I liked the overall course material and lectures. However, when it came time of me to practice the mock tests none of them had the question number assigned to the question. Like another user said it was a list of questions which was disappointing as I wanted to time myself on time spent per question. I specifically bought this course so I could practice this, hence the low rating.
Dear Kristen,
Gideon here, I just read your feedback and I was sorry to hear you experienced this question numbering issue on the mock tests. Thanks to your comment, I discovered a temporary layout bug that started on the 13th (a day before you purchased the course), which got the test’s timer display to hide the question’s numbering/position on some browsers. Had you contacted me as it happened, I would have fixed it straight away. I have also fixed the bug and the tests are now displaying the question position as they did before.
In any case, I have just refunded your purchase in full and I hope that apart from that glitch, you did find my course helpful.
Any additional feedback would be most welcome.
Sincerely,
Gideon
Very helpful in exam preparation
Excellent material for preparing and practicing!
PROS **
Did these CCAT tests helped me?
Yes. I could not have done it without some preparatory tests. Just one test, the free one, was not enough. I benefited from the training resources listed in the video lessons. I was in need of the actual series of tests to max up my speed.
Was the CCAT tests sufficient?
Yes, for my purpose of preparing for just one job evaluation.
Is it good value for money compared to the competition?
Yes, it costs only 1/3 of other tests from more established firms. However it is good value only for a one-off job assessment. I would not use it again, as the package contains only three tests, that’s all. But, hey, I needed it only once to get into a job interview.
CONS **
The second test does not follow the proper format, which is to force us to click on a submit button to move to the next test. It was instead a list questions. this was unfortunate as I needed to tests specifically to train myself on skipping to the next questions every 20 seconds. Test #1 and #3 were properly formatted, Test #2 was not. A minor point for most people I am sure, but I remove one star because of the issue.
There were also some minor mistakes in the tests themselves, nothing dramatic, but still unfortunate.
* Mistakes in at least two abstract tests where a different answer can be reached using a different (and valid) set of visual rules. I noticed one in lesson 2 and one in lesson 3.
* Mistake in a “series of letters” in lesson 3. The 4 options are incorrect and do not follow the proper rule as described in the explanation once the test is completed (jump +4)
Dear Raph,
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
1. I’ve just fixed the second test’s format issue. I don’t know how this even got about to change, as all tests were designed in the same way, but it’s a valid point and it’s now been fixed.
2. As for the mistakes you found in specific questions, I will contact you privately to try and locate them and fix them accordingly.
3. I’ve also now refunded half the amount you paid to compensate for the inconvenience you experienced.
Sincerely,
Gideon
In combination with the free introductory course, the cram prep is an excellent course to get ready for the CCAT! 👍👍
Amazing, relevant and easy to understand course.
MUST start with the free introduction course for best results.
I managed to hit about 70% mark in 2 weeks preparation but better allow as much time as possible.
The team is very responsive and professional and I can’t wait to work with them again.
Great Preparation, recommended 🙂
Scored in the 90th percentile on actual test, was very pleased. I didn’t have time for the lessons so I only took 2 of the practice tests, they did a really nice job practicing question types and getting me in a rhythm for the actual test.
Its a good platform for enhancing and recovering ability of self
