How PrepKloud handles exam changes
Active discovery should point learners to a current, first-party-verifiable path. When a provider replaces or retires an exam, PrepKloud keeps useful legacy URLs available for existing learners, labels their status, links a successor when known, and removes the old path from default recommendations.
A legacy label can also mean that PrepKloud has preserved an older local path while its current provider availability needs confirmation. It must not be interpreted as an official retirement announcement unless an official date and source are shown.
Publication rules
New credentials require a first-party credential page, objective or study guide, an identifiable owner, and a review date. Announcements, social posts, generated catalog entries, and secondary articles are leads, not sufficient proof.
Duplicate slugs should resolve to one canonical learning package. A successor receives new version-aligned questions and projects; predecessor content is not silently relabeled.

- Confirm exam version, language, delivery, price, and policy
- Use practice material labeled for the same version
- Do not mix predecessor and successor objective scores
- Rebuild the study plan after an objective change
- Report stale status through PrepKloud feedback channels
