Frequently asked questions

The short version of how SciPrep works. Still stuck? Ask us directly.

Is SciPrep free?

Yes. All study content — study guides, lessons, the question bank, timed tests, mistake review, and analytics — is free.

Premium AI features (tutoring, AI grading, on-demand explanations) are planned, but payments are not live yet, so nothing is being sold. The core study experience is designed to stay free.

Which events are covered?

Today SciPrep covers the Division C event catalog. Content is added and expanded over time, so an event that is thin now may be fuller next time you visit.

How does grading work?

Multiple choice, multi-select, and numeric questions are graded instantly and automatically — you get the result and an explanation right away.

Free-response answers can be graded by AI, which reads your written answer and gives feedback. AI grading is one of the planned premium features.

Who writes the content?

The study guides, lessons, and questions are written and curated for SciPrep by its developer. It is a study tool, not an official Science Olympiad answer key.

That means mistakes are possible. If you spot one, reporting it (below) genuinely helps — corrections get made.

How do I report a wrong answer or a bug?

Two ways. Inside the app, use the report button on a question or page to flag it in context. Or send a message through the contact page.

Either way it lands in the queue and gets triaged.

Is SciPrep affiliated with Science Olympiad, Inc.?

No. SciPrep is an independent study platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Science Olympiad, Inc. Event names are referenced only so you know what you are studying.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings → Account and use the delete option. Deleting your account is permanent — it removes your login and the study data tied to it. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
