How selling works, step by step
- Register and get approved. Institutes are reviewed by the TestMint team before they can publish.
- Build your tests. See create a mock test online.
- Set a price for each paid test, or bundle tests into a pack. Free tests cost nothing to publish.
- Publish to the marketplace. Students discover your tests by exam in the marketplace and on exam pages such as the mock test directory.
- Students buy through checkout on the test page and the test appears in their dashboard.
- Earnings are recorded in your institute's earnings ledger, and payouts are processed by the TestMint team with a transaction history.
What the student pays and what you receive
Students pay the test price plus a small convenience fee at checkout, and the institute receives a share of the test price. The exact percentages are set at the platform level and shown, with a worked example, on the pricing page. A change in rates does not recalculate past sales. Optional institute subscription plans unlock features such as live tests and advanced analytics; they are separate from the per-sale share.
What to prepare before you list
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Original questions | Do not copy from books or other series; students and rights holders notice |
| Explanations for every question | Students buy for the learning; see writing explanations |
| Pattern that matches the exam | Wrong patterns lead to complaints and refunds requests |
| A free sample test | Lets students judge quality before paying |
| A clear title and description | Exam, section, number of questions and duration |
| A pricing logic | See how institutes should price mock tests |
Single tests or packs
Sell a single test for trial and topic needs, or bundle tests into a test pack at a better per-test price for students who want a series. Structure a pack with three layers: topic, sectional and full-length. See the test series platform page.
After the sale
Watch attempts, average scores and the questions students miss, fix errors quickly and update tests when the exam pattern changes. Responsive corrections are what bring repeat buyers. Students can see who created each test, so your institute's name is your reputation.
What not to promise
- Promises of ranks or selections.
- That a test is an official paper or predicts the real paper.
- Unverified claims about results.
Tests on TestMint are independent practice papers. Honest labelling protects your reputation and the platform.
