New & Revised Exam Questions
The Coast Guard periodically develops new questions for use on its license
and documentation examinations as regulations are developed and/or changed.
Other questions are developed, reflecting changes in technology in the maritime
industry. Additionally, questions used by the Coast Guard are revised to
increase clarity by adding and/or deleting punctuation or through the rewording
of the questions and its answers. Periodically, questions as described above
will be published in this section as indicated by the month of publication.
New questions published in this section will begin to be used on licensing
and documentation examinations 30 days following their publication. The
public is encouraged to read through all questions and submit comments on
specific questions to the National Maritime Center. When questions are developed
and/or revised, they will be listed below with the month and year they are
