Client problem
Students needed a fast, mobile-friendly way to practice exams, track progress, and revise weak topics with a clean, distraction-free UI.
Solution
We built a Next.js-based practice platform with organized question sets, timed practice flows, and progress tracking to support consistent preparation.
What we built
- Topic-wise question sets with filters
- Timed practice mode and review
- Progress tracking and performance summary
- Bookmarks / saved questions
- Admin-ready structure for adding new tests
Key modules
- Questions: sets, difficulty, tagging
- Practice: timer, attempt history, review
- Progress: topic performance and summaries
- Saved: bookmarks and quick revision
- Admin: add/edit question sets (extensible)
How it was built
- Designed a clear information hierarchy so students can find tests quickly.
- Built reusable UI components for question rendering and navigation.
- Focused on performance so switching questions stays instant.
- Kept the structure extensible for new exams, topics, and features.
Challenges
- Keeping the UI minimal while still supporting review and tracking.
- Making the practice flow smooth on mobile devices.
- Designing a structure that scales with more questions and tests.
Quality & release
- Manual QA of practice flows (timer, review, navigation).
- Basic performance checks for smooth mobile interaction.
- Release checklist to ensure content and UI remain consistent.
Architecture
- Next.js app structured around reusable modules and clean routing.
- Clear separation between UI presentation and practice flow logic.
- Data model designed to scale with more tests and topics.
Key decisions
- Kept UI minimal to reduce distraction and improve completion.
- Reusable components so new exams can be added quickly.
- Mobile-first layouts to make practice comfortable on small screens.
Scalability considerations
- Ready to add more question banks and exams without rewriting UI.
- Supports growth in content with consistent tagging and filtering.
- Designed for incremental additions (leaderboards, subscriptions, analytics).
Outcome
- Smooth practice experience on mobile
- Clear progress visibility
- Faster revision loops
