Inland master to 2nd mate ocean crossover

Are those modules required for the Inland Master AGT? Looking at the Uscg checklists for both, on the 2nd mate it says no further testing, on the Inland AGT it mentions nothing about previous testing allowing no further examinations. I know a couple alumnus that have done the same raise in grade the last few years and I am pretty sure they studied and took the modules to get the inland master AGT. If you are getting some 1st mate time you might as well wait one more year and write the Great Lakes Master AGT in my opinion.
