Inspiration

In school, we found that upon receiving a test back, oftentimes students simply look at what grade they achieved, without spending sufficient time on reflecting on their mistakes and improving upon them. This leads to a very common situation where students who want to achieve higher academically inadvertently avoid flaws that have already been pointed out to them in their errors. This continued neglect leads them to continue to make the same mistakes and thus fail to achieve their goal of higher academic achievement.

What it does

We believe that the biggest barrier to performing reflection is the time commitment. It is not easy to allocate the time to review a completed assessment, especially in busy programs such as IB and AP. Thus, ReTest aims to remedy this by making test review and analysis extremely accessible and straightforward. With just a click of a button from your smartphone, you are able to take photos of your test and obtain an automated analysis on your responses. These photos can then be saved into folders to organize assessments by topic, alongside any analytical responses. This allows users to go back and review their previous mistakes and see visible improvement over time.

How we built it

We built the app using React-Native with Expo, leveraging Anthropic APIs for our analysis functionality.

Challenges we ran into

A key module, being the react-native-document-scanner-plugin, ended up being incompatible with our tech stack, so we had to adapt around not using it. We had spent a lot of time on learning React Native as well, since we were not very familiar with the technology.
