About this mock

Difficulty: Beginner

RYA Day Skipper Mock 8 revises position fixing with short scenarios, clear clues and close options. This round uses bearings, transits and plotting a reliable fix to check whether the learner can apply the topic in context. Each question keeps position fixing tied to a practical answer choice and a clear revision purpose. It keeps position fixing separate from broader mixed revision so progress is easier to judge.

Topics included

  • Compass variation for position fixing
  • VHF basics with bearings
  • Chartwork accuracy in short practice questions
  • Chart symbols using answer comparison
  • Tidal heights for revision confidence

Common mistakes in this mock

  • Using the wrong time for tide height when reading position fixing
  • Confusing give-way and stand-on duties before checking the clue
  • Missing a harbour pilotage clue in timed practice
  • Overlooking weather changes during planning while comparing close options

Who this mock is for

Prepared for revisers checking core sailing theory before more detailed passage work with a focus on position fixing.
