Online Subscriptions
When do the subscription prices change?

For subscriptions which are based around exam dates, we usually change the prices and add new subscriptions around a week before the exam date. Please note that this may vary from time to time. You can contact us to ask when a specific subscription is likely to be added / change in price.

Where do the online questions come from?

Our online questions are written by a team of exam-specific editors, all of whom have passed the exam they're writing for.

Questions are based on exam themes and publicly available past questions, as well as the exam curriculum / syllabus. All have been written specifically for Pastest. With very few exceptions (approximately 5% of MRCPCH FOP/TAS) the questions are written exclusively for Pastest online subscriptions and are different to the questions in Pastest books.

I've submitted feedback about a question, how long does it take to be answered?

We know how important it is to keep our content up-to-date and relevant, and we value your help in doing this.

We have provided feedback buttons throughout our site so that you can let us know your opinion or submit a query about a question. We aim to respond to queries as soon as possible but we cannot guarantee a response time, especially if your query has had to be referred to an online editor.

We respond to queries directly related to our products and questions only; we do not provide a medical reference service. We operate a zero-tolerance policy for abusive/aggressive language.

How do I extend my subscription to the next exam sitting?

If you purchased your subscription in the last 14 days, contact us. We can cancel your current subscription and refund your payment so that you can then purchase a longer exam subscription. If your request is more than two weeks after your purchase, you will need to purchase a new subscription once your current one expires.

My exam date isn't the same as the one advertised, can I extend it?

The majority of our subscriptions are based around UK exam dates. We understand that a number of our subscribers use our products for variants of these exams such as Irish, Australian or Hong Kong exam dates. Within reason we can extend subscriptions to match these exam dates. If this applies to you, please contact us to discuss this further.

USMLE subscriptions: Do I really have access up to my exam date?

You do! To ensure we don't have thousands of dormant subscriptions out there though, the resource is set to expire two years after purchase. If you find you need access for longer, simply send an email to enquiries@pastest.com in your final month (you'll see a reminder on your dashboard) and we'll move your end date.
