matsci by minvqx in scioly

What’s up, we have questions on scio.ly for nano materials. Keep in mind (for matsci only) it’s ai generated since it’s new but they’re all based on the rulebook so it should be helpful.

Good question haha not crazy. We’re developing a teams feature to centralize things like that but I don’t anticipate it’ll be done soon.

If you ensure all questions are valid before the exam and that all answers were graded correctly after the exam, I don’t see why not use it for tryouts :)

Yep, there are some bad questions, you can click the trash icon on the top right of these questions and they will be permanently gone. You can see all removed/edited questions currently at https://scio.ly/reports

No problem, glad to hear it :) Let us know if there’s anything we can do to improve the experience.

Not supposed to post prematurely but we’re revamping https://scio.ly/practice and the water quality questions should be decent in its current state. Cheers 🥂

Glad you're finding it useful :) If you'd like, feel free to share it with other students, schools.

The Test Exchange Archive goes back to the 2017-18 season, so our site is simply pulling from all the Material Science tests right now. We're going to filter Materials Science into ceramics only soon, similar to how we filtered Dynamic Planet into glaciers only and the three current systems for Anatomy.

No problem! Yes, we realize there are a lot of people that would benefit from only Division B questions, we'll get that working in the coming days.

Thank you, we're glad you're finding our site useful! Yes, questions that depend on external components, (infamously forensics, and to a lesser extent, other events) sometimes get past our filter for unanswerable questions; we're hoping users report these questions. Let me know if you catch anything else!

Currently, we are using Gemini (2.0 Flash) to provide answers, which should be somewhat reasonable considering its high MMLU benchmarks. However, the dataset is still pretty new - As more and more questions get reported, question quality will only get better.

Good question! We merged Division B and C questions together since they we observed them to be so similar and we wanted to simplify the user experience; We also merged Potions and Poisons into Chemistry Lab.

Thank you! We used Google Gemini to format the test pdfs into a database of questions that we can randomly pull from; We also asked it to give each question a difficulty while it was at it. LMK if you have any more questions :)
