Not a stack of flashcards — a full rehearsal for the room you'll actually be in.

AI practice coaching

Get an educational rubric estimate, what worked, what was missing, and specific ideas for your next rehearsal.

Answer out loud

Five-question mock boards

Run a fresh mixed set, draft or speak each response, self-rate it, and save the result to your practice progress.

Compare your response with a complete model approach, focus dimensions, key points, and common pitfalls.

Progress that follows you

Keep your ratings, answer notes, target-department personalization, and coverage progress on your device and signed-in account.

Why I built this

I built Badge to Bugles while preparing for my own Lieutenant board. I wanted realistic reps — not a quiz app — so I made the tool I wished I had: varied practice questions, spoken rehearsal, and candid coaching that helps me tighten the next answer.
