On a post titled "Questions about taking the Second Mate Exam" CAK212 asked:
I am scheduled to the take the 2nd mate exam in a week and have been playing phone tag with the Coast Guard ( imagine that!). I wanted to find out how many days the exam is , how many exams there are and what order they might be in. Also I have a 15 month that I need to care for so I need to know if there is a break between exams so my husband can bring him over to the exam center. Aslo if anyone has any advise on how to best prepare for the exam I would appreciate it.
