Lapware, sample exams on the NMC website. Weirdly similar. Test structure/ category of question the same. Just took it ---

Have you taken a test in the last year? Usually you would have to take Rules of the Road too. ---

> [@chumbucket](#): > > Lapware, sample exams on the NMC website. Weirdly similar. I assume this is sarcasm as there is nothing weird about it. Lapware doesn’t create its content (i.e. write questions). Its utility is presenting the questions as you might encounter them for a specific exam. ---

> [@Tugboater203](#): > > Have you taken a test in the last year? Usually you would have to take Rules of the Road too. That was an unwritten policy at some RECs before the centralized NMC. It no longer applies. You get what ever the [NMC exam guide](https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/NMC/pdfs/examinations/deck_engineering_guide_as_of_3_24_14.pdf) says, no rules module unless it’s noted in the guide for the specific exam/license transaction. For getting Master 1600 at the same time as 2nd Mate, ther’s no rules exam, see page 15 of the NMC guide. ---

I know lapware does not create its questions. I meant the test that I took was almost the same as a combination of sample exams via NMC
