I am Ebrima Mbye, a student at the University of The Gambia. This is why I created MyExamMate.
I missed an exam.
Not because I was careless. Not because I didn't study. But because I trusted a timetable that later changed without me knowing.
I prepared for the wrong date, only to get a call telling me the exam had already happened. At first, I thought it was a joke.
It wasn't.
One forwarded timetable.
One unnoticed update.
And an entire semester's effort
can disappear.
Universities are complex systems. Timetables are created across multiple schools, multiple majors, and four different years of study. Course clashes happen naturally. Dates shift. Updates are made.
The people building these timetables intend well — they're juggling more moving parts than most students ever see.
But for students, what matters is simple: knowing exactly when and where your own exams are.
Instead of interpreting general timetables meant for hundreds, get one generated just for your courses.
Late nights, alongside classes — the work continued because the problem mattered too much to ignore.
Not marketed. Not pushed. Students started sharing it because it solved a problem they recognized.
Students telling other students:
"This actually helps."
That's how it spread — organically, through trust.
It's for students to look back and say: "This made things easier. This understood student life. This showed that problems don't have to be accepted — they can be solved."
MyExamMate exists to serve students. For now, it remains free and focused on doing one thing well: helping you stay informed, prepared, and confident in your studies.
Thank you for trusting it.
And thank you for sharing it.
