Past Papers Papers now open instantly in a built-in reader. Previously the Download & View button did nothing on newer devices — that is fixed, and papers open straight away with pinch to zoom. Mock Tests A new question grid lets you jump to any question in a test. Answered questions are marked, skipped ones are left clear, so you can see what is left at a glance and go straight back to anything you passed over. Your answers are now saved as you go. If the app closes mid-test, you can pick up exactly where you left off, on the same question, with nothing lost. Leaderboard Test rankings now appear in the correct order — higher scores are placed above lower ones. Profile pictures now show for you and other students. You can now share your test result as an image, including your rank, score, MCQs solved, accuracy, XP and streaks. Long names no longer overflow the top-performer cards. Solve MCQs Chapter question counts are now accurate. Some chapters were showing an out-of-date number on the chapter card that did not match the questions inside. Community Profile stats now display correctly instead of showing zeros. Tidied up your own profile so options meant for other students no longer appear there. Thank you for using SabaqGuide. Please keep the feedback coming.

We've given the Leaderboard a major upgrade — plus a host of fixes and refinements across the app to make competing, learning, and tracking your progress smoother than ever. LEADERBOARD, REBUILT The Test Score leaderboard now works the way it should. We fixed an issue that prevented test rankings from loading at all, so you'll now see results reliably every time you open the tab. • Share your leaderboard rank & practice results as a branded image • Mock tests now keep questions in a fixed order — no more reshuffling • Test results & chapter-wise tips added to your Stats • Faster, cleaner Solve MCQs screen with quick answer review • Lighter, smoother design throughout • Opens to your latest test automatically — no more hunting through menus. The most recent test loads the moment you switch to Test Score. • Top Performers podium — the top three students are showcased in a clean, prominent podium with gold, silver, and bronze styling, their scores, and percentages. • Nobody gets hidden — previously, if only one or two students had attempted a test, their results could disappear entirely. Now every attempt shows up, whether it's the whole class or just a couple of early birds. • Full rankings below — scroll the complete list of everyone who attempted, with your own position highlighted so you can spot yourself instantly. CLEANER, EASIER TO READ We heard you — the old screens felt heavy and cramped. Everything has been tightened up and polished. • Compact, lightweight test picker with a smooth bottom sheet, drag handle, and a quick count of available tests. • Streamlined ranking tiles that fit more on screen without feeling crowded. • High-contrast scores and percentages — numbers are now bold and clearly legible on every medal and tile, in both light and dark mode. • Neatly aligned rank badges so positions line up perfectly instead of drifting around, with proper handling for large rank numbers. • Removed the redundant Subject filter on Test Score, since tests already span every subject. MOST ACTIVE TAB The Most Active leaderboard got the same love: clearer score chips, consistent rank badges, and improved readability throughout, so tracking the most engaged learners is effortless. NOTIFICATIONS & TO-DOS • To-Do status changes now push a notification straight to the task creator's phone, so nothing slips through the cracks. SOLVE MCQs IMPROVEMENTS • Grade, subject, and chapter selection are now merged into a single, faster screen. • In-chapter difficulty filter lets you focus on Easy, Medium, or Hard questions. • Deleted MCQs are now pruned instantly without needing an app restart. UNDER THE HOOD • Fixed a data-parsing crash on iOS that affected leaderboard loading. • Smarter caching and fewer redundant network calls for faster screens and less data usage. • Numerous stability, performance, and UI consistency improvements across the app. As always, thank you for using SabaqGuide. Your feedback drives these updates — keep it coming, and keep climbing that leaderboard! Having an issue or have a suggestion?

We've made SabaqGuide better for your MDCAT and ETEA preparation. This update introduces a brand-new test notification system, more reliable scheduled and live mock tests, and important fixes to MCQ practice so the questions and progress you see are always accurate. NEVER MISS A MOCK TEST Scheduled tests are a key part of staying exam-ready, so we made sure you always know when one is coming up: - New test alerts: The moment a teacher schedules a new mock test, you receive a notification so you can decide whether to register and reserve your spot. - 5-minute start reminders: You now get a reminder five minutes before a test begins, giving you time to settle in and start on time. - Tap to jump straight in: Tapping a test notification takes you directly to the Home screen and automatically scrolls to that exact test, highlighting its card so you can spot it at a glance and register or start without searching for it. - Reliable delivery: We fixed an issue where many students were never subscribed to test notifications. Now, as long as notifications are enabled on your device, you will receive new-test alerts and start reminders. You can turn any of these on or off anytime from Settings. SCHEDULED AND LIVE TESTS NOW WORK SMOOTHLY We resolved several issues that could get in the way when taking a scheduled or live mock test: - "No questions found" fixed: Some live tests would load briefly and then show a "No questions found" error, making them impossible to start. Tests now load their questions correctly every time, and your answers are scored accurately on our secure servers. - Only published tests appear: Draft tests that teachers were still preparing could sometimes show up in your Upcoming Tests list. You will now only see tests that have actually been scheduled and are ready to take. - Correct test times, every time: Test schedule times are now always shown in Pakistan Standard Time. Previously, depending on your device's time-zone settings, a test set for the morning could appear in the evening, or the other way around. The time you see is now exactly the time the test was scheduled for, no matter where you are or how your phone is configured. MORE ACCURATE MCQ PRACTICE Practicing the right questions with the right progress numbers matters, so we fixed a frustrating issue some students experienced after chapter content was updated: - No more duplicate questions: After a chapter's MCQs were updated, some students saw each question appear twice. Questions now appear exactly once. - Correct "Remaining" count: The "Remaining" MCQs count could double instead of resetting after content changes. It now always reflects the true number of questions left in the chapter. - Always up to date: Behind the scenes, the app's offline content now keeps itself in sync with the latest changes, so deleted or replaced questions are cleaned up automatically. What you practice always matches the current syllabus content, even after an update. PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY - Various under-the-hood improvements to make the app faster and more dependable, especially when loading chapters, topics, and videos for the first time. - General bug fixes and reliability enhancements throughout the app. Thank you for using SabaqGuide and for all of your feedback. We are committed to giving you the best possible tools to prepare for MDCAT, ETEA, and your other exams. If the app helps you, please consider leaving a rating or review; it genuinely helps us reach more students across Pakistan. Good luck with your preparation, and keep up the great work.

This update makes practicing MCQs faster, clearer, and a lot more shareable. Practice on your terms • End a practice session whenever you like and instantly see how you did — no need to finish every question in a chapter first. • The new Practice Summary shows both your current session (attempted, correct, incorrect) and your overall chapter progress, including how many questions you have left. Share your progress • Turn your results into a clean, shareable card and post it to WhatsApp Status, Instagram, Facebook and more — a simple way to stay motivated and inspire your friends to prepare too. Smoother and clearer • A single, consistent back button now moves you back exactly one step at a time, so navigating grades, subjects and chapters feels natural. • Answer labels (A, B, C, D) are easier to read on selected and highlighted options. Fixes & polish • Your stats now update the instant you submit an answer — no more counts lagging behind. • Fixed the results card layout so it looks great on every screen size. • A wider, cleaner summary dialog and many small refinements across the practice experience.
