Passing Percentage Requirements for Master's Certification
What is the final exam like for the Master's course?
The Master's final exam is broken down into the OUPV and Master's Upgrade. You will complete both courses and both final exams. Together, they equal the Master's written requirement right off the bat. The OUPV test has four modules: Rules of the Road, Plotting, Navigation, and Deck General. The Master's Upgrade is a single module.
