NVT...

NH has kept up just fine with technology... the issue is that cheating on the internet test abounds... it is essentially an open book test. With a proctored exam you can be sure that the "cheating" while not eliminated, is surely kept to a minimum.

The law doesn't go into effect until Jan 01, 2007 so you still have time to take the internet test. Its really only going to effect the oldest boaters who haven't yet tested and newbie boaters. There is no provision in the law to make those who have taken the exam on the internet re-take the exam. Once the the law goes into effect you can still get all of the material online, but you will be required to have a proctored exam.
