Inside the Exam Pass
What the $99 actually buys you
The Free CoachPrep Study Hub gives you substantial study tools and short practice sets. The Exam Pass adds the scoring layer: the part that turns CoachPrep practice into named gaps and a clear next study target.
Exam Practice Diagnostic
Saved exam questions are grouped by knowledge, situational judgment, competency tag, and mistake type. It identifies question-performance patterns; it does not assess a live coaching session.
CoachPrep Practice Readiness Index
Bands your recent CoachPrep performance by source and flags open mistakes so you can identify what to study next. It summarizes CoachPrep practice only; it is not an official ICF score, an eligibility decision, or a pass guarantee.
Smart Mix & mistake journal
Smart Mix builds each session from your actual gaps, and the mistake journal keeps every miss until you’ve worked it. Full timed exams and the FAILURES Ladder Quiz round out the judgment training.
With Exam Pass, saved questions become a map of exam-practice patterns and the next practice target—not a live coaching-skill assessment.
Built by an ICF PCC
Every question is written and curated by Trey Henderson, an ICF Professional Certified Coach trained in ICF’s PCC Marker and ACC BARS standards, each mapped to the competency it tests, with a written rationale.

Readiness resources and progress saved across devices
Yes. The Exam Pass is a single $99 payment that unlocks the full scoring layer for 6 months. There is no subscription or auto-renewal. Nothing recurring is charged to your card.
What happens after the 6 months are up?
Your access to the paid scoring layer (timed exams, diagnostics, CoachPrep Practice Readiness Index, Smart Mix, FAILURES Quiz, and mistake journal) ends, but the Free CoachPrep Study Hub remains available, and your saved progress remains in your account. Most candidates book their exam well within the 6-month window. If you need more time later, you can buy another pass.
Do I actually need the Exam Pass to pass the exam?
No. The Free CoachPrep Study Hub gives you 18 interactive study tools, the Before You Study guided meditation, short ACC, PCC, and Ethics practice sets, three reflection prompts, Daily 10, manual Focused Practice, preparation resources, and saved progress. The Exam Pass adds full timed exams, diagnostics, the exam-focused Reflection Deck library, Smart Mix, and practice signals that identify what to study next. Those signals use CoachPrep practice data; they are not an official ICF score or a guarantee that you will pass.
How are Exam Pass Plus and Concierge different?
Exam Pass Plus adds My Plan, the AI Coaching Simulator, AI feedback on your coaching questions, Practice Insights, and deeper professional-development reflection decks to the Exam Pass. Exam Concierge adds higher-touch support: the plan, a Health Check, 30 days of Voxer support, and the Grounded Coach Exam Kit.
What is your refund policy?
You can request a refund within 7 days for an accidental purchase or brief fit check before substantial paid-tool use. Duplicate charges and unresolved access problems are handled separately. See the full refund policy.
Is my progress saved with the free Study Hub?
Yes. Create a free account and your results, streaks, and saved progress sync across devices. No Exam Pass is required. You can also practice anonymously, in which case progress stays in your browser for that session.
