Problem
Students preparing for Italian university admission tests face high costs for traditional prep courses, which start at €800 and can exceed €3,000, while receiving rigid, one-size-fits-all programs that don't adapt to individual learning needs. Limited simulation opportunities and lack of personalized feedback leave students uncertain about their actual readiness and unable to identify knowledge gaps before exam day.
Solution
TestBuddy provides an AI-driven test preparation platform that combines unlimited practice simulations, comprehensive theory content, and a personalized AI coach in a single application. The platform's intelligent system analyzes each student's performance through a proprietary TB Score™, which estimates the score they would achieve on the actual test based on their real preparation level across individual subjects. An adaptive study calendar automatically adjusts to the student's progress and available study time, redistributing tasks when days are missed. The AI assistant Buddy answers questions and clarifies doubts in real time, while detailed explanations accompany every question to reinforce learning.
Target Audience
Primary users are Italian students preparing for university admission tests, including medicine, veterinary science, healthcare professions, TOLC exams, private university entrance tests, and armed forces or public administration competitions.
