Section drills, progression sprints, and an explanation on every answer.
Read full description
Fineology is the original promotion-exam prep. We pioneered this way of studying 14 years ago, and we have spent every exam since refining it.
It is built on one idea: you learn more from the question you got wrong than from the one you got right. So every question carries a written explanation - why the right answer is right, and why each of the other three is wrong - and every miss lands in a study list you can actually work.
Over 1,700 Sergeant's questions drawn from the Patrol Guide and Administrative Guide, with more added through the season.
SIX WAYS TO STUDY
- Full Exam - 100 questions on the clock, three hours, the way the real test runs.
- Progression Sprint - five questions from one section, easy to hard, so a weak topic gets built up instead of just tested.
- Target Sections - drill only your weakest Patrol Guide and Administrative Guide topics.
- Quiz Length - 1, 5, or 10 random questions when that is all the time you have.
- Quick Question - one random question, right now.
- Question of the Day - a new question every morning, and a streak worth keeping.
WHAT YOU GET BACK
- A written explanation on every question, covering all four choices - not an answer key.
- Your misses gathered into a study list at the end of every run.
- Your weakest sections ranked from your own answers, so you know what to drill next.
- Exam History - scores, accuracy and streaks over time, so you see the trend and not just today's number.
- Acronyms + Extras - a reference glossary for the alphabet soup.
DETAILS THAT MATTER ON A LATE TOUR
- Night Watch - a deep red night mode that will not wreck your night vision at 0300.
- A four-function calculator right on the Mathematics questions, the same kind the testing centre provides.
- Everything works offline once the questions have downloaded.
