    This document contains instructions for a chart work exam with 6 questions. Question 1 asks students to plot 5 positions on a chart and find the course and distance between them. Question 2 asks students to plot 2 positions given their range and bearing from reference points and find the latitude and longitude. Question 3 asks students to calculate compass course and true course given variation, deviation and one course. Question 4 and 5 ask students to write short notes about Mercator projections and cardinal buoyage systems. Question 6 asks students to sketch and label terms related to the effects of ocean currents on a vessel's position.
