cd-rom software would make studying faster and more efficient. It couldn't be more painstaking with this slow, awful, useless software.

When you get the wrong answer, it lets you guess until you have the right one, then upon review - no record of missing the question.

The software is atrocious, but the book is very informative (and heavy).

Book 5 stars
Software 0 stars.

This is an excellent resource for anyone renewing their USCG Captain's license. I ordered a previously owned copy of this book with expedited shipping and it arrived within 72 hours. Very impressive.
