THESE QUESTIONS WERE TAKEN FROM A
COMPILATION OF DIFFERENT RESOURCES, ALL OF
WHICH USED ACTUAL TEST QUESTIONS RELEASED
FROM THE INSTITUTE.
ANOTHER EXTREMELY VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR TEST QUESTIONS IS THE BLUE
“COMMAND AND OPERATIONS SCHOOL” NAVRULES/DWO STUDY GUIDE. IT HAS
OVER 1250 ACTUAL TEST QUESTIONS GROUPED BY RULE SO YOU CAN SEE
SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS THEY ASK THE SAME QUESTION PERTAINING TO THE
SAME RULE. IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOUR WEAK
AREAS ARE. ALL COs AND OICs SHOULD HAVE A COPY, IF NOT ASK YOUR ESO TO
SEE IF THEY CAN GET ONE FROM THE SCHOOL (LOCATED AT THE ACADEMY).
GOOD LUCK!
