Every section, ranked, in the app

ClassMaxx ranks this semester's live Purdue sections easiest first, by instructor, and alerts you when a seat opens in the one you want.

ClassMaxx is not affiliated with Purdue. We never ask for a school password.

Grade distributions are public records published by Purdue. Shares are of letter grades given (withdrawals excluded). A high A/B share doesn't mean a class is easy for you; it means most students who finished it did well.

The iPhone app pushes the alert the second a seat opens, builds four ready schedules from your degree audit, and ranks sections by real grades. Free; a $4.99 Fast pass per semester makes alerts instant.
