Q356 — Deck General and Safety (Great Lakes and Inland)

50 questions · 35 correct to pass (70%) · GLI07 OUPV Great Lakes and Inland

The inland route's Deck General and Safety module — the one a Clarks Hill candidate sits. Counted from its own paper: fire is 30% of it, against 22% on the near-coastal Q170, and anchoring and mooring 12%. It asks no marlinspike, watchkeeping or survival-at-sea question at all, and it adds credentialing of seamen. Fifty questions, thirty-five to pass.

Topics, by weight

Counted from the published Q356 sample examination, not from the topic outline — the two disagree, and the sample exam is the one that reflects the paper.

Study aid only — it certifies nothing. Question count and passing score are from the National Maritime Center Deck and Engineering Examination Guide; the topic list is the NMC's published examination topics for Q356. Every lesson names the Coast Guard publication or regulation it comes from.
