About

Science Bee Coach

Features
Read full description

Science Bee Coach is the ultimate preparation tool for students competing in the Science Bee at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. Built on a database of over 2,800 real archived Science Bee tossups spanning multiple competition years, the app gives students access to the same questions they'll face on competition day — not generic trivia. PYRAMIDAL BUZZER Practice like you compete. Questions are read aloud sentence by sentence using natural neural text-to-speech. Buzz in early on the first clue for maximum points, or wait for more context. The scoring mirrors the real competition: earlier buzzes earn more points. ORQE SIMULATOR (Elementary / Middle School) A timed 50-question multiple-choice exam drawn from real ORQE question banks across multiple years. Covers all major science topics with a 20-minute timer, just like the real qualifying exam. NQE SIMULATOR (High School / JV / Varsity) Practice the National Qualifying Exam format with 50 real NQE questions per session, randomly sampled from a bank of 448 questions spanning three competition years. Pause the timer, jump between questions, and review your answers before submitting. FLASHCARDS Study by topic — Chemistry, Cell Biology, Astronomy, Earth Science, Physics, Zoology, Mathematics, Disease & Medicine, and more. Cards are drawn from the real question archive and organized by your weak areas so you spend time where it counts most. POWER DRILL Rapid-fire multiple choice questions filtered by topic, difficulty, and school level. Perfect for short study sessions between classes. DAILY CHALLENGE A new set of questions every day combining a pyramidal tossup with a multiple choice round. Build a daily streak and track your improvement over time. ADAPTIVE STATS The app tracks your accuracy by topic and surfaces your weakest areas first. See exactly where you need to improve across Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and every other Science Bee category. FEATURES • 2,800+ real archived Science Bee tossups • Separate banks for Elementary/MS and HS/JV/Varsity • Haptic feedback with optional answer-selection vibration • No ads, no subscriptions, no account required Science Bee Coach is an independent study tool created by a Science Bee enthusiast.
