The wheelhouse starts here. 20 random questions from a 100-question bank modeled on the Coast Guard's Inland rules module — the one the Western Rivers steersman exam uses, and it takes 90% to pass, the toughest bar on the test.
⚠ Practice simulation only. This is not the Coast Guard exam and it is
not a replacement for studying the official USCG Rules of the Road —
read the book, learn the rules, and use this to find your weak spots. Passing here certifies nothing.
How it works
20
random questions per sitting — a new mix every time
90%
the real module's pass mark — that's 18 of 20 here
100
questions in the bank: lights, signals, meeting & passing, fog
Every answer shows the rule behind it, right or wrong — that's where the learning is. All Inland Rules — the rule set the river runs on and the steersman exam tests — including the Western Rivers provisions that make a towboat different from a ship.
