There were a few things that we were not happy about and knew was not giving our users the best experience and we've had our share of being at the receiving end of an unhappy member. It hasn't been often - but we don't want 'not often' either. We want this test platform to be excellent.
In the next few days we will roll out a beta version - you can try it but you can go back to the older screen if you want. Here's a few things we have in offer
- A fast 'instant switch' from question to question - no flicker, no loading, no delay. A much smoother experience
- Better visual cue as to on which question you are in
- A new, and in our mind - a very useful (and nowhere else) learning mode.
Learning Mode
What is the learning mode? Well, let's say you do a test and you don't do too well. You can go back to the test in and start it in learning mode which will
- Impose no time constraint - take your time and practice thoroughly
- Show you a count-up, so you can see how much time you spend on a question
- Give you handy 'instant feedback' when you choose an answer
This is just for starters. Our page architecture design will let us add useful new features easily.
So, how should you use the learning mode?
a) First do the test in the normal mode - where you get no help, you can't see solutions, and it feels like a real test
b) Look at your performance, and then go into learning mode.Take your time as you solve the question. If you click the wrong option, then solve until you get it right. Then see the solution. Note the time you took to solve
In the learning mode, you can't submit a test to see statistics as it does not make sense. The idea is to see performance 'as you go' and to take the time you need to get it right. We think this will be a very useful feature for those who struggle with numerical tests.
