Our 2026 Captain Exam Course launches this mid-March — stay tuned for full details! You can visit us at www.RisingStarPromotion.com for updates. Proven. Trusted. Top of the List — Since 2006
No worries. Ed & I are actively working to bring you all the very best questions found anywhere. As you know, they're specifically designed to be challenging in a way that induces learning & memorization (others will tell you that there is a method to our madness). After the months of studying have concluded, your promotion rests upon your ability to correctly answer 100 multiple choice questions....why chance it with inaccurate or poorly designed questions intended to make you feel good with a false sense of confidence? Rising Star takes the opposite approach to ensure your readiness and since 2006, our students have consistently placed at the top of all promotional lists because of our questions. We look forward to getting you promoted! More to come soon.....
Tony

Please make the questions so that we can re-take them as needed. Been a loyal fan of your questions but after the Lt. exam questions and getting stuck only being able to test myself once really made me re-think my subscription for this exam. The main thing for me and i can probably speak for most is the ability to test our knowledge continuously.
My testing days are long over. I'm an Elite guy but for the aspiring Captains do yourself a favor and order the Rising Star package as soon as Tony & Ed release it! In addition to Elite, I ordered the Rising Star package as well. Rising Star saved me on the Lt & Capt Exam and is the difference maker in being at the top of the list or the bottom of the list. Look at it as an investment but also as an insurance policy in case things go sideways with a poorly written DCAS exam. Hopefully you guys get a fair exam but with DCAS in charge...who knows! Leave no stone unturned and may the force be with you! 9 heroes forever!
Details for our 2026 Captain course will be released in the next few weeks. While the official test date has not yet been announced, we expect it to take place in September or later.
The course is anticipated to begin in mid-March, giving you approximately six months or more to prepare. This is plenty of time — pace yourself and don’t burn out!
Course information will be posted here and on our website.
