Problem Background
Problem Background
So, getting into college through UTBK? It's like trying to solve a really tricky puzzle. We chatted with three friends, and guess what they all said? Finding study materials for UTBK is a big headache. Yeah, you can find stuff on the internet and social media, but it's all over the place. Imagine needing something and not having a one-stop-shop for all things UTBK. On top of that, lots of students are feeling lost, not sure where to start, and they could use some help figuring out how to get ready for UTBK.
So, here's the idea: let's create an app or a cool space just for these students. An app that makes studying for UTBK super easy by bringing together all the materials, giving practice questions, and sharing useful tips. This way, students can start their UTBK prep without feeling stressed and without all the distractions that come with using social media for studying.
Our survey with 50 students using Google Forms spilled the beans on three big problems they're facing: feeling overwhelmed by tons of study materials (37 people), stressing out while studying (29 people), and dealing with distractions like phones (24 people). Armed with this info, we're on a mission to create a platform that tackles these issues, making UTBK preparation way easier for these students.

Emphatise Phase
Emphatise Phase
During this phase, our focus was on researching and understanding the challenges faced by our target users. The goal was to develop a product that aligns with the genuine needs of the users. The process began by formulating questions for interviews, such as:
What kind of challenges did you encounter before starting to study for UTBK?
When studying for UTBK, what difficulties did you face?
If you study and find study materials on social media, how much distraction or interference do you experience?
Do you ever feel bored while studying for UTBK? How do you usually overcome that boredom?
These questions were designed to uncover the real struggles and pain points of prospective UTBK students. By empathizing with their experiences, we aimed to gain insights that would inform the development of a product tailored to address their specific needs and challenges.

Define Phase
Define Phase
Alright, after diving into our research, we got a bunch of insights and a handful of challenges from chatting with potential users. Now, it's time to define these issues and shape them into clear problems we can tackle head-on. Think of it like creating a roadmap for our design journey.

So, we crafted a few user personas to help us articulate the problems better. Here's the lowdown on the challenges we've pinpointed:
Imagine studying for UTBK, and every time you open your study materials on social media, distractions hit you left and right. It's like trying to focus in a busy market!
Some folks out there are on the lookout for study buddies online. They want someone to discuss questions with, share their thoughts, or just have a virtual study buddy to navigate the UTBK journey together.
Picture this: a user standing at the foot of a mountain of study materials, unsure where to start. Yep, that's the challenge—too much info and not knowing where to dive in.
We found a group of users who crave a supportive learning atmosphere. They need that boost to keep them going strong.
Ever tried searching for UTBK materials and felt like you were in a maze, especially if you're not exactly a tech guru? Yeah, a lot of users feel the same way.
And then there's the struggle of figuring out the perfect study schedule. It's like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces.
