Yachtmaster theory exam practice: free mini mock

It forces you to switch between chartwork, tides, COLREGs, weather, pilotage, and passage planning without being told which topic is coming next.

Common questions
Does the mock exam replace the RYA assessment?
No. It is independent revision practice and does not award an RYA certificate.
How long is the recognised Yachtmaster theory course?
The RYA currently describes the Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore Theory course as 40 hours plus exam time. Compass is a separate revision companion and does not shorten, deliver, or certify that recognised course.
Should I aim for a pass boundary?
Use a comfortable margin. Advanced theory can punish small method errors, especially in tides, CTS, and passage-making questions.
Are these RYA exam answers?
No. The mock uses independent revision questions and explanations, not official answers or leaked papers.
