Gmetrix Reviews 3

Currently using Gmetrix for the Excel expert exam, and will say it is decent at quizzing you, but it is so inefficient that I would highly recommend using any other platform. I sat for 10 minutes as it graded one of the 5 sections of my test, with the time still ticking away. It needs to have a feature that stops the clock when grading.

I am currently using the GMetrix platform for MOS Excel course and exam preparation, and the technical execution is severely lacking. For a tool designed for high-stakes certification, the user experience is surprisingly poor.
The software consistently freezes during tasks, even when following the correct steps, which disrupts the learning flow and wastes valuable study time. More importantly, the interface lacks basic visual feedback—cells do not highlight when selected, making it impossible to verify if you are targeting the correct range or data set.
For any student on a limited timeline, these glitches are a major setback. GMetrix needs to prioritize a more "learner-friendly" and stable interface. Until these bugs are fixed, I cannot recommend this platform for efficiently learning excel nor for exam prep.

For the past 7 months, I've both learned and taught with GMetrix software and it is completely broken in its function of teaching computer skills. The test documents regularly have problems displaying and erroneously mark questions wrong. The software's docked testing window is also very clunky with it either obstructing test documents or not being able to be moved to the forefront when it is being obstructed. I have tried to communicate these issues with the devs, but they have refused to do anything on the grounds of compatibility of past test documents with current Office software functionality, which betrays the most glaring issue with their products of all; it is NOT friendly to learners, especially those with disabilities. If these tests were designed by an educator, they would be compiled based on what skillsets need to be learned, rather than what version they're done on. But it's not an educator involved, it's a third rate IT who clearly has no idea what they're doing. My workplace has confirmed to me that after certain updates and bugfixes, new bugs will be introduced to the software, effectively re-breaking the tests in the act of fixing them. GMetrix clearly does not care about the students' ability to learn or about the teachers' ease of instruction. Their one and only concern is making quick contract money off a product that only is capable of teaching the test and they can't even do that very well. I would recommend every enterprise and institution terminate their dealings with this company and find a dev who actually cares for the end goal of student success in learning computer skills enough to receive professional certification.
