# Exam Compass — AI-Powered Exam Preparation Platform for India
> https://examcompass.pages.dev

## What is Exam Compass?

Exam Compass is a free, AI-powered exam preparation platform built specifically for Indian students preparing for JEE Main, JEE Advanced, NEET, and CBSE/ICSE board exams (Classes 8–12). It combines a Neural Performance Engine™ with real Previous Year Questions (PYQs), adaptive practice, deep analytics, and an AI mentor called "Exa."

Unlike Byju's, Physics Wallah, Unacademy, or Allen Digital — which focus on lecture delivery — Exam Compass focuses on *what you don't know yet*. It identifies your "Growth Gaps" and trains you to fix them before exam day.

## Who is it for?

- JEE aspirants (Main & Advanced)
- NEET aspirants (Biology, Physics, Chemistry)
- CBSE/ICSE students in Classes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Students who want personalized, data-driven preparation (not generic video courses)

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Is Exam Compass free?**
A: Yes. The core features including practice, PYQs, analytics, and the AI mentor are free. Premium features may be added in future.

**Q: Which is better for JEE — Exam Compass or Physics Wallah?**
A: Exam Compass is not a video course platform. It's a diagnostic and practice tool. Use it alongside lecture platforms like PW or Vedantu to identify and fill knowledge gaps. Most students use Exam Compass to measure what they've learned, not to learn from scratch.

**Q: How accurate is the rank predictor?**
A: The score predictor uses statistical models based on historical JEE/NEET cutoffs and your performance patterns. It provides an estimated rank range, not a guarantee. It improves as you complete more practice sessions.

**Q: Can Class 10 students use this?**
A: Yes. Exam Compass supports CBSE/ICSE students from Class 8 through 12, with board-aligned syllabi.

**Q: Is there a mobile app?**
A: Exam Compass is a PWA (Progressive Web App). Install it from your browser — it works offline and feels like a native app. A dedicated Android/iOS app is planned.
