Aprovado is a tool to organize your study.
If you have an important test or exam in view, like SAT, bar exam, or just final exams, you know that studying hard is the best way to be prepared to be approved.
To get the most out of your studies, you need planning. For this, it is necessary to evaluate how much you have available to study and thus divide it well between the subjects of the test.
With Aprovado, you will be able to record the subjects of your test and the duration of each study session. Closely following the time you dedicate in your studies, you'll be able to make adjustments so that you do not forget to check all disciplines.
Aprovado has a mobile app available for iOS and Android, so you can study away from computer distractions. Everything you register in the app is synchronized with your account, so you won't miss a second of preparation!
Absolutely nothing! Registration is free and you can start your studies as soon as you create an account! The functions of net hours, history and time charts of study and timeline (to see their persistence in the studies), are available to everyone!
The Aprovado app run some advertisements. Advertisements are cured and we pay attention to block abusive ads. You can use Aprovado in a library because no advertisement with sound will show up!
For those who want to boost the studies, Aprovado offers in-app purchases, called Feature Packs, that add extra functions to help with your studies.

It's very easy and quick to get started with Aprovado:
The first step is to create the subjects. A subject is an area of knowledge to be studied, such as English and Mathematics. See the guide on
Suggestion: Use the exam notice to use as a base for subjects.
With at least one subject registered, you can already start an activity. An activity corresponds to the continuous slice of time dedicated to a subject. Like those minutes you studied History while the water was heating up to make coffee.
Once you register your first activity, take a look in the Track session to look at the activity charts. The study time graph will help you quickly visualize how is your pace of study, and how you have divided that time between subjects. The timeline graph shows how the study progressed in the last week, month, year, etc. Oh, and you can customize the dates of the charts as you like.
If you own an Android or iOS smarphone, you can use the Aprovado app (Android and iOS). With it, you study wherever you want, whenever you want. And it has automatic synchronization with the site for you to track from anywhere.
Subject is the general name that we give for categories of study such as: English, History, Civil Law, Constitutional Law, among others. Some call them Objects of Knowledge, others call them Knowledge Areas. In Aprovado, when performing an activity, you need to specify the subject studied.
Each subject has Contents that, in turn, are items of knowledge about that subject. For example, the English subject has contents such as Grammar, Text Comprehension and Interpretation, and Punctuation, while the subject Constitutional Law has contents such as General Theory of the State, and Fundamental Rights and Guarantees. In Aprovado, if you want, you can specify the content you are studying in the Activity, but it's optional.
When creating your subjects and contents, we recommend that you use the exam notice as a basis. Look for the edict section that talks about Knowledge Objects or Areas of Knowledge. You don't need to register all the subjects, only the ones you're going to study. As contents, use the subtopics of each knowledge object.
An Activity corresponds to a period of time dedicated to a subject. In that period of time you may have read books or handouts, made simulations, created summaries and other things. Aprovado will record this dedicated time period through activities. In addition to the subject, you can optionally indicate which content of the subject you have studied.
As activities are created in Aprovado, you can analyze your progress using the Tracking charts.
Tracking charts are important for you to better plan your studies. Using the charts you can see the total time studied in each subject in a predetermined period of time.
Currently, there are two types of charts: Study Time and Timeline.
In the Study Time chart you can quickly analyze the total time dedicated in each subject.
You can set the date range you want to review.
With the Study Time chart you can verify which subject you have been more dedicated to, so you can analyze and better balance the studies, giving preference to subjects that you have greater difficulty, less knowledge, and / or have greater weight in the exam.
The Timeline chart is good for tracking study progress. In this chart, you can see the amount of time studied in each subject over a period of time.
This chart is made of stacked columns. That is, each subject in the column has the height proportional to the amount of time studied on that day/week/month.
The Timeline chart is used to compare study progress across different time periods. With it, it is possible to check the total amount studied in the day/week/month, see what was the distribution of this time between the subjects, and compare the total time and of each subject between different days.
Thus, you can check which subjects you have studied regularly, which ones you need to resume studies, which days you have studied less, and whether you have improved study time or whether you are losing the pace.

The Aprovado app keeps in sync the activities, contents, and activities you have across all the devices you own. Thus, you can always keep the study information at hand no matter where and when you studied.
Another benefit is that synchronization backs up your data in our servers. So, if you need to delete the app, or switch to a new device, you won't miss anything. Everything is saved on Aprovado ;)
In order to sync your data, you must have an Internet connection. The connection can be by cellular network (3G) or wireless network (Wi-fi). The data consumption is very low, you can barely count. If you don't have an Internet connection, don't need to worry. You can use Aprovado normally in offline mode and sync later. This is great for those situations where you, for example, is in a library with your mobile phone in airplane mode (to avoid interruptions) and want to sync only at home when you have Wi-Fi available. Aprovado works perfectly in these cases.
That said, if there is an Internet connection, Aprovado will always synchronize your data with Aprovado in the following situations:
Aprovado will not be able to sync if you have an activity running on the timer. This happens to avoid possible action conflict errors.
If you need to sync immediately to, for example, pick up data that you created in another device, you can ask the app to sync. Just go to the menu Settings and click Sync now:
Aprovado always seeks to keep your information synchronized, and will consolidate your data in the best possible way. If, for example, you study 3 hours of English through Aprovado on a device, and then study 2 hours of Math on another device, and then sync, both devices will show 5 hours of study.
However, there are cases where Aprovado must decide as best as possible how to resolve a conflict. A conflict occurs when the same Activity (or Subject, or Content) has been modified since the last synchronization. Aprovado has two basic rules for these cases:
Here are some examples of conflict resolution actions that Aprovado can do:
Result: The subject is renamed to Math, and reappears on the site and in the application.
That's the first rule coming into action. Hardly you will do something like this, after all if you want to update a story, why deleted it in the first place? Aprovado detects this as an accidental deletion and restores the subject.
Result: The subject is renamed to Mathematics. The change to History is ignored.
That's the second rule. In situations like this, Aprovado simply can't decide what you wanted to do. Then it simply accepts the changes coming from the servers, which is the central data repository of Aprovado. Again, you will only experience this situation if you make conflicting changes to Aprovado.
Result: Neither the story nor the activity you have changed are excluded. The other two activities are deleted. Changes to the activity are made.
The best way to understand this is this: There was a conflict between changing activity on your phone and deleting it from the site. When there is this type of conflict, Aprovado ignores the deletion and restores the activity. Since there cannot be an activity without a subject, subject is restored as well. Because there was no conflict of actions with the other activities, they remain excluded.
Result: only one subject English will exist. The activity you create is linked to it.
That's a Subject rule. There can be no stories with the same name in the app or on the site. Therefore, when the Aprovado detects duplicity, it joins all the activities of these subjects with the same name in one subject. The same rule applies to Contents.
Action conflicts can end up in unwanted situations. The above rules allow the Aprovado to do the best they can to decide when a conflict occurs. However, if you are a normal Aprovado user who uses it connected to the Internet, you will hardly see them occur.
To minimize these situations, you can:
