Deutsch A1 - Exam Preparation App
Structured the learning flow so users understand what to do at each step.
Overview
Designed a structured learning flow that improves clarity and helps users track progress.
Context
This project focuses on designing a website and mobile app for learners preparing for the Goethe A1 exam.Users are beginners with limited time, low confidence, and no clear structure for exam preparation. They need a simple way to practice and understand their progress.
Problem
Users prepare for the exam without a clear structure.
- no exam-based flow
- no module structure
- unclear progress
Goal
Design a learning experience aligned with the Goethe A1 exam. Help users move through tasks, track progress, and stay focused.
Solution
A structured learning flow based on exam modules.
- Exam-based modules
- Linear task flow
- Immediate feedback after each task
- Progress tied to exam skills
User Flow
- Module
- Task
- Feedback
- Next task
Key UX Decisions
One primary action per screen
- users focus on one task
Progress shown inside each module
- progress is visible and clear
Simple linear flow
- no need to decide where to go next
Focus Mode
- removes distractions
- users see only the task and progress
Feedback
- clear feedback after each answer
- helps users understand mistakes and continue
Validation
Tested with 5 users
- Low button visibility -> increased contrast.
- Users hesitated before tapping -> primary CTA size increased.
- Unclear error states → added clear feedback.
Result: Users completed tasks more confidently with fewer mistakes.
Result
Users understand:
- where they are
- what to do next
- how they are progressing
Users complete tasks with fewer mistakes and move through the flow with more confidence.
Visual System
A calm color palette, clear hierarchy, and minimal UI support focus and readability during learning.
AI in the Process
AI supported:
- research
- text structuring
- ideation
Limitations:
- outputs were generic
- required manual refinement
Final decisions were made manually.
Learnings
- Structure defines usability in learning products.
- Reducing choices improves task completion.
- AI accelerates early stages but requires control.
Conclusion
I designed a learning flow aligned with the exam structure, focusing on clarity, progress, and task-based interaction. Next step: test with more users and refine interaction details.
