AIm-PG is built for one goal: a high score on NEET-PG or INI-CET — and it gets you there by teaching you to think faster, not just study harder. —————————————————————————————— SYNAPSE — ADAPTIVE DAILY SCHEDULING —————————————————————————————— Synapse is the brain of AIm-PG. It builds a personalised daily study schedule recalibrated to your exact exam date, subject confidence, and available hours — then adjusts automatically as your preparation evolves. The Synapse tracks your streak, phase rings, and retention metrics so you always know exactly what to study next. Synapse tier unlocks: Schedule, Catch-Up Pool, streak tracking, Stats. —————————————————————————————— PYQ QUESTION BANK (Pro & above) —————————————————————————————— 10+ years of NEET-PG and INI-CET previous year questions, organised by subject and topic. Where AIm-PG is different from every other app: • Right-answer rationale — a concise, exam-focused explanation of why the correct answer is correct. • Wrong-option elimination — every distractor is individually broken down. You learn precisely why Option A, B, or C is wrong, not just which letter is right. • Clinical Pearl — a high-yield, bedside-ready takeaway for rapid recall in the exam hall. • 4-Step Synapse Walkthrough — a structured solve method that shows you how to reach the answer step by step. Other apps teach what the answer is. Synapse Walkthrough teaches you how to get there — so you can apply the same reasoning to a question you've never seen before. —————————————————————————————— AI MOCKS & PRACTICE SETS (Pro+) —————————————————————————————— Pro+ adds AI-generated content that goes beyond the PYQ bank: • Unlimited full-length simulated mock exams — AI-generated, timed to real exam structure (NEET-PG / INI-CET section format and 180-minute duration). • AI Practice Sets — AI-generated question sets that target your weak subjects and push your preparation further than historical PYQs alone. • Conceptual Twists — AI generates alternative variants of the same clinical concept, showing you how examiners reframe the same knowledge across different question stems. Builds pattern recognition, not rote memory. • National percentile benchmarking and peer performance analytics — see where you stand and what to fix before exam day. All AI mock and practice questions include the same right-answer rationale, wrong-option elimination, Clinical Pearl, and 4-Step Synapse Walkthrough as PYQs. —————————————————————————————— SCHEDULE & CATCH-UP POOL (Synapse & above) —————————————————————————————— A day-by-day study timeline shows every planned session. Missed one? The Catch-Up Pool surfaces overdue blocks and lets you reschedule into open slots — no manual rebuilding required. —————————————————————————————— STATS & PROGRESS (Synapse & above) —————————————————————————————— Hexagonal radar map, donut pie chart, and subject comparison bar across all 19 medical subjects — segmented by PYQs, Practice Sets, and Mock Tests, sortable by accuracy, speed, or completion. —————————————————————————————— SUBSCRIPTION —————————————————————————————— Three tiers — Synapse, Pro, and Pro+ — on monthly, 6-month, and annual plans. Price shown at checkout. Manage or cancel anytime in your device's Store settings. Annual subscribers can add a 30-day Exam Extension.
