Restricted Topics

We recommend that you reach out to the Trust & Safety team before building an exam on any of the following topics to ensure it will be eligible for publication. Please include as much detail as possible. 

It is the examiner’s responsibility to ensure their exam follows the letter and the spirit of the policy when submitting to the Quality Review Process. While the Trust & Safety Team will guide examiners around smaller fixes, extensive coaching on how to build or update an exam is not available.

Sensitive or otherwise inappropriate topics or language

As a global prepping platform with examinees ranging from casual hobbyists to professional enterprise customers, we must take into consideration many sensitivities when evaluating content. 

We will examine not only the kind of topic under discussion but also how those topics are presented. When providing instruction on a sensitive subject area, ensure that all associated exam materials treat that subject with care. Avoid language and imagery which is inflammatory, offensive, or otherwise insensitive.

Content for young people

Prepzo is not currently set up to support underage examinees. Persons under the age of consent (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland) may not use the services. Those under 18 but above the age of consent may use the services only if a parent or guardian opens their account, handles any enrollments, and manages their account usage. 

As such, please ensure any subject matter-oriented towards young examinees is clearly marketed to parents and guardians who will be supervising their learning. 

How to report abuse

We reserve the right to add to and modify this list at any time. If you see a topic that you believe should not be on the platform, raise it for Prepzo support team.
