Set up: your state, your subjects, your exam dates
The three answers the app needs before it can build you a plan — and what each one changes.

Captivate Exam Hub builds your revision around three answers: where you are, what you're sitting, and when. Setting all three takes a couple of minutes, and everything after it — the questions you see, the plan, the countdowns — follows from them.
The three steps
- Your state, under Account. Exam content differs by state: past papers, study designs and command terms all come from your local exam authority, so this scopes every question you'll be shown. Queensland (QCE) is live today; the other states and territories are in development.
- Your subjects, from the Subjects page — choose “Manage subjects”. Your selection drives which past exams and flashcards you see, what the daily loop schedules, and what you pay if you subscribe.
- Your exam dates, from the Progress page — tap the pencil beside a subject's countdown. We prefill a sensible default; real dates make the plan and the exam-day projection sharper.
What setup builds
Once the three are in, the Today page has a session waiting for you, and Progress has a week-by-week plan running to your first exam — including roughly how many minutes a day it takes to be ready.
Watch out for
- Picking subjects casually — they lock for the calendar year, and your monthly price follows your selection.
- Leaving the prefilled exam dates alone when you already know the real ones; the countdowns and the plan's pacing both hang off them.
- Expecting content for a state that isn't live yet — check the Subjects and states page before setting up around it.
