Test was fun, interface was great, took one star off because I was told it’d be free and turned out to be 1.95€ instead. Still, the email i received immediately after payment made it clear it was a su... See more

This website is a scam. They intentionally hide the fact that purchasing a test result signs you up for a £39/month subscription. There is no clear warning during checkout or in emails, making it... See more

It's a scam
It's a scam
I paid 0,49€ to receive my results, and I did not receive anything, neither on the website or via email (but my bank account is debited)
+ Fortunately I see all the bad reviews here so I blocked my card to avoid the 39€ monthly subscription on 2 days, because when I try to cancel it on the site it does not work and via email I have no answer
+ IT IS NOT WRITTEN CLEARLY THAT WE HAVE TO PAY 39€ / MONTH AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD, even in the T&Ça
IT IS A SCAM, shame on you
And to anyone reading this I recommend to don't waste your time with this website

Hi Jocelyn,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we completely understand how upsetting this must have been for you. Please know that it’s never our intention to cause confusion or stress, we truly care about each of our customers and want to help resolve this as quickly as possible.
Regarding your results, they should have been available right after payment, and a confirmation email is normally sent automatically. It’s possible there was a typo in the email address, but we’d be more than happy to look into this and make sure you receive everything you paid for.
We also take pride in the transparency of our service. The €0.49 trial and the €39/month subscription are shown during the sign-up process and are explained in the Terms & Conditions, but we understand that these details can sometimes be missed. If the cancellation didn’t work for you, that’s something we take very seriously and would like to investigate.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us again at support@iq-academy.org with the email address you used when signing up, we look forward to taking care of this and make it right.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly hope to turn this experience around for you.
Warmly,
The IQ Academy Team

Good test but inexperienced candidate
I can't give a review based on experience because I've never done a test like this before so I can hardly rate by former knowledge.

Disgusting scam company
Disgusting company. Says they only charge .99aud, no mention of signing up for a subscription. Will charge you $59 monthly afterwards. Can't cancel the subscription through their website, bot is useless. Do not use this. Absolute scam

SCAM ARTISTS - AVOID!!!
SCAM ARTISTS - AVOID!!!
Did the IQ test - nowhere upfront did it say I'd have to pay. Get to the end and it wants 49p from me. Thought, okay, no problem - and paid it. I screenshotted the screen which said 49p for 48 hours access - that's it. Nothing about any additional fees, nothing about a subscription, just 49p. Fine.
Few days later, they try to take £39.99 from my bank for a subscription I didn't consent to! Luckily my bank stopped the transaction but I've had to order a new bank card now. Avoid like the plague./
