Question 1

What age group is this quiz designed for?

Accepted Answer

PhishTested is designed for two groups most targeted by scammers: teens getting their first devices and seniors who face increasingly sophisticated threats. Our content is tailored to each audience while being accessible to anyone wanting to improve their online safety skills.

Question 2

How much does PhishTested cost?

Accepted Answer

PhishTested offers three plans: a One Time Quiz for $4.99, a Monthly Subscription for $1.99/month, and a Yearly Subscription for $19.99/year. You can see sample questions for each topic on our sample questions page before purchasing.

Question 3

How often is new content added?

Accepted Answer

We update our quiz questions regularly to reflect the latest scam techniques. New phishing tactics emerge constantly, so we work to keep our content current and relevant.

Question 4

Can teachers use this in classrooms?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many teachers use PhishTested as part of their digital citizenship curriculum. The quiz works great on school devices and doesn't require accounts to get started.

Question 5

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No account is required to view the sample questions. However, creating an account and purchasing a plan lets you take the full quiz with randomized questions, track your progress over time, see which topics you've mastered, and compete on leaderboards.

Question 6

What should I do if I encounter a real phishing attempt?

Accepted Answer

Don't click any links or download attachments. Report the message to the platform (email provider, social media, etc.) and delete it. If you've already clicked something suspicious, change your passwords immediately and tell a trusted adult.

Question 7

Why don't you collect personal information for children?

Accepted Answer

Protecting minors is core to how PhishTested is built. We don't ask for or store personal information — email addresses, birthdates, phone numbers, or contact details — for any child in a family account. The only thing we store is a name or nickname the parent enters when adding a child profile.
