great way to have you stop and think about how thing go chronologically in order. love how it is not a timed quiz so it helps not to feel rushed when making a decision on which answer is best for each... See more

Unprompted review
If you don't cancel your trial immediately, you will be charged for a monthly subscription.
After my free trial for IQ Academy ended, I followed through with the email instructions and opted for an account cancellation so I was not charged CAD59.99 for a monthly subscription. The website wasn’t letting me cancel, as the buttons weren’t doing anything when I was clicking them (it seemed as though the website might have been down). I then reached out to the company using the customer support email *4 times* over the span of a week because they ended up charging my account the CAD$59.99 anyways, because my 48 hour trial *technically* expired even though I was desperately trying to cancel. After a week of emails, they finally answered and decided to go through with a refund, which I am very thankful for. I guess you just need to be careful when reading the terms of service, because they will charge you for a subscription without explicitly saying so from the start. Though I had a relatively unpleasant experience here, I did end up getting the help I needed in the long run (not without lots and lots of effort).

Scam scam scam SCAM SCAM.
Scam scam scam SCAM SCAM.
ALL THE 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE BOTS OR THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
THEY WILL MAKE HOU PAY £0.49 FOR RESULT AND TELL YOU THAT AFTER 2 DAYS PAYMENT OF 39.99 WILL BE TAKEN OUT.
I THOUGHT OK ILL PAY AND THEN CANCEL IT IN 2 DAYS. AFTER I FOUND OUT THERES NO CONTACT NUMBER AND THEIR ONLINE CHAT SERVICE REFUSES TO CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION. THEY HAVENT REPLIED TO ME IN 3 DAYS NOW AND THATS WEEKDAYS NOT WEEKEND!
PLEASE AVOID THIS SCAM COMPANY, I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW THEY ARE EVEN OPERATING LIKE THIS. FULL ON SHADY COMPANY LOOKING FOR LOOP HOLES AND ROB PEOPLE OF THEIR MONEY.
IM IN THE MIDDLE OF CANCEL AND TRYING TO GET A REFUND THROUGH MY BANK. GONNA GET THIS SCAM COMPANY PUT ON BLOCK LIST ON MY ACCOUNT SO NO FUTURE PAYMENTS ARE TAKEN.

Scamming degenerates.
Scamming & now edited "gaslighting" degenerates. a FREE test, turns into 49p which turns into £39.
I couldn't find any reference to it being a "free test" after the completing it, that was until I disabled cookies / viewed the search in incognito mode.
One google sponsored message (the initial you will see) says "Take a free IQ test".
After the using their website (cookies on) and repeating the google search the sponsored message says "Unlock IQ insights" (note the "free" bit has gone). I have screenshots of both in case they change it.
The scam is after stupidly wasting 20 minutes on the form like me, you come up to a payment page. No overt Information about payment until you complete test (after 10-15 minutes or so). As you have sunk time you think "oh just 49p" ok then. Then you sign yourself Into a £39 payment if you don't cancel.
I tried to cancel they still haven't. Probably because i was rude, but they deserve it. I'd post the screenshots if i could.
I've reported their practices to their Virtual Offices provider, basically their 'fake' address (Capital Offices in London), a virtual office they use to make their company look more legit by giving it a EC1 London postcode.
I will probably report ACORN EDUSOLUTIONS LTD (the underlying company of iq-academy) Company number 15109606 to the insolvency lot at companies house for dishonest practices.
Total degenerate scum behaviour.

Pretty much same experience as others
Pretty much same experience as others. Spent £0.49 to get results for an IQ test, and then got charged £39.99. Fortunately my bank blocked that payment, and I terminated the subscription.
I hate these type of frauds where they trick you into a subscription.
