AIGF exit exam MCQs — Advanced Training for Ships subject to the IGF Code

Free multiple-choice practice for the Advanced Training for Ships subject to the IGF Code (AIGF) exit exam — an STCW modular course, with the questions here set on the DG Shipping (India) exam pattern. Every question carries the reason behind its answer, and the whole bank is reshuffled between the sets whenever you ask — so you can never pass by remembering that the right one was third from the top.

How it works

  1. Pick a setEach set is a slice of the course bank, cut to the same size as the real paper. Start anywhere — nothing is locked.
  2. Answer the questionsTap an option and the answer is marked straight away, with the explanation shown there and then. You are revising while you attempt, not after.
  3. See where you standYour score is put against the real 15/30 pass mark (50%), and your best result is kept on each set card below.
  4. Reshuffle and go againTap Reshuffle sets to re-deal every question in the bank into new sets. The sets keep their sizes; their contents change completely, so the second run through is genuinely a second run.
  5. Phone and PCSign in with the same cryosim.com account on each device and your best score shows on every set card there. Signed out, scores stay in this browser only.

For instructors: run AIGF live in class

Turn these questions into a live class quiz in Slides. Students join with a code and answer on their phones, the answer and its explanation show when you reveal, and a class scoreboard closes it. The last slide sends the class back here to keep practising. Free, with a CryoSim sign-in.

A set is sent exactly as dealt on this device. Reshuffle above first if you want a different Set N. The deck is saved in your Slides under “DG Exit”; press 🔴 Go Live there to start the class.

Send this AIGF course to your batch

Revising with your course-mates? One tap drops the AIGF practice link into the batch WhatsApp group. For training institutes: it is free for the whole batch — each candidate practises on their own phone and keeps their own scores with a free sign-in (there is no instructor dashboard).

Before you start

Is the AIGF practice free?

Yes. Every set and the mock exam are free. Your first test each day needs no account; a free sign-in gives unlimited tests. There is no payment.

Do I need an account?

Not for your first test of the day. Signed out you can take one test a day (a set or the mock), with the full score sheet and marked review at the end. A free CryoSim sign-in with your Google account gives unlimited tests and saves your scores to the account instead of to this browser, so the phone you revise on at sea and the laptop you use ashore show the same progress. Sign in whenever you like — anything you have already done in this browser stays where it is.

Is this made or endorsed by DG Shipping?

No. CryoSim is independent. "DG Shipping pattern" describes the format the questions follow — multiple choice, marked out of 30 with 15 to pass — and nothing more. In India the real exit exam is DG Shipping's online paper of 30 questions in 30 minutes, sat at your training institute; the exit exam guide has the rules, fees and sources.

Can a training institute use this with a batch?

Yes, freely — there is nothing to buy. Send the course link to the batch (the WhatsApp button under the set picker does it in one tap) and each candidate practises on their own phone; each candidate sees their own score sheet, and a free sign-in keeps their scores. Scores stay with each candidate, in their own CryoSim account; there is no instructor dashboard. To run a set live in class, the Open in Slides box on each course page turns it into a class quiz in Slides, with a class scoreboard at the end. If you need to see a batch's results on your own question papers, Quizly runs named batch sessions. The DG Exit Exam overview for institutes shows how the sets, the mock and the answer keys work, and the step-by-step guide to DG Exit Exam walks a first-time candidate through it.

What exactly am I practising?

A bank of 468 multiple-choice questions written against the Advanced Training for Ships subject to the IGF Code (AIGF) STCW syllabus and set on the DG Shipping exam pattern, in a single consistent four-option format, with an explanation on every question. This is practice material, not the actual exam paper — no question here is claimed to be a real exam question, and passing every set is preparation for the exit exam rather than a substitute for the course.

How are the AIGF sets shuffled?

The unit that gets shuffled is the whole 468-question bank, not one set: reshuffling re-deals every question into new sets, so Set 3 keeps its size but becomes a different 30 questions. The four options are shuffled with it, which is why nobody can pass this by remembering that the right answer was third from the top.

What is the pass mark for the AIGF exit exam?

15 out of 30 — 50% — which is the mark every full-length set here is scored against. A short set (the tail of the bank) has no official mark, so the same 50% is applied to its own length, and the mock exam is marked out of 30 like the real paper.
