Ditch your spreadsheets!

This tool fixes all the gripes from all those garbage RoR study methods. Delete your Shellback app. Gone are the days of generating your own tests from that excel spreadsheet surfnav sends out before the course. Get real feedback immediately on those dumb “lights on moored barges” questions. Make yourself board-ready with timed tests, and rest easy knowing you can tell the difference between an LCAC and a barge being towed on the hip. If this isn’t an official navy endorsed product, it should be!

BEST ROR APP EVER USED

Most innovative ROR app on the market! The adaptive quiz mode has helped me identify my weak spots, and the board mode has kept me board ready for monthly exams!!

Finally a ROR app for mariners

First ROR app that doesn’t seem like a 2012 screen capture of a terrible COLREGS PowerPoint. Intuitive and user friendly. A must for SWOs or professionals of the maritime profession!
