Correcto-mundo, Jim. By definition, the average bearing by steering compass is the steering compass bearing. Therefore, any deviation from that bearing is, well, deviation! Note the irrelevance of variation to the problem. The USCG will sometimes throw in a variation number just to muddy the waters in this same question. It is extraneous. You can also see that the nature of the questions is such that they are not only pursuing problem solving skills but a demonstration of mastery of the underlying theory.
For a nickle, I'll bet you can't tell me where/whom dreams up these wonderful USCG license exam questions.(g)
