Common questions
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Monthly subscribers can cancel before their next billing date. Annual subscriptions are non-refundable after 7 days but you keep access until the period ends.
How many questions are in the bank?
We are actively building the question bank. Every question is written to NBME item-writing standards with full trap analysis and strategy notes — we prioritize quality over quantity.
Is 280Bound a replacement for UWorld?
280Bound is a complement and, for many students, a superior alternative. Where UWorld focuses on volume, 280Bound focuses on teaching you how to think. Many top scorers use both.
Do the free questions include explanations?
Yes. Free users get full trap explanations and strategy notes on every question — no paywalling the parts that matter most.
