King of the Curve – Case Study
Overview:
Each year, medical students struggle their way through in order to secure maximum marks on the MCAT. But It is obvious that student life is as hard as it is easy. So students set their goals at an early age and try their best to achieve them throughout student life. But here we are, with the MDCAT preparation app, KOTC.
In response to the medical students preparing for the MCAT, the client came up with the idea of developing an app that is a play mode app, or you can call it a game. In this app, over 5000 questions related to core medical topics are there to answer. Students do play games on mobile phones as well as on consoles. So why not play in a productive way? King of the Curves is an MCAT preparation app that lets the students play in different styles, answer medical-related questions, and compete with each other on the leaderboards.
Challenge:
The client reached out to us, unsatisfied with the app’s features and playing modes. This was a semi-developed app, and we were asked to make it to the final form for iOS and Android, having interesting modes for the students. Formerly, the multiplayer mode was much more complex. Still, Our development team invested much time in making a strategy to adorn the app keeping the student’s desires and needs in mind, and came up with the features discussed below. By the way, it is appealing to mention that this app’s idea originated from the client, who scored in the 99th percentile of MCAT test takers. So it will not be wrong to say that this app is worth it for the students preparing for MCAT.
Features We Came Up With
Question of the Day:
Because as you launch the KOTC app, an instant screen appears saying, “Question of the day.” You have to answer that question, and if you have the right answer, it will add a point to the streak count, but if not, don’t worry; we have other modes for you to play study games.
Single Player:
A few interesting modes are present as you enter the “Single Player” mode. Namely Endless mode, Timed Mode, Review Mode, Adaptive QBank, Boolean Blitz, and Quiz Game Mode. Let’s have a quick introduction to all of these.
Endless Mode:
Test your knowledge by answering never-ending questions. In this mode, you’ll be allowed to answer randomly appearing medical-related questions having no time limit, and you can only stop the game by pressing the “End Round” button present on the top right of the screen. When you end the round, head over to the leaderboard and see who is topping; show the world you’re number 1.
Timed Mode:
And In this mode, you’re allowed to answer the questions as much as possible in a timeframe of 60secs. There’s an option in the KOTC app to choose the category of questions to answer. This perk can be availed by upgrading to premium and having a couple of affordable packages for you. But If you find the questions hard, don’t worry; there’s an option, “Past Games,” that lets you play the most recent game you played. Prepare thoroughly and secure the highest score.
Adaptive Qbank:
This is the most comprehensive way to play with MCAT questions. So You can examine yourself based on the stats shown here in this option. The stats show your respective subject’s percentage. The more the percentage, the more you’re good in that subject. The “Past Game” option is also there, in case you know what that is for! In this mode, you can select the category, type of questions, and difficulty level.
Review Mode:
And In this mode, you can bookmark the specific questions you want to answer later. It is perfect for you not to let a single question be answered obscurely.
Boolean Blitz Mode:
Snapchat kind of inspires this mode. You have unlimited time to answer the True/False questions. Each correct answer adds a streak to the streak count that shows on the top of the screen. So Push your limits and try to make a longer streak of competing with the students on the leaderboard.
Quiz Game Mode:
In this mode, you can manually add questions and make a quiz on your desired topic. So prepare for the quiz and aim to secure full marks in it. Create a question paper yourself. and be your own teacher.
Multiplayer
Random Opponent:
Match with a random person and answer the questions that appear in the KOTC app. Answer 3 consecutive questions and compete to get a badge for giving the correct answer to a question on a specific topic (badge). And If you fail to answer 3 questions consecutively, your opponent will get to play now, and you will have to wait for your turn. The first one to complete 6 badges will win the round. It is going to be a tense situation!!!
Matches:
This option shows the active matches which you left unfinished and challenge requests sent by any of your friends or any individual.
Friends:
This is the most demanding and interactive game mode in the KOTC. So Add your friends and invite them to prepare alongside and have fun too.
Leaderboard:
In this option inside the KOTC app, you’ll find a hell of a competition between the students competing worldwide. Turn the “Institutional Leaderboard” on and see which university students are topping. Try to make your institute on top.
