## What is Passnote?

Passnote turns preparation for Japan's Information-Technology Engineers Examinations into a clear daily study routine.

Practice past questions for the IT Passport, Fundamental Information Technology Engineer, Information Security Management, and Applied Information Technology Engineer examinations on your iPhone or iPad. Review mistakes and weak areas without losing your place.

Key features:

- Practice based on past exam questions
- Mock exams designed around the real test format
- Review of mistakes and weak subject areas
- Glossary cards and a focused review queue
- AI-powered explanations and study support
- Daily study tasks from Tomo
- Account-based progress sync across devices

Passnote is designed to help you understand why an answer is correct, not simply memorize it. Short sessions during a commute or break always lead you back to the next useful question or term.

Core study features are available for free. A Pro membership expands access to AI explanations, mock exams, weak-point review, study tasks, glossary cards, and other tools for exam preparation.

Passnote is an independent study tool. It is not an official app of IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan) or any examination body. Exam questions and in-app study content are primarily presented in Japanese.
