Also, I want to upgrade to 1600 master and I believe I need to take the whole exam ( there is no limited exam for this upgrade), with the hope of eventually getting a 3/M unlimited.

Master Of 1600 Gross Tons To Third Mate.
46 CFR 10.407© provides for a master with a 1600 gross ton license to qualify for third
mate any gross tons by showing one year as master of vessels over 200 gross tons. Section
10.402(b) states that an applicant qualifying for third mate under this section shall have a
tonnage limitation placed on the license based on the applicant’s qualifying experience.
This may help you later down the road…
