Independent practice platform
Timed simulations for maritime job candidates — a CES-style technical paper and an independent psychometric-style aptitude battery, with a Junior or Senior Officer CES level, pass/fail verdicts, per-section diagnostics, explanations for every missed answer and a concrete plan for what to practise next.
Independent self-study practice. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any cruise line, crewing agency or test publisher, and not a clinical or personality diagnostic.
The CES technical track comes at two levels — Junior Officer for foundation knowledge and identification, and Senior Officer for command and watchkeeping judgement. Each level has its own question pool, timing, pass criteria and final feedback.
Independent preparation material — foundation level
Nine sections of foundation-level maritime practice: navigation, cargo, stability, safety, watchkeeping, meteorology, ship construction, plus recognition of signs, shapes and signals and of safety equipment. The emphasis is on core definitions, identification from illustrations and routine watch and safety decisions.
Independent preparation material — command level
A substantially more demanding paper across the same nine sections, built around command and watchkeeping judgement: collision-avoidance application, restricted-visibility decisions, anchoring and dragging, stability and load line calculations, under keel clearance and turn planning, and fire, enclosed-space and abandonment leadership with explicit prioritisation.
Independent psychometric-style practice — cognitive & work-style
An original, non-proprietary practice battery across thirteen domains drawn from the broad international literature on cognitive assessment: general reasoning, matrix-style inductive reasoning, numerical flexibility and symbol calculation, 2D visualisation, 3D orientation and mental rotation, visual recognition and memory, working memory and sequence recall, selective attention, sustained attention and perceptual speed, reaction and response inhibition, multi-tasking capacity, rule switching and interference control, plus non-clinical work-style judgement. It is a self-study simulation — not an official Schuhfried / Vienna Test System assessment, not normed, and not a clinical, diagnostic or personality instrument.
A technical CES paper at Junior Officer and Senior Officer level across nine maritime subjects, plus an independent psychometric-style battery across thirteen cognitive and work-style domains.
Licence-safe schematic graphics drawn for this app: buoyage and cardinal marks, day shapes, light patterns, sound signals, extinguishers, lifesaving appliances, PPE, safety signage and bridge instruments — plus abstract grids, matrices and rotation sets in the aptitude track.
Timed papers with a live countdown, question navigator and auto-submit, so pacing becomes a trained skill.
See exactly how your result was produced: overall percentage, per-domain thresholds and every question you missed.
Every aptitude item, exercise and diagram was written for this app. Nothing is copied from, normed against or affiliated with any commercial test system, and none of it is diagnostic.
Questions are re-drawn and balanced across domains each time, so re-sits test ability rather than memory of order.
