St John Ambulance is offering the exam, by appointment, for 25.00
A good deal and the money goes to a worthy cause.

I challenged it back in 2000, $7.00, 100%. Now, I see they want up to $75.00! :shock:

One thing about the exam, is if you fail, the best place for you is probably in your house and no-where near a boat.

:D True, the exam is more about common sense than anything else.

I bought a study guide then just challenged the exam without using the guide. If anyone needs the guide, I will sell, trade or lend it.

We did Laura's on Boaterexam.com. When it came in the mail included there was to 2 $10 off coupons. If any one would like a promo code from one of these coupons let me know.

I did mine a couple years ago when I heard it would be mandatory. I did it through boaterexam.com and found it to be more common sense that anything.
