Refund Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
Important: No refunds after starting an exam
Once you start a mock test, section practice, or any exam-related activity, the purchase is final and non-refundable. AI resources (question generation, audio, scoring) are consumed immediately and cannot be reversed.
1. Overview
MockTestPrepAI strives to provide a fair and transparent refund policy. Because our platform uses AI services that incur real costs the moment you start a test, refunds are limited. Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase.
2. Subscription Plans (Monthly & Yearly)
2.1 Refund Eligible (Within 48 Hours, No Activity)
You may request a full refund within 48 hours of purchasing a subscription plan, provided that:
- You have not started any mock test (full or section)
- You have not used any practice exercises
- You have not generated any AI study plans
- You have not used the AI tutor
2.2 Non-Refundable
Refunds are NOT available if:
- You have started or completed any mock test or section practice
- You have used any AI-powered feature (practice, tutor, study plan)
- More than 48 hours have passed since purchase
- The subscription has been active for more than 7 days
- You have violated our Terms of Service
2.3 Plan Expiration
MockTestPrepAI subscriptions do not auto-renew. Your plan expires at the end of the billing period (30 days for monthly, 365 days for yearly). No refunds are issued for unused days when a plan expires naturally. You can renew at any time from your dashboard.
3. Pay-Per-Test Purchases
One-time test purchases (single test, 5-pack, 10-pack, section practice) are:
- Non-refundable once a test has been generated or started
- Refundable within 48 hours if no test has been started and no credits have been used
- Test credits do not expire — use them at your own pace
4. Why Refunds Are Limited
When you start a test or use an AI feature, the following happens immediately:
- AI question generation: Each test contains 50-70 unique questions, each individually generated by AI — over 70 separate AI calls per test (cost: ~$1.50-2.00 per test)
- Audio generation: Listening and speaking sections require AI text-to-speech for each question — 20-30 audio files generated per test (cost: ~$2.50-3.50 per test)
- Speech evaluation: Each speaking response is processed through AI transcription + phoneme-level pronunciation assessment — up to 16 separate evaluations per test (cost: ~$1.50-2.00 per test)
- AI scoring: Every writing and speaking answer is individually evaluated by AI for content, grammar, coherence, and task achievement (cost: ~$1.00-1.50 per test)
A single full mock test triggers over 100 individual AI service calls across question generation, audio synthesis, speech recognition, and scoring. These costs are incurred by third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Microsoft Azure) the moment you begin and cannot be recovered. The total AI processing cost per test is $6-9, which is why we cannot offer refunds after a test has started.
5. Technical Issues
If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from completing a test (server error, scoring failure, etc.), contact us immediately at support@mocktestprepai.com. We will either:
- Provide a replacement test credit at no additional cost
- Extend your subscription period to compensate for lost time
- Issue a partial refund if the issue was caused by our platform
Technical issues must be reported within 72 hours with details (screenshot, error message, date/time).
6. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund:
- Email support@mocktestprepai.com with subject "Refund Request"
- Include your account email, purchase date, and reason for the request
- We will review your request within 2 business days
- Approved refunds are processed back to your original payment method via Stripe within 5-10 business days
