Quiz App UI/UX Design

UI/UX Designer Needed – Mobile Quiz App for Competitive Exam Preparation
Project Overview

I’m building a mobile quiz application focused on competitive exam preparation (for example exams conducted by Staff Selection Commission and medical entrance exams like National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).

The app allows students to:

Play quizzes with friends

Create their own quizzes based on exam + syllabus

Track performance, rankings, and learning insights

Earn reputation and rewards

Browse exams, syllabus, articles, and posts

This is a dynamic app — all exams, syllabus, questions, and content are managed via a CMS. The UI must be flexible and data-driven.

Target users: students preparing for competitive exams who want a social + analytical learning experience.

Core Goals

Simple onboarding and fast quiz joining

Clean, distraction-free quiz experience

Clear performance insights

Motivating but professional design

Scalable layouts that work for many exams and syllabus structures

Style:
Not flashy like gaming apps.
Not stiff like enterprise apps.
Somewhere in between: clean, calm, student-friendly UI.
