Captain Mike's OUPV Prep

2,282 Rules of the Road questions, adaptive learning, and timed practice exams — built to help you clear the 90% pass threshold on the USCG exam's toughest section.

Captain Mike's OUPV Prep is the most thorough Rules of the Road study app for anyone preparing for the USCG OUPV (six-pack) Captain's License or any USCG deck-license exam.

FOCUSED ON RULES OF THE ROAD This app covers the Rules of the Road portion of the USCG exam in depth — Inland and International (COLREGS). It does not cover Deck General, Navigation General, or Chart Plotting. Rules of the Road is the section most candidates fail first, and the only USCG section that requires a 90% score to pass.

WHY OUPV PREP STANDS OUT • 2,282 questions across all 11 Rules of the Road categories — the deepest Rules-only bank on the App Store • Adaptive learning that focuses your time on the questions you miss • Spaced-repetition Smart Review based on the proven SM-2 algorithm — the same approach used by leading flashcard apps • Realistic timed practice exams (25, 50, or 100 questions) that mirror the USCG exam format with the 90% pass threshold • Visual quick-reference guides for navigation lights, sound signals, day shapes, vessel hierarchy, and distress signals

CATEGORIES COVERED • Navigation Lights • Steering & Sailing Rules • Sound Signals • General Rules • Vessel Hierarchy • Inland vs. International Differences • Day Shapes • Restricted Visibility • Risk of Collision • Safe Speed • Distress Signals
