Multi-section quiz generator based on GO's 3 volumes of PYQs

1. Takes in volume no., section no.(s) & no. of questions. to generate the question paper
2. The generated paper📄, simulates GATE q distribution [Uses distribution of questions per section and sub-section].
3. Reduces cognitive load on reaching the goal 🚩 of finishing all PYQs, gamifies 🎮 your attempts.
4. It is currently a CLI quiz generator, so it displays the question to attempt, and also tracks attempt time⌛.
5. Keeps track of the questions attempted ✅, and never repeats a previously attempted question (customisable, explained below).
6. You can add/remove the questions from the 'lot' of unattempted questions using the updateLots utility.
7. Implements binary search on pdf to find and display question's page no. [saves seen pages' question nos too 🕔]
8. Generates reports in log files 📝, having the questions attempted and attempt times, along with other statistics 📈
9. Code is flexible and can be changed to suit one's needs. For ex. different pdfs, different exam; just need to change some csv files having meta information

Install the pypdf2 package, if using the search utility [Optional]

$ pip install PyPDF2

Simply run the pyqTest in terminal

$ python pyqTest.py

show_pg_no = True

• Only press Enter to goto the next question, and log the time taken
• The log files can be found at ./vol{x}/log/{DATE}_{TIME}.log

This can be further used to write notes related to specific questions, and performing analysis
