The results of the preliminary examination are about to be announced, but at this critical moment"The graduate school bug collapsed"unexpectedly appeared in the survey.
On the evening of Feb. 21, a student of the exam bug posted a shocking message online. According to the news, the English course for the 2025 exam he signed up for was suddenly notified that the course had to be stopped due to the cancellation of the program.
Exam Bug is a leading teaching institution focusing on the exam training of college students, which has attracted much attention in the market in recent years. The product line of Exam Worm is very rich, not only covering traditional examination courses such as Level 4 and 6 English and postgraduate entrance examinations, but also advanced courses such as studying abroad and practical English, as well as special courses such as teacher recruitment examinations, and is committed to providing users with complete test preparation solutions.
The course products of the exam bug have been highly praised, its live courses are fresh and interactive, the teaching and auxiliary materials are detailed and targeted, and the practice services are even more intimate. In addition, Exam Worm also provides a full range of exam preparation services such as offline exam products to help students achieve better exam results.
However, some netizens have recently reported that the paid courses on the official website of Kaobao are displayed as"Suspension of classes"or free of charge, and many students who have already paid the fee have also received refund notices. According to the *** graph provided by the respondents,"We regret to inform you that the English Level 4 and 6 Winter Vacation Course you have registered for will be suspended due to program cancellation, and we will refund you within 10 working days without returning the textbooks. "
This news has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions. This is undoubtedly a big blow for many students who have already paid for their courses. However, the exam bug has apologized and promised to deal with the cancellation and refund of the course as soon as possible. At the same time, for students who have already purchased courses, the exam bug also provides corresponding compensation measures.
As the former co-founder of Kaoworm.com and a well-known English teacher for postgraduate entrance examinations, Shi Leipeng expressed his feelings in a post on the 22nd. He said that it is inevitable to feel a little sad to see the once glorious examination bug network go into decline. At the same time, he also said that when the company was liquidated, the company had paid N+1 compensation to employees and refunded all the tuition fees of the students who paid the tuition, which showed a decent posture worthy of praise.
On the same day, Li Shanglong, who was certified as the co-founder of Examworm on Weibo, also published an article confirming the news of Exambug's closure. He said he initially saw the news online and then confirmed the fact with another co-founder. For him, exambugThe closure of com marked the end of an era.
Many netizens also expressed their feelings and memories. "I really want to cry, my class is over and my starlight is fading"。"I've been using exambug all over college and it's gone, why? More netizens were grateful, recalling the times they had struggled. "Yikes! I'm big.
Fourth, the sixth year is all based on exams! "Another netizen said:"Thank you for having you, the fourth and sixth grades and the graduate school entrance examination are all thanks to you. "It can be seen that the exam virus has left a deep imprint on many people's study careers.
At the same time, many netizens expressed regret over the closure of exambug. "Examworm has been with me throughout my student life. "A netizen lamented while recalling the good times spent with examworm. "The first knowledge payment went to Examworm"。Another user wrote that she recalled her first attempt at knowledge payment. Another user said sadly:"My college years are also over..."。
Why did the once absolutely popular "The Examiner" go bankrupt?
From Shi Leipeng's article published on his personal ***, we can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the decline of the examination bug. He admitted frankly that things are wrong, people are wrong, money is wrong, and three things are wrong, which became the reason why he decided to leave. This not only exposed ExamWorm's management problems, but also reflected disharmony and contradictions within the team.
One former principal even mentioned it in an article,"Exam bugs"The demise of the was foreshadowed. In the past, due to a series of problems such as management decision-making errors, internal contradictions, and the resignation of founding teachers, the examination bug gradually declined.
Another former principal revealed that back in May 2022, exambug began optimizing and disbanding the program and began mass layoffs. Fortunately, some of my colleagues were fairly compensated at the time. This news further confirms the management problems of Kao Worm Education, and also shows the deterioration of its business conditions. Based on the above information, we can see that the problem of exam bug education is not formed overnight, but after a period of accumulation and development. From management mistakes to intensifying internal contradictions, from the departure of founding teachers to large-scale layoffs, this series of problems indicates that the examination bug education is going bankrupt. For Shi Leipeng and other colleagues who left, leaving may have been a wise decision, as they realized that the future of Kaoworm was not bright.
