Good, but...

Good course - but having to wait for the clock in each section was somewhat tiresome.
Easy to access & step through. Good to be able to get California Boater's Card at its conclusion.

Excellent course

Excellent course. Straightforward content and questions. It easily prepared an individual to pass the boaters license exam.

Permanently turn off Tawk

The material, quizzes and practice exam were great, no problems there. The main problem is your Tawk/chat widget on your site! I had to cancel out of it every time I returned to the site to continue the materials. Worse it flashed text in the title bar of my browser until I X-ed it out. Super distracting, with no ability to permanently shut the Tawk/chat widget off (with a cookie or settings, etc.). I almost switched to another Cal Boat card exam provider because of it.

This course was ideal for me

This course was ideal for me. I am 74 years old and it is more difficult for me to retain what I read in detail. This course allowed me to go back to any part that I was not sure of. I passed the final test on the first attempt, however I could have retaken the test as many times as necessary to pass.

Good course but with mistakes

The course is good. However, it contains a noticeable amount of spelling mistakes and some of the quiz questions are hard to answer / misleading. For example: "Why is it important to balance the load evenly when towing your boat?". The correct answer is: "Too much weight in one area can cause steering difficult".
