## What the app does

Students pick a language and exam year, then the player loads the official SEC audio and overlays colour-coded section markers (Section A, B, C…) so they can jump straight to a part of the exam. Playback speed (0.5x–2x), volume, and 10-second skip controls are all available. Progress is persisted in localStorage so students can resume.
