    Tips

    Start reading M notices esp. ones for you ship type.


    Learn the terms and fraises used in the M notices
    Dont neglect the ROR keep reading through them.
    Get in groups and get talking, practice explaining stuff and emergency
    situations. (Made it far easier in the exam). Its not about looking

    stupid if you dont know something.


    Read the college notes, condense the information and learn it.

    Thank you to all the lectures at Shields and to the rest of the class
