What do you want to know? If you are a member of a club, have you spoken with your Training Officer or D/O?

Exam is multiple choice and if you have done the lectures, read & understood the course material, you should breeze it.

Have a look at and try:

It follows the usual format of 30minutes to answer 30 questions with a pass mark of 80% (24 questions). The paper touches on all areas of the Sports diver course, worth revising are; tides, tables, personal skills, the buddy system, rescue techniques, gases under pressure, gas calculations. There are many others, some quite diverse, but always remember to read the question at least a couple of times as sometimes they could make the difference on whether you pass or not.

(Take a calculator also.)

Good luck

Read ALL the answers too. Don't just stop at the first one that seems correct.

Revise or expect to fail.

If you get the answer "all of the above" you can be fairly certain that's the correct one!

NO! You can't. Read the questions - thoroughly!

Sorry but yes you can. Just try it some time!

Also go through the online knowledge test on the website, it's exactly the same. I'm not saying blindly give that answer but in my experience (and everyone else at my club) "all of the above" is usually the correct answer.

You (and everyone else at your club) are incorrect. The student MUST read all the options very carefully for every question in the test. Bear in mind that there are several papers avaiable (and I have them all). I will not say what the correct answer to any particular question is, that's for the student to work out.

Hmmm. I don't know that throwing down a gauntlet such as that before one's instructors, TO and DO is necessarily the wisest course of action. The interactive site is there for practice, not assessment, so don't judge from that either.
