SRC topics to check first
Most learners need repetition on distress priority, DSC follow-up, calling order, MMSI, channel discipline and spoken procedure.
- Mayday and Mayday Relay
- Pan-Pan and Securite
- DSC alerts and follow-up voice calls
Free Marine Radio SRC test and VHF practice
Check the radio decisions that matter before your SRC assessment: when to use Mayday, Pan-Pan, DSC, Channel 16, Channel 70 and routine working channels.
Free mixed diagnostic
Take the 10-question SRC test
No login is required. Feedback stays hidden until the final question, then each explanation points back to the relevant radio topic.
Exam conditions
You have 10 minutes. Answers are locked as you move forward and no correctness feedback is shown until the paper ends.
The resulting score is Compass Revision guidance, not an official RYA pass mark.
What free practice can do
Free questions help you catch dangerous misunderstandings early, especially confusing Channel 70 with a voice channel or using urgency language for a routine call.
What to revise next
After the free test, revise the full call structure and practise saying messages aloud. SRC knowledge becomes useful when you can use it under pressure.
