What each costs in practice
JobTestPrep sells PrepPacks as one-time purchases on licences that run from 3 days to a year, depending on the product. Its Arctic Shores pack is sold as 1 month of access. The pack pages do not show the price in their text, so check it at checkout. Its Premium plan is £99 for any 3 PrepPacks over 3 months, Spring Week and Summer Internship packs excepted.
On CogniPrep you pay once for the provider your employer uses, from £10, and keep it. If your test date moves or you apply again next year, nothing needs renewing.
Which to choose
Choose JobTestPrep if your test is one we do not cover, if you want long written study guides, or if you are preparing for several unrelated tests in one short window and the Premium plan fits them.
Choose CogniPrep if your employer uses one of our 65 providers and you want to practise its real games or tests for as long as you need, at a fixed price, with a percentile to see where you stand.
