Mind Gym
Test prep for Pakistan's university entrance tests

Practice that adjusts to you, and a coach that reads your working.

Mind Gym prepares students for NUST, IBA and LSE today, with SAT and LUMS next. Exercises get harder as each concept clicks and easier when it doesn't. Guidance arrives the moment you're stuck, and parents get a report every week.

Adjusts

Difficulty that sharpens each concept

Questions climb as you get them right first time and step back when a concept wobbles, so practice stays where it does the most good: hard enough to stretch, about six in ten right.

Guides

Help at the moment you're stuck

Every wrong choice gets a hint about that particular slip. In the app a coach reads your handwritten working and points at the next step, never the answer.

Reports

Parents in the loop

A short report each week: time practised, mock scores against each school's target, where marks were lost and two or three things a parent can do.

Try a ladder in your browser.

Ladders are short climbs from the basics to test level, in angles and trigonometry for a start. Have a pen and paper ready.

  • Six rungs, from simple to test level, graded like ski runs.
  • Two right first time moves you up. Two misses step you back to rebuild.
  • A wrong answer gets a hint about that mistake, so you can fix it and try again.
  • The top rung runs at test pace: 54 seconds a question.

How Mind Gym works

Practise the way you'll sit the test.

Work it out on the page

  • A scratch pad beside every questionWrite with the Apple Pencil (or a finger), cross out choices, highlight the words that prove an answer.
  • A coach that reads your workingStuck? Ask, and it looks at what you've written and points at the next step or the trap ahead. It never gives the answer away.
  • "Show me" explains the ideaWith a different example, so you still solve this one yourself.
Show me on a circle question: three steps, then a worked example with different numbers and a labelled diagram
Show me on a circle question: the method, then an example with different numbers.

Mocks built like the real paper

  • Three full mocks for each testWith that school's sections, timing and question styles: no calculator for IBA, no going back to maths once it closes.
  • A debrief you can act onWhere the points went, the habit that cost them (rushing, skipping) and a ten-minute practice on your weakest topics.

A calm plan for each week

  • No streaks, no badgesA short plan instead: lessons on the topics costing the most marks, a timed set in each subject, an error hunt and a mock.
  • Error huntsFind the one mistake in a worked solution: the habit of checking your own work.
  • Focused minutesSessions count the time actually spent on questions, and notice when attention drifts.

The tests

Each test on its own terms.

Every school's paper has its own format and question styles. Mind Gym's mocks follow each one, built from the school's sample papers, official SAT questions and recent test-takers' reports.

For parents

A weekly report you can actually read.

Written for a parent rather than a teacher. Every number in it is checked against the practice data.

The week at a glanceTime practised, sessions and mocks, against each school's target score and pace.
Where marks were lostTopics ranked by marks lost, with real wrong answers, the student's own handwritten working and the faster method.
What you can do this weekTwo or three concrete things, chosen from the data: sit in on a mock, ask them to talk you through one question, protect a quiet hour.

Their data stays with Mind Gym. Practice is saved on the device and to their Mind Gym account. No ads and no third-party analytics.

About the coach. When a student asks the coach, or a review is written after an answer, a picture of the question and their working is sent to an AI model to write the reply.
