Troubleshooting
"Studying offline: what works and what doesn't"
Updated 2026-08-21
Capital Prep keeps you studying through a flight or a dead zone — within honest limits. Here's exactly where the line is.
Works offline (paid passes):
- Downloaded question packs. Grab a pack while you're online (up to 30 questions per pack, up to 10 packs a day) and drill it anywhere — with real answer reveals and explanations. When you're back online, your answers sync automatically and are graded into your progress.
- Downloaded flashcards. Reviews you do offline sync back the same way.
- Highlights and notes you make while connected-then-disconnected are queued and sync when the connection returns.
Needs a connection:
- The study guide. Chapters are rendered per reader and aren't stored on your device.
- Audio narration — it streams.
- Mock exams — they're timed and server-scored, so they run online.
- Miles, search, and your live dashboard stats.
Practical tips
- Download your packs and open your flashcards before you board.
- If the app shows its offline screen, anything you downloaded is still there.
- Progress made offline can take a moment to appear in your stats after you reconnect — see "My progress or streak looks wrong" if something seems off.
The free trial doesn't include offline downloads — they come with any paid pass.
