How this topic is examined
The bank splits STCW Overview across 0 recall questions, 0 applied questions and 0 harder judgement questions. Recall gets you the marks you cannot afford to drop; the applied and judgement questions are where candidates lose the exam. Work the recall until it is automatic, then spend your time on the rest.
Practise this properly
Reading is not revision. Answer questions, get them wrong, read the explanation and meet them again. Amidships tracks readiness topic by topic so you know where you stand.
