Inspiration

Entry test preparation is a huge hassle in Pakistan where students pay tens of thousands of rupees to sit in overcrowded classes to cram for a couple of months before the exams. Also, this opportunity is not available to students in far flung areas who can not afford to spend months in major cities.

We created an app where students can prepare for entrance exams using their mobile phones.

What it does

We enter multiple choice questions into the system and the students can practice those question. If someone does not understand a question, the can flag the question and other users of the app will be notified of that question. Other students can then provided explanations to those questions. These explanations can be voted upon by other users to maintain quality.

How we built it

We made a RESTful system where the app sent requests to our server where the questions and explanations are stored. This way a central database of questions and explanations can be maintained on our serverwithout much hassle.

The app (i.e. the user end) is made in Android. While the backbone of the app is made in PHP using MySQL as the database solution.

Challenges we ran into
