Common questions
Is Pathfinder prep open on Earnit Learning?
The practice bank is open and free to start: sling load, DZ/PZ operations, and air movement questions, each cited to the official reference it came from. The grounded AI coach and lifetime-access purchase are still in development.
What are the Pathfinder questions written against?
Official U.S. Army Pathfinder doctrine. Every question is grounded in a named official publication and carries its citation; we publish the full verified reference list on this page as authoritative current editions are confirmed.
Do I need an account to practice?
Not at first. You can answer questions free with no account; after that, a free account saves every answer and tracks your mastery by section.
