General Topics

I purchased an item, but it looks like I was charged twice.

The way our payment processing is set up, a pre-authorization occurs when your order is placed. Later, the payment is captured and that pre-authorization is voided. This pre-authorization will show up as “Pending” or “Authorization Request.” It is common for financial institutions to delay releasing the voided authorization on their end which causes the appearance of a double-charge. This is most likely the cause of the apparent double-charge on your account. If the pre-authorization charge does not disappear from your statement, you will need to contact your bank.

In rare cases, a card will actually be charged twice for the same order due to an error in the order processing. In those situations, you should see the same charge posted (not pending) twice in your bank or credit card account. Please notify our Customer Service team (888-784-1290) so that we can reverse the duplicate charge for you.

How do I access the online item I just purchased?

Log in to your account by clicking ‘Account Login’ in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Once you have successfully logged in, click on ‘Purchased Online Products’ on the left-hand side of the screen. Under the ‘Download’ column, click on the product you wish to open. For online job applications, if the link is not clickable, it is because you have already completed it or the job has expired. For online study materials, if the link is not on your product list, then the item has already expired. The expiration date is 365 days from date of purchase. Please allow up to 24 hours from purchase time for your order to sync to your account.

What are the system requirements to view online study guides, take online practice tests, or watch preparation videos?

We support the following Operating Systems: Windows and Mac. Supported browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari and Mozilla Firefox. Our online study guides are compatible with a PC, Mac, Ipad and Ipad Mini, but not compatible with Android Smartphones or Iphones. Preparation videos are only compatible with a PC. Microsoft Silverlight is required and a link to download it is provided when you purchase a video item.

I can no longer access the online study guide or practice test that I purchased.

Access to online study guides and practice tests is only good for 365 days from the date of purchase. Your online item will no longer be accessible once it expires. The item’s expiration date is displayed on your Purchased Online Products list.

Can I buy an online study guide, practice test, job application, or job board subscription for someone else?

Online study guides, practice tests, job applications, and job board subscriptions can only be accessed online through your account using your iosolutions.com username and password. These online items cannot be transferred to another person’s account.

How long will it take to receive the refund I requested?

Refunds are available ONLY for hard copy materials. Requests for refunds must be made within 10 business days of the original order. Refunds take approximately 5-7 business days to process, depending on your financial institution.

Study Guides

I can access and print my online study guide from home, but I can't do it from my workplace.
Some companies have very tight security with regards to their network. This may prevent you from opening or printing your online product. This is beyond our control, but we suggest that you open and print the document from your home, a friend’s computer, or a public library.
How do I download and save my online study guide?
Our online products cannot be saved or downloaded. Online products must be viewed via our website by logging into your account, or you can print your purchased online products.
How can I exchange a hard copy version of a study guide for an online version?
We typically do not allow study guide returns. However, if the item is in perfect condition (meaning we can re-sell it), then the item can be returned to our office. We will issue a refund once we receive the item and inspect its condition. You can purchase the correct study guide via our website. If we have not shipped the item yet, then we can cancel your previous order and you can purchase the online version.

Online Practice Tests

After completing a practice test, can I go back and review the results?
Upon completion of most interactive online practice tests, there is an option to review your correct and incorrect answers. Additionally, upon completion of a practice test, a link is provided to view your past results (if you have previously taken it).
My online practice test is missing pictures.
It is likely that your browser is blocking the images. To set Internet Explorer to display pictures:

1. Open Internet Explorer, click the tools button, and then click Internet options.
2. On the Advanced Tab, under Multimedia, check the Show Pictures check box, and click OK.
3. Close your browser. Log back in to the website and resume the practice test.

How many times can the online practice test be taken?
You can take your online practice test as many times as you would like, as long as it has not expired. The expiration date, which is 365 days from the date of purchase, can be viewed on your list of Purchased Online Products.


Job Applications/Job Boards

I get an "Internal Server Error" when I confirm my job application.
Go back to the pages where you entered data, starting from the “Profile” section. Be sure to hit “Save and Continue.” If there is a required field that was not filled out, then the system will prompt you to complete the field. Confirm your application after all pages have been submitted. If the error persists, contact us for further assistance.
I am unable to open the job application on my Mac.
While holding the Control key on your keyboard, click the link and select “Open Link in a New Tab” to open the item in a new tab. This should allow you to access the application.
I don't meet all of the minimum requirements for an application. Can I get a refund?
It is solely your responsibility to ensure that you meet the minimum requirements of an application before choosing to purchase that particular application. Minimum requirements for each department can be found on the job application product page prior to your purchase. Please be aware that you will not be refunded your job application fee if you apply and do not meet the minimum requirements listed.
What is my application confirmation number? Do I need to include it with my application?
The application confirmation number is a number that you will receive once your application is submitted. Your confirmation number is solely for your records so that you’re aware that your application has been completed. Your application will not be penalized if you do not include your confirmation number with your required documents/application.
Can I be refunded for a job application?
Job application fees are non-refundable. You will not be issued a refund for your application should you be deemed ineligible to attend the exam, do not meet the minimum requirements for that department, do not have enough time to complete the application, are unable to make the scheduled exam date, or decide you no longer want to test with that department.
