Important: this is a simulation
SSM Buddy is not connected to the Italian Ministry of University and Research or to Cineca. Results are estimates and may be wrong. Choose your schools based on what you really want, not only on the colour shown in the app.
Frequently asked questions
Is it an official app?
No. SSM Buddy is an independent project. The only official assignments are those published by the Ministry.
How much does it cost?
The basic features are free. Some advanced features may be paid, with a single payment per exam session: no subscription and no automatic renewal. The price is always shown before you buy.
How accurate is the simulation?
The more candidates use the app, the more accurate it gets. For those who don't, choices are estimated, so results remain an estimate.
Can I try it without an account?
Yes. Without an account the app runs in demo mode with simulated candidates. To join the real simulation you need an account.
Who can see my data?
Other users can at most see your ranking position, anonymously. Nobody sees your email except the service administrator.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Profilo → Elimina account (the app is in Italian). Your data is deleted immediately. All the steps are on the "Delete account" page.
