OBJECTIONS I HEAR A LOT
Yes. Our 3x85% guarantee says: if you score 85% or higher on our practice tests three times, you will pass the real exam. That's a money-back promise. We stand behind it because our cards come straight from official source material, verified word-for-word.
You get your money back. Full refund, no questions. If you score 85% on a DegreeOS practice test three times and still fail the real exam, we pay you back. That's the 3x85% pass guarantee. It's our bet that we got it right.
Quizlet and Anki are tools to organize flashcards. DegreeOS writes the cards for you based on the real exam blueprint, weights your study time to match what the exam actually tests, and uses AI to pick which cards you see next based on what you've forgotten. We also verify every answer against source material so you're not learning wrong info.
Yes. Before any card reaches you, it passes a verification gate that checks the answer word-for-word against official source material. Cards that don't match get thrown out. The AI helps us write and organize faster, but the gate makes sure everything is accurate.
Yes. We issue invoices for teams and employers. If your company has a learning budget, email help@degreeos.ai with your team size and we'll set up a group plan. We also integrate with Guild and other employer education platforms.
Your access ends when your subscription ends. You can pause anytime (no charge during the pause). Cancel anytime and lose nothing. You get a full refund if you cancel within 14 days.
It depends on your baseline. Most people are ready in 6 to 12 weeks if they study 30 minutes a day. Merit (our AI advisor) will tell you plainly when you're ready based on your practice test scores. Don't take the real exam until you hit 85% on our practice version three times.
We have 100+ verified exams and certifications built into DegreeOS. CompTIA (Security+, Network+, A+), AWS, Microsoft, CLEP, DSST, FINRA, Cisco, and more are all there. Check the full list on the homepage, and use Find My College to see which ones transfer to your school.
No. Our cards are written from scratch based on official exam blueprints and open source material (NIST, Wikipedia, RFC standards, federal publications). Every card includes a citation showing where the answer comes from. You can see the source for every card.
No catch. $19/month is Study Pro: unlimited access to all flashcards, practice tests, Merit messages, and an editable roadmap. You can cancel anytime. If you need priority support or are studying multiple certifications at once, Accelerator at $29/month adds that. Free stays free.
Because we don't let the AI make the final call on accuracy. Every card is verified against real source material before you see it. We've also mapped every card to the official exam blueprint, so Merit can show you exactly what parts of the exam you're weak in and weight your study time accordingly.
Yes. The free tier gives you full access to Merit (3 messages/day), the complete exam catalog, and sample flashcards from five exams. No credit card needed, no hidden restrictions. Try the full experience free for as long as you want. Upgrade to Pro when you're ready to study for real.
