Erudity | GMAT Prep – Gamified and Socialized

Hi all,

I'm looking to get feedback on a tool i've created.

During my GMAT prep i had few observations for gmat prep ecosystem:

GMAT test preparation is an unorganized, ennui, and expensive process for most.

    Unorganized journey:  1.2 What to practice, 1.3 how much is enough - am i there yet? 1.4 what type of mistakes am i repeating - am i improving? where do i stand today vs T-x days before? 1.5 what other gaps do i not know about myself - i'm oblivious

    Lack of social interactions while prepping which usually leads to absence of excitement and competition leading to higher likelihood of faltering in future

    Cost: >INR 20k + test prep > INR50-100k, its an expensive affair with no low likelihood of success

Ideal scenario should be where platform enables:

    Autonomous organisation:

        Records answer logs in platform (time taken, recall rate after T+ days, question-memory stability)

        Prioritizes questions basis concept gaps and recall rate using spaced repetition model

    Gamification and socialization:

        Enables positive reinforcement and social/personal accountabilitythrough leaderboards and social streaks

        Conducts tournaments/ quizes amongst study buddies or a random global candidate by matching participants's current skill level (per topic) ; solo practice mode also provided

With these pointers in mind, soft launching here, actively seeking your feedback.

Feel free to DM or comment below, will be actively responding to any feedback or queries.

Ciao

I'm nearly done studying for the GRE, this is a huge gap that needs to be filled. None of the test prep companies have the software know-how to build anything fun. I think your product can succeed. My 2 cents (take with a grain of salt) is that real learning is difficult, so your ideal learning algorithm will constantly be giving people problems they're bad at, and attacking their weaknesses. This could discourage people who are used to 'studying' as just doing busywork/rote problems. Either provide education on this piece, or mix in some easy stuff. Good luck I love your idea.
