Our reviews and recommendations are based on merit, not commission rates. We provide honest pros and cons for every product we feature.

📢 Clear Disclosure

We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships whenever we share affiliate links, as required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

HOW AFFILIATE LINKS WORK

When you click on an affiliate link on our website:

There is no additional cost to you - prices remain the same

Example: If we recommend a book for JEE preparation with an Amazon affiliate link, and you purchase that book through our link, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale.
