Public Job Exam Study App

An app for studying for public job exams in a specific territory. It aggregates questions from past exams that are made public afterwards into a question database, and offers several test types: per-topic tests, a real exam simulacrum, and an algorithm that tells the user what to study. The app's foundation is currently being rebuilt.

    “This is an app to study for public job exams in a specific territory. Infamously topics are public but their content is not. He found a way to agregate from exams that are made public afterwards, and found sufficient overlapping to slowly build a db of questions and several types of tests: per topic, real exam simulacrum, an algo that tells you what to study, etc.”
