Frequently asked questions.

How free access, passes, payment and the study tools work. Can’t find your answer? Email support@mrcpsychprep.com.

Trying and buying

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Each paper has five sample questions with worked explanations and the textbook source, with no account or card: Paper A or Paper B. A free account then unlocks the starting check: 20 questions across the paper, then your weakest topics and what to read.

What does a pass include?

Your pass covers Paper A and Paper B: every question with a worked explanation and the textbook source, two timed 150-question mock exams for each paper, smart revision that brings back what you got wrong, a readiness score and a week-by-week study plan to your sitting. Paid once, with no subscription and no automatic renewal.

Does one pass cover Paper A and Paper B?

Yes. Every pass, whether 3, 6 or 12 months, includes both written papers and every feature. You only choose how long you need.

Will I be charged again automatically?

No. A pass is a single payment through Lemon Squeezy. There is no subscription and no automatic renewal. When your pass ends, you can buy another if you need more time.

When does my access start?

As soon as Lemon Squeezy confirms your payment, usually within a minute. Your pass then appears in your dashboard, and its length counts from that moment.

Do prices include VAT?

Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record for MRCPsych Prep. It takes the payment, works out any tax that applies where you live and shows you the final price before you pay.

Can I cancel and get a refund?

You can cancel within 14 days of buying, as long as you haven’t started using the question bank. When you buy, you ask for access to start straight away, so the right to cancel ends once you start using it. If anything is faulty or not as described, you keep your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Read cancellations and refunds.

I’m on the old monthly plan. What happens?

It keeps working as before until you cancel it. You can manage or cancel it from your Account page, or from the link on your Lemon Squeezy receipt.

Studying

How do the timed mock exams work?

Each paper has two timed mock exams of 150 questions in 3 hours, like the real paper. You get no feedback until you submit. Then you see your score by topic, every explanation and what to read first.

How does smart revision work?

Questions you get wrong go into revision. Each one comes back after 10 minutes, then after 1, 3 and 7 days. Questions you get right first time don’t come back, so your time goes where it is needed.

What is the readiness score?

A study guide built from how much of the bank you have covered, your first-attempt accuracy, how well you hold on to what you have learnt and your timed mock exams. It appears after 50 questions across 3 topics. It is a study guide, not a prediction of your result.

How does the study plan work?

It sets out week by week what to cover before your sitting, and it is rebuilt from your own answers as you go. Until the Royal College of Psychiatrists publishes the next sitting dates, it gives you a 12-week plan.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. MRCPsych Prep runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install. Your progress is saved to your account, so you can pick up on any device.
