Is PrepareHow down right now?
PrepareHow status here is built from live PrepareHow down reports filed by aspirants across the country. The line jumps when mock tests freeze, paper downloads fail or pages stop opening for many visitors together. A steady low line means the site is fine and the glitch sits on your side.
Traffic peaks when a fresh test date lands or results come out. Pages slow down in that rush even on healthy days.
Is PrepareHow down for me or everyone?
To answer is PrepareHow down for me, open the same page on a second network or a second device. If it loads there, PrepareHow is up and your first connection is at fault. If both tries fail while reports here rise, the problem is shared.
What can you prepare for on PrepareHow?
The site organises material by test, with sections for MDCAT, ECAT, CSS, NTS and university admission tests. Each section holds past papers, sample papers and written guides for that exam. Syllabus notes and paper patterns sit beside the practice material.
Guides explain who can apply, what the paper holds and how marking works.
How do mock tests and MCQ practice work on the site?
Mock tests run inside the browser with a timer that mirrors the real paper. You pick a test, answer MCQs on screen and get a score at the end. A frozen timer or a submit button that spins usually points to a dropped connection mid test.
Where do past papers and sample papers live on PrepareHow?
Past papers sit inside each test section as downloadable files, sorted by year and subject. Sample papers follow the current pattern for students who finish the old papers. During a PrepareHow outage these downloads stall first, so report them here when a file refuses to start.
Does the PrepareHow app hold the same material as the site?
The Android app carries papers, MCQs and guides in a phone friendly layout. Your account ties the app and the website together.
Common PrepareHow Problems and Fixes
Most PrepareHow faults clear with simple checks on your browser or phone. Work through these fixes in order. Each one matches a problem that aspirants report again and again.
Mock test timer freezes mid paper
Do not refresh the page, since a reload wipes your marked answers. Wait half a minute for the connection to return. If the clock stays frozen, note your question number and restart the test on a steadier network.
Past paper file will not download
Try the download on a desktop browser if the phone browser stalls. Clear the browser cache when the file starts and dies at the same point each time. A fresh link from the test section often fixes a stale file.
MCQ answers not submitting in the app
Check that the app holds a live connection before you tap submit. Force close the app and reopen it if the button stays grey. Update the app when the fault repeats on every test.
Site search shows the wrong test
Search with the full test name plus the subject, such as MDCAT biology. Short words pull in guides from other tests. Use the section menus when search results look mixed.
PrepareHow pages load without images
Reload with images enabled in your browser settings. Ad blockers and data saver modes strip page graphics on this site. Turn them off for PrepareHow and refresh the page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell the PrepareHow status during entry test season?
Watch the live graph on this page. Reports rise quickly when a fault hits many aspirants at once. A calm graph means your own connection needs the fix.
Is PrepareHow free to use?
Most guides, papers and practice material on the site are free to read and download. Some app features ask for a free account before they open.
Do I need an account for mock tests on PrepareHow?
Timed mock tests ask you to sign in so the site can save your score. Reading guides and downloading past papers works without an account.
Can I download past papers from PrepareHow to study offline?
Yes, past papers download as files you can keep on your phone or computer. Print them if you want to practise on paper under exam timing.
Why does the PrepareHow app crash on my phone?
Old app builds crash on newer phones after system updates. Update the app from the store, then clear its cache. A reinstall fixes crashes that survive both steps.
Does PrepareHow cover CSS and job tests too?
Yes, alongside MDCAT and ECAT, the site holds guides and material for CSS, NTS and other job tests. Each test keeps its own section and paper archive.
