Use mock exams late in your revision
A mock exam is most useful once you have worked through the main syllabus. It tests switching between topics, which is harder than answering a set of questions from one module.
Treat the result as a map
The score matters, but the breakdown matters more. If the mock shows weak marks in tides or COLREGs, go back to those modules and practice before taking another run.
Reduce exam-day surprise
Timed mixed practice helps with pacing, reading questions carefully, and spotting the small details that often decide the answer.
Use answers as feedback, not shortcuts
Every explanation is there to show the rule, calculation, or decision behind the answer. That is more useful than memorising a set of answer keys.

Common questions
How many questions are in the mock exam?
The app uses a 30-question mixed mock exam drawn from the module question bank.
Does the mock exam replace the RYA exam?
No. It is independent revision practice. The real assessment must be taken through the proper RYA route.
What score should I aim for?
Use the mock as a readiness check. Aiming well above the pass boundary gives a better margin before the real assessment.
Are these RYA Day Skipper exam answers?
No. The mock uses independent revision questions and explanations. It is designed for practice, not as an official answer sheet or replacement for recognised assessment.
