iOS Appstore Duplicate Apps

Hi HN community!

I am creating an exam prep app and I would like to create seperate apps for seperate exam takers. they are completely different cohorts. SO it will be easier for me to market the apps if I have it like this. But I am worried about Apple's policy about apps having similar codebase. Can someone clarify if it is possible?

Apple will probably reject your apps based on rule 4.3 from the guidelines: “Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase.”
