Editorial standards

How PrepTrack researches and maintains public guidance.

This policy describes the source hierarchy, validation rules, update practices, and correction process used for PrepTrack's public educational content.

Last reviewed August 2, 2026

Source priority

Date-sensitive and policy-sensitive claims should be grounded in the organization responsible for the exam or decision.

  • Acuity Insights is the primary source for current CASPer format, policies, dates, and distribution rules.
  • The AAMC is the primary source for current PREview format, scores, dates, registration, and participating-school information.
  • Individual program websites are the primary source for program-specific admissions requirements.
  • PrepTrack product pages are the source for current PrepTrack features, access, and pricing.

Review rules

Public articles are checked for metadata completeness, heading structure, readable tables, internal-link integrity, and unsupported high-risk claims. Separate quality checks are used to flag excessive keyword repetition, duplicated resource sections, and links that do not resolve to the intended PrepTrack page.

Automated checks support consistency, but they do not turn an estimate or interpretation into an official fact. Where an official answer is available, the responsible testing organization or school takes priority.

Updates and corrections

Pages about testing calendars, registration, score timing, fees, schools, accommodations, and technical requirements may change between application cycles. PrepTrack updates these pages when newer official information is identified and records substantive updates in article metadata.

To report a factual issue, include the page URL, the statement in question, and a supporting official source in an email to info@preptrack.org.

Editorial boundaries

  • PrepTrack does not present independent practice results as official CASPer or PREview scores.
  • School requirements are not treated as permanent and should be confirmed before an application decision.
  • Articles should not promise admission, interviews, quartiles, or PREview scores.
  • Preparation guidance is educational information, not an official instruction from an exam owner or school.
