My oral was scheduled on 25th June 2020 at 1000 hrs. I called up MCA at 0950 hrs
10 mins prior to scheduled time by clicking on the link provided to me through the
invitation link. Surveyor came on the other side. She asked me not to
use the ear phone and directly use the speaker device. She told me to join her after
10 mins 1000 hrs. She shared with me her desktop screen and made me familiar
with MCA oral policy, cheating policy and also asked me to rotate laptop 360
degrees. She placed me on a tanker vessel and started orals

Explain Rule 9. Overtaking Situation
RV situation
There was a vessel on starboard side abaft of my beam and another vessel on
port bow. There was no Risk of collision with the port bow vessel and risk of
collision with Stbd Abaft vessel so I took action to alter course to Port side. Later
she asked me to draw it on the Radar plotting sheet and show her.
She said your oral exam is over and asked me to call her back after 5 mins using
the same link and when I called her she said you have PASSED the Oral exam.
