For sailors who want the next crow

Stop drowning in manuals. Start studying what actually makes the exam.

Makinrate is a personal tutor trained on the Bibliography for your rate and paygrade — so every answer points back to a real pub, not a mystery forum post.

Why sailors switch

Built around the BIB — not around a generic quiz bank

Your exam is not "Navy trivia." It is a specific set of publications for your rate. We start there and never pretend otherwise.

  • Scoped to your rate

    Pick your rating and paygrade. Study content is filtered to the pubs that show up on *your* cycle — not the whole library.

  • Chat that cites sources

    Ask like you would ask a sharp first class. Get answers with citations into the actual publications, so you can verify and dig deeper.

  • A plan that survives watch bills

    Short sessions. Resume where you left off. Progress that does not evaporate the week you pull midwatch.

  • Public pubs, honest limits

    We train on publicly available publications. When something is restricted, we say so — we don't invent coverage we don't have.

  • I stopped guessing which chapter mattered. Makinrate keeps me in the pubs that actually show up on the ET exam — and it tells me *where* it got the answer.

  • Flashcards were fine until they weren't. Having a tutor that knows my rate's BIB feels like studying with a sharp first class who has time for you.

  • Deployed, limited bandwidth, zero patience for another generic quiz app. Short sessions that still cite the manual? That's the product.
