What you get

Built for this rate — not “the Navy” in general

  • Scoped to the OS Bibliography for E-5

    Your exam is not the same as the rating next to you. Scope is the whole product.

  • Cited answers into the pubs — not mystery flashcards

    If an answer cannot point at a publication, it is not ready for exam day.

  • Sessions you can finish between watches

    Fifteen focused minutes beat a guilt pile of PDFs you never open.

  • Official Bibliography as your study map

    The official Bibliography is the map. We tutor from it.

Study from the real Bibliography

Makinrate tutors Operations Specialist sailors for the E-5 exam using the publications on the official BIB. Start free on the first entry, then walk the list line by line — tutor on the side.
