Weprepyou.com Releases BKSB Practice Tests for Only $1.99

WePrepYou.com, an online education startup focused on assessment preparation, has launched a new set of BKSB practice tests aimed at students and adult learners preparing for functional skills assessments. The tests are priced at $1.99, well below the pricing of most existing commercial BKSB prep tools. BKSB (Basic Key Skills Builder) assessments are commonly used across the UK and Australia to benchmark literacy and numeracy levels for workplace training and vocational education. While free sample questions are available, high-quality practice tests and adaptive drills have traditionally been paywalled, often at substantially higher prices. WePrepYou’s new offering includes timed mock exams, instant scoring, and breakdowns of strengths and weaknesses. The company says its goal is to lower barriers for learners seeking functional skills qualifications. “We noticed a lot of users couldn’t justify spending $20–$60 just to practice for a diagnostic,” a spokesperson said. “$1.99 makes it accessible for students, jobseekers, and training organizations.” The platform plans to expand into additional competency-based assessments over the next year, including industry certifications and apprenticeship readiness tests. According to the company, early testers include several workforce development organizations and FE (Further Education) tutors. More information is available on WePrepYou.com
