My nephew has his Brevet exam in June — France's national middle school exam. He revises with paper flashcards, forgets everything in two days, and would rather watch YouTube shorts than re-read his math notes. Classic situation. I wanted to build him something motivating — not yet another revision PDF, but something that feels more like a game than homework. The result: an interactive quiz platform covering math, physics-chemistry and biology, from 6th to 9th grade.
React on the front, zero backend (localStorage), and way more work on gamification and accessibility than on the code itself.
The problem with existing quiz tools
There are dozens of Brevet revision tools online. But most share the same flaws: identical questions every time, no progress visualization, and a UX that makes you want to close the tab. A 14-year-old isn't going to stick around on a page that looks like a government form. They need instant feedback, rewards, and the feeling of making progress.
The other problem is that most quizzes treat all questions equally. A trigonometry exercise (coefficient 3 in the Brevet) weighs the same as a basic arithmetic question. A student can score 15/20 on the quiz and still bomb the exam because their gaps were concentrated in the highest-weighted domains.
