G-Quiz
In Africa, if you go around a 1st-grade classroom and ask the kids what they want to become when they grow up? Almost certainly 70% of them will say they’d want to become a doctor, lawyer, banker or businessman. Suppose you kept a record of the answers and ask them the same question 12 years later, almost certainly 70% of their answers will be different from the initial one. A lot of students lose their academic and professional dreams along the way. This is mainly due to the psychological impact of performing badly at milestone examinations like WASSCE, JAMB, UTME, GABECE, NECO etc.
G-Quiz is an academic quiz gaming app whose main aim is to encourage students to keep dreaming. To make sure nothing stands in between them and achieving their dreams. According to Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000-hour rule “to become world-class at anything you have to put in 10,000 hours of practice”. The app allows students to have access to practice an unlimited number of past questions and answers while enjoying its game-like features and rich user interface.
Most often, how well you do in life is associated with passing your exams. West Africa has a major problem of high rates in failure in High School Exams. There is a high percentage of high school graduates who feel they don't have a honest chance in life because of the fear of failing the exams. More than 35% of these students lose their hopes on educational and professional dreams due to poor performance on the WAEC, JAMB & NECO.
