UPDATE 11/14/2012: All questions are now up to date! If you experience any problems please leave a message in the "help" forum!
UPDATE 10/24/2012: We are in the final stages of sorting through all the deck & engine questions. After that is complete, we will have to do some trial tests to make sure everything is working. Expect to see the updated questions in early November.
The U.S. Coast Guard has re-released their question bank and we are in the process of filtering through to find which questions were removed and which questions were updated. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard ID's to the questions do not match anymore which makes this entire process even more difficult... I will continue to post updates in the forums once the shift to the new questions have been updated.
Besides the updated questions, we have been making a lot of changes to USCGQ over the past couple months. Below is a list of features we have added and a lit of features that will be added come 2013. If you would like to help, please submit any suggestions below!
Also, I know a few of you are asking for a mobile app. I've looked into it and we don't have the funds to implement such a project. The alternative to this will be to charge members a monthly fee for several months. And even then, we aren't sure if it would cover the expenses of development.
