The terms say a purchased credit is "generally non‑refundable," with a possible refund if you use no credits within 14 days. A mock needs at least 60 seconds of active interaction, or the credit is still used.
Feedback and document review
Each mock and single question gets an overall score, strengths, areas to improve with suggestions, and a summary.
