Overview
Studify is an online education platform that runs online tests, manages fees and generates test cards, with dynamic charts and reporting throughout. It is built with React, Node.js, PHP and MySQL. The live site at studify.pk currently presents it as an MDCAT preparation hub, with province-wise test sessions for students across Pakistan.
The challenge
Test-prep providers have to register many students, collect fees, schedule and run tests, issue test cards and show results, often at entry-test season scale. Doing this by hand or over WhatsApp alone doesn't scale and leaves students without clear progress data.
The solution
I built a platform with an online test system, online fee management and test card generation, plus a chart-heavy interface for reporting across the whole platform. A React front-end sits on a Node.js and PHP back-end with MySQL storage.
Key features
Online test system
Students take tests online.
Online fee management
Fees are tracked and managed inside the platform.
Test cards
Test cards are generated for students.
Dynamic charts
A complex interface with charts for performance and operations.
Platform-wide reporting
Reports across students, tests and fees.
