Flash Marine Cards will help you be the best captain possible! We offer several different decks, each containing between 35 and 50 cards, covering a variety of subjects that every aspiring captain needs to know. Our cards will help you study for your exams and, once you’ve passed, make a great refresher once you’re out at sea. The application has two primary modes:
Mode 1 - Study Mode
Just like traditional flash cards, in Study Mode you’ll move through a series of cards that present specific situations and their answers. When you think you’ve got it, press the “information” button to flip the card over and see if you were right! If you’re having trouble with a card, it can be flagged to come back and review later. To see how you’re improving, a built-in timer keeps track of how long you’ve spent on each card, and on the deck as a whole. When you feel confident in your performance, you can move onto the next mode!
Mode 2 - Quiz Mode
In Quiz Mode, you’ll be tested on the deck of your choice and will get a “report card” containing your results. There are two types quizzes to choose from:
Image Quiz: You’ll be given a text description and must choose the correct answer from a panel of images.
Text Quiz: You’ll be given a graphical rendering of a situation and must choose the text-based answer that best fits.
Mode 3 - Exam Mode
In Exam Mode, you’ll be tested on cards chosen at random from all of your decks and once youre done youll get a “report card” containing your results.
If you don’t do as well as you’d like in either Quiz or Exam mode, don’t worry! You can take both of them as many times as you’d like. Just like Study mode, Exam and Quiz Mode keeps track of the time you’ve spent so you can analyze your performance.
Best of luck!
