EaseMySemester

A revision tool for first-year medical students, now on its second version. It narrows to the hour before the paper, answers every question out of nine textbooks with the page number attached, and charges nobody.

Problem
A question bank of past questions, reached on exam night with an hour left and no time to find the answers.
User
First-year MBBS students, one batch of roughly fifty.
Decision
Build for the hour before the paper, not the term. Exam night won, and most of v1's structure went with it.
Number
809 questions answered out of nine textbooks, each citing its book and pages. 82, or 10.1%, decline rather than guess, nearly all multi-part questions with one unsourced sub-part. Corpus or retrieval, I have not separated which.
Refused
No public signup, no ingestion pipeline, no paid tier. Loading PDFs stays an offline job I run myself.
  • 34 of ~50students in the batch moved to v2, with no marketing
  • 809questions answered from nine books, cited to the page

The full case study is about 10 minutes on how it was decided, measured, and where it can still fool me.
