Know exactly what the surveyor wants to hear
Sit your orals and writtens against a model answer — deck and engine, 2nd Mate to Master, MEO Class 4 to Chief Engineer. Every past question, ranked by what surveyors are actually asking this sitting.
The answer the surveyor is waiting to hear
Ask it the way the panel will. SailR comes back with a Gold Standard answer — the spoken answer that earns the function, the exact phrases the surveyor is listening for marked out, then the follow-up they’d put to you next.
- A Gold Standard answer, phrased the way you’d give it across the table
- Follow-ups adapt to your rank and the function you’re sitting
- Names the M-Notice, SOLAS or MARPOL reg behind the answer
Written answers, built the way they’re marked
Drop in a past written question. SailR builds the answer section by section — introduction, then each part — to the standard the board scores against, not a loose summary.
- Structured the way an examiner marks: introduction, Part A, Part B
- Describes the sketch where the question expects a diagram
- Phase I and Phase II, deck and engine
Study the surveyors you might actually face
Candidates log what they were asked the day they walk out. That builds a picture of the surveyors who examine your class — the topics each one leans on, and the questions he puts to candidate after candidate. Tick the ones who might take your oral and practise what all of them ask.
- What each surveyor asks most, with how many times he has asked it
- Tick several — at an MMD you don’t know which one you’ll get
- Nothing is pre-picked: you choose every question in your set
Every past question — and a plan built from them
Browse any subject across both departments by paper, by what keeps repeating, or by what has just appeared. In Engineering Management alone that is 861 questions, 83% of which have been asked more than once. Pick the slice you want and SailR paces it to your exam date.
- Filter by paper, year and month — or by how often a question comes back
- Turn any slice into a study plan, paced to the date you’re sitting
- New questions added each month as fresh papers land
Both exams, one place, paced to your date
Your written plan and your oral plan sit side by side, each paced to the day you’re sitting. Underneath them are the three you can ask, everything you’ve saved, and whatever you were last working on — so opening the app never starts with deciding what to do.
- A written plan and an oral plan, both paced to your exam date
- Bookmark any answer to a revision board for later
- Picks up where you left off, sitting after sitting

Questions, before you sit
What is SailR?
SailR is AI exam prep for seafarers sitting Certificate of Competency exams. It answers oral and written questions to the standard a surveyor expects, cites the regulation it is quoting, and ranks past questions by how likely they are to be asked.
Is there an AI for MMD or CoC exam preparation?
SailR is one — purpose-built for Certificate of Competency orals and writtens, deck and engine, not a general chatbot. It answers to the standard a surveyor expects and names the M-Notice or regulation behind each answer, so you can check the source instead of trusting a black box. Past questions are ranked by how likely each is to come up this sitting. Answers are drafted by AI — cross-check the latest circular before your sitting.
Which exams does SailR cover?
Both departments and every class. Deck: 2nd Mate FG, Chief Mate and Master. Engine: MEO Class 4, MEO Class 2, MEO Class 1 and ETO. Coverage follows the STCW syllabus, with the deepest depth today on the Indian MMD (DGS) functions and orals.
Does SailR cover the engine room as well as the bridge?
Yes. Stability, collision regs and chartwork sit next to thermodynamics, electrical and engine-room troubleshooting. Half the audience is engineers, and the question bank is balanced across both ladders.
How does the Oral Examiner work?
You sit a realistic oral and get a model answer back — the points the surveyor is listening for, in the order they ask them. Follow-up questions adapt to your rank and to the function you are booking.
Are the answers reliable?
Each answer points to the M-Notice, regulation or convention it draws from, so you can check the source rather than trust a black box. Answers are drafted by AI and should be cross-checked against the latest circular before your sitting.
How many questions are in the bank?
Thousands of curated past questions across both departments, organised by subject and function and ranked by how often each has come up in recent sittings — with the newest sitting’s paper added every month.
