Useful but with some issues
I was provided a measureup access account as part of a paid for boot camp, the measureup access intended to be a means to prepare for the exam. Whilst the customer service is friendly, polite, and were able to walk me through gaining access to my content as a result of their backend seemingly recently changing and it being a nightmare to navigate as a result, the customer service does not make up for the short fall in the delivery of the content itself. Firstly, it appears to have real issues with Chrome browser. Being mid exam and then the "next" button or submit options just cease working, rendering the rest of the test unusable. I resorted to using firefox, which appeared to give a more consistent delivery. Refresh rates on the page are slow, often sometimes not loading at all and requiring a page refresh. This appears to be down to it loading in the content from somewhere else but it simply is not seamless and often frustrating. I found some of the test questions incredibly ambiguous and actually stunted my confidence rather than helping to improve it. Often there were questions on services that are as reliably informed by tutors and content delivery professionals, do not even appear on the exam. This left me with gaps in my knowledge and uncertain how much faith to put into the questions being asked. The positives are however that the management of the history is useful. Being able to go back into previous tests to evaluate missed questions or wrong answers is useful. Also when answering a question wrong, the feedback is very good in terms of telling you why the answer was wrong. Lastly, keeping trends of your scores gives you as a user an idea of where you are averaging. All in all, its a reasonable effort and still a useful tool, but it requires some fine tuning.
