Built by students who sat these exams.

pass the year is exam preparation built one program at a time, by students who passed it. Made in Rotterdam, for students, by students.

What we stand on

What we are forGiving students their weeks back. Dread before every exam is a design flaw in how studying is taught, and we build the fix.
Why we start from the examAn exam is smaller than a course. We take it apart first, build backwards, and make you practise more than you read.
Why we only open where we can be excellentA coach who sat the same exam, a summary written for that program. A program we do not serve yet has a queue, not a discount.
Why students write itWhoever passed the course last year remembers what was actually examined. A professional summary writer does not.
What we will never doSell you another program's summary. Copy a slide. Hide a correction. Lock you in behind an email. Invent a countdown.
Who we arepass the year is made by erudeon, a small company in Rotterdam started by two students who met over a shared summary. We also build flow, the app that gets students out of the house.

Where we are

Today: programs in Netherlands, one program and one year at a time. Every one has a page of its own.
