which they are unfamiliar then scores must reflect factors other than subject<br />
knowledge.<br />

1500 MCQ pool contributed by METS and maritime administrations.<br />
• Method: 44 individual tests completed by 930 mariner and novice study test<br />
subjects from N America, Europe, Asia and the Subcontinent. Mariner and<br />
novice scores are compared.<br />
