Philippine Nurse Licensure Exam Question Bank

Next.js · TypeScript · React Hooks · CSS Modules

So I was supposed to be studying for the Philippine Nurse Licensure Exam. Like, actually studying. Textbook open, highlighters ready, the whole thing.

Instead, I kept finding excuses to code. First it was "let me just organize my notes better." Then it was "what if I could quiz myself with a nice interface?" Then suddenly I'm building a full question bank with progress tracking and answer sorting, and my textbook hasn't moved from page 47 in two weeks.

Classic copium. I was procrastinating so hard I accidentally built a study tool.

Plot twist: I passed.

Didn't realize it helped until after the exam. Turns out building quiz logic is weirdly effective at making you actually learn the material.

The Tool

What It Does

  • •Question flow with progress tracking
  • •Sidebar that sorts right/wrong answers
  • •Review mode — filter just mistakes or just correct answers
  • •Background colors to indicate study mode
  • •Material organization across two textbooks

Moral of the story: if you're going to procrastinate, at least procrastinate productively.
