Past-questions based exam preparation app.
Visit the website.
Most exam questions tend to follow a similar structure to past questions, and some teachers even repeat questions. However, after exams, students often discard their question papers, only to scramble for them when exams approach again.
I recall a moment during my 200-level studies when I overheard a group of students discussing how the structure of their current exam questions matched past questions. They mentioned the usefulness of apps for past JAMB or WAEC questions and wished for a mobile app that could provide easy access to past questions across various subjects.
Realizing this need, I saw an opportunity to create a solution. When the time came to choose a project for my ALX specializations phase, I decided to build a product that would make accessing past questions easier for students. This app aims to help students prepare effectively, ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed.
