Start from your situation rather than opening another generic list. Every route below leads to useful no-login teaching, practice or a source-reviewed guide; shared navigation tools keep one canonical home on Compass Revision.
What do you need right now?
I have a practical next week
Refresh pilotage, buoyage, tides, weather and crew preparation without pretending revision replaces training afloat.
I am weak on tides
Rebuild the method in the tides module, then use fictional practice data with worked feedback.
I need question practice
Use a balanced diagnostic first, then move from weak-topic questions into mixed mock conditions.
I want a quick refresher
Use the two-week checklist as a route chooser and shorten each day to the topics that are no longer secure.
Browse by resource type
Test and practice
No-login diagnostic, practice questions and independent mock preparation.

Optional printable
Day Skipper practical prep checklist
