Helping Romanian high-schoolers walk into their history Bacalaureat exam prepared, not panicked.
The Bacalaureat is the exam every Romanian student has to pass to graduate high school, and History is one of its two mandatory subjects. The official syllabus spans 12 historical epochs — from the formation of the medieval Romanian states to the 1989 revolution — and most students still prepare for it the way generations before them did: a stack of PDFs, a printed manual, and whatever practice tests a teacher hands out.
That leaves a student with no real way to know, the night before the exam, whether they actually know the material or just recognize it. There was no single place to drill multiple-choice questions with instant feedback, memorize the dates and names that trip everyone up, and rehearse the exam itself under its real 3-hour time limit.
BacIstorie consolidates the entire syllabus into a single native iOS app, built around study modes that work together instead of each just reformatting the same PDF.
Multiple-choice questions across all 12 official topics, each with a full explanation — not just the correct letter.
Split into Personalities, Dates, Events, and Concepts, for quick recall sessions between classes.
Content organized by historical epoch, with the dates, figures, and context examiners actually ask about.
Full practice exams in the official format, with the real 3-hour timer and a scoring rubric that mirrors actual grading.
A daily streak and XP system that turns "I should study" into a habit, with a progress view showing exactly what's covered.
A quick look at the real interface — no mockups.
Whether it's an exam-prep app, a habit tracker, or something nobody's built yet — we'd love to hear about it.
