FidelPrep turns the Ethiopian national curriculum into a study habit you can actually keep. Every subject is built from the national textbooks and cut into topics you can finish in about fifteen minutes: a short lesson, worked examples, checks that ask you to answer rather than nod along, and flashcards that come back before you forget. WHAT IS INSIDE - The national curriculum for Grades 1 to 12, subject by subject and unit by unit - Grade 12 national exam revision, with earlier material brought back on a schedule instead of left behind - SAT Math and SAT Reading and Writing, an optional track that sits next to your own subjects whatever grade you are in - Checks you actually answer: type it, pick it, or say true or false, and get told honestly whether you had it - A review queue that decides what you need to see again, and when BUILT FOR HOW STUDYING REALLY GOES - Works offline. Download a subject on wifi and finish a whole session in airplane mode. - Picks up exactly where you stopped, down to the question. - Streaks, points and a weekly league, so the thing that gets rewarded is turning up. - Study groups with a share code, for the people you actually revise with. - Nib, an AI study helper that can see your own progress and answer questions about what to work on next. Nib is in beta, it can be wrong, and it only talks about studying. SAFE BY DESIGN FidelPrep is used by school students, and it is built that way. There is no advertising and no third-party tracking. You can report any message or profile and block anybody in two taps, and a person reads every report. You can delete your account from inside the app at any time, and everything in it goes with it. Built in Ethiopia, from the Ethiopian textbooks, for students sitting Ethiopian exams.
