You mean more?

I remember when I took the couse, the workbook had plaenty of practice excercises. There are some in John Rousmaniere's book "The Annapolis Book of Sailing."Word of advice - on the test double and triple check your calculations. I did and found errors on both the first and second recheck. As a result of taking the extra time, I scored 100%. Without the triple checking I don't think I'd have passed.

Practice and 100%

100% is very impressive. Nonetheless, the workbook I have only has one or two sample questions. I need lots. I'm not taking the course - just reading the book and taking the test.A friend of mine took 7 hours to take the test. Another friend took 4.5 hours. Is it really that honerous?

Yes and no

I spent 2 hours the first time and another hour or more on my two rechecks. The book has all you need to pass. I missed one of the three classes and was no worse for the absence. It is more tedious than difficult.
