Major recommendation questions
How does the scoring decide my recommended major?+
Every answer carries weights toward one or more of the 18 major families. When you finish, the weights are totalled on your device and the family with the highest overall score becomes your recommended major, with the next strongest families shown as alternatives.
What is the preview step before payment?+
After you submit the 100 questions, a preview page summarizes what your answers say about your work style, subject interests, and mindset. It uses the exact options you selected, so you can judge whether the assessment understood you before unlocking.
How is the USD 4.99 payment handled?+
Payment is a single USD 4.99 charge processed securely through PayPal using a PayPal balance, debit card, or credit card. Once the payment is verified, your full recommendation unlocks immediately on screen.
Where can I see my result after unlocking?+
Your unlocked recommendation stays available on the result page in the same browser. You can read it, screenshot it, or return to it later from the same device and browser.
What is a Holland Code and why is it included?+
The Holland Code (RIASEC) groups people into six interest types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Your unlocked report shows your three-letter code with all six scores, which helps you connect your major recommendation to broader career families.
