What is being built
Three materials, the same as every Neuron Prep course.
In development · not yet available
This section describes intended scope. Nothing below can be bought or used today, and none of it is a commitment to a feature, a question count, a price or a release date.
Question Bank
Original questions written from the published syllabus and reviewed by a subject-competent reviewer, each with an explanation for every option.
Progress Tracking
Performance by section and topic, scored by the official TOLC-E rules and kept entirely separate from any other exam.
Original content only
The official TOLC question database is reserved to CISIA. No Neuron Prep question is taken from it.
An honest limit
No score here predicts admission.
Each university decides how it weights or transforms a TOLC-E result and sets its own minimum threshold. Those rules change between years and between courses.
Neuron Prep does not show a universal pass mark or an admission prediction. Check the notice published by the university and course you are applying to.
