BoardReady turns Army promotion board prep into something you'll actually stick with — real regulation citations, quizzes that reshuffle every time, and flashcards that update live so you're never studying last year's answers. EVERY ANSWER CITED Every card points to the actual AR, DA Pam, TC, or FM it comes from — Army Values, Customs & Courtesies, Drill & Ceremony, Uniform & Appearance, and more. No guessing where an answer came from. QUIZ MODE Multiple-choice quizzes pulled from the full card bank. Questions and answer order reshuffle every attempt, so you're learning the material — not memorizing a sequence. FLASHCARDS Swipe through citation-backed flashcards, tap to flip, and track what you've mastered right from the Ready dashboard. BUILD YOUR OWN Add your own custom study guides and personal quiz cards — stored on your device, mixed right into quiz rotation alongside the official library. WORKS OFFLINE Once synced, your content is available with no connection — study in the field, the barracks, or anywhere else. ONE PAYMENT, EVERYTHING UNLOCKED A single $5.99 purchase unlocks every category for good. No subscription, no ads, no recurring charge. Your first category and anything you add yourself are always free. BoardReady is an independent study aid built from published Army references. Always confirm current guidance with your unit before a real board.
