NSW Boat & PWC Licence Test

Prepare for the NSW boat licence knowledge test with focused, offline study you can do anywhere. This NSW boat licence practice app turns the state's own marine law and the international collision rules into clear practice questions, full mock sittings and flashcards, so you walk into the knowledge test ready.

WHAT THIS COVERS
In NSW the boat licence knowledge test is 50 multiple-choice questions in two sections: a general section you pass with 24 of 30, and a critical-safety section where every one of the 20 questions must be correct. Every question and flashcard is written from publicly available NSW marine law: the Marine Safety Act 1998 (NSW), the Marine Safety (General) Regulation 2016 (NSW), and the international rules for preventing collisions at sea (COLREGs) with the IALA Region A buoyage system. Each one is checked against the exact provision it tests.

- 511 boat and PWC licence practice questions, every one explained
- 501 flashcards for the rules, distances and signals you must know cold
- Over 1,000 study items in total
- Realistic 50-question timed mock sittings
- Weak-area review that resurfaces exactly what you keep missing
- A readiness score for each of the five topic areas

A REALISTIC MOCK TEST
Our mock draws a fresh 50 questions across all five topics on a 60-minute timer, so practice feels like the real knowledge test rather than a quiz.

THE FIVE TOPIC AREAS
- Licensing and boating law
- Navigation and right of way (COLREGs)
- Markers, buoys, lights and signals
- Safety equipment and lifejackets
- Emergencies and personal watercraft (jet ski) rules

ABOUT THE JET SKI (PWC) LICENCE
Operating a personal watercraft such as a jet ski needs a separate PWC licence in NSW, whose knowledge test is 15 questions with a pass mark of 12 of 15. This app covers both the boat licence and PWC knowledge, so you can prepare for either.
