Our experience is that everyone who devotes reasonable time and effort to the 3-step process passes the exam\, often easily. \nLet us know if you would like additional tutoring or clarification on any topic. Proctors are available from 6:30PM before each class for individual assistance. If you miss a class\, be sure to keep up with the reading and homework\, and ask a proctor for the homework answers. \nboating is fun . . . let’s do it together© \nhttps://americasboatingclubcapecod.org \n  \n
