Easiest way is to take a course, two evenings and a third evening to write the test. I challenged it because I was not able to get to the course and I spent a lot more time studying on my own than the course would have taken me.
Contact the local Power Squadron. There is a course starting June 1 in Qualicum Beach, with the test on June 8. Let me know if you would like details.
The cost of a course is in the $80 to $90 range. If you challenge the course, the material for studying is about $25 and the test and certification is about another $25. Prices I've given are approximate.
