Installing Software and Downloading Modules

We now have a whole new website.

coast-guard-exam.net

Click here to redirect.

 

  If you wish to take the questions with you on your laptop or be able to study while offline then all of the individual subject modules in the online study are now available for download to the "Testtaker" software for registered members as well as free upgrades whenever any changes or additions are made to questions or illustrations.

  The installed version of our standalone software looks and performs almost identically to the online study site and includes the following features:

  • Personalized score history
  • Full search functions "Very handy for open book renewals"
  • Free unlimited study guide creation for purchased modules
  • Quiz taking ability identical to the online study
  • Free unlimited creation of practice final exams.
  • All reference materials and PDF assets included just like the online study.

  We highly recommend that you install and understand the functions of this software before making any question module purchases.  All question purchases and downloads are done directly through the software after it is installed on your computer.

  Unless you are running some type of Windows emulator, this software does not yet run on a Mac. I have had some good feedback from users who have tried various emulators with success.

Standalone Software Instructions

Instructions have now been combined into one pdf users manual. Download here.

 

There are free sample modules for Deck and Engine Room questions included in the installation to provide users with an example of how the downloads function.

To get started just click on the Enter Online Study link at the top of this page.

  If you are currently a user of the New Online Study, any downloads and purchases made through your old online study account can be rolled over to the new software based on the New Online Study Database. All you will need to do, after creating a new account, is send me an email with your old username and password and I will make the previously purchased modules available to download to the new testtaker software free of charge.

Thanks

Steve and Jaime
