I know. Most sailboat owners only have the SRC - short range certificate.
Once I make it through the ham radio exam (I will probably have to repeat the technical part
), the LRC (Long Range Certificate) is next on my list.
Not sure about the commercial license you are talking about.
The GOC (General Operator's Certificate) and ROC are reserved for professional seamen (at least here in Germany).

What country has you answer 1,000 questions? It's been a long time since I took mine and maybe things have changed, but is it possible you have a book with 1,000 practice questions in it? I seem to recall there are just a few dozen questions for each level.

It's 468 questions about rules and regulations and 1061 technical questions. Of course, you don't have to answer all those question in the exam. The exam will be around 110 questions, I think.
The country is Germany and the ham radio guys are obviously all nuts here (because they built this huge catalogue of questions). Some of the questions can be solved with elimination, a bunch of them were designed to be hard to learn by heart, though.
At least you know all the question beforehand and there is software available that makes the preparation easier.
