Common questions
Is this a subscription?
No. Both paid plans are a single one-time payment. The 90-Day Pass gives you access for 90 days; nothing auto-renews and there is nothing to cancel.What if I don't pass?
Study the material, reach the mastery gate on every objective, and complete at least one full mock exam. If you still don't pass, send us your official score report and we'll extend your access for free so you can keep preparing. Full conditions are in our Terms.Can I upgrade from the Pass to Lifetime later?
Yes. You can buy Lifetime at any time from this page or Settings, and it takes effect immediately.Should I wait for the new version of the exam?
Not if you can sit SY0-701 by June 11, 2027. CompTIA's Security+ V8 (SY0-801) is expected to launch on or around November 17, 2026, and both exams earn the same certificate: it reads "CompTIA Security+" with no version on it and is valid for 3 years either way. Passing the current exam costs you nothing later, and waiting costs you months of not being certified.What happens when CompTIA updates the exam?
Lifetime includes future exam-version updates, so Lifetime members get our Security+ V8 material free when we release it. A 90-Day Pass covers SY0-701 for your 90 days, which is why the free update is a Lifetime line and not a Pass line. The CompTIA exam fee is separate from anything we charge.How much can I try before paying?
All of Domain 1 is free: full lessons, quizzes with performance-based questions in them, and spaced review. When you set a test date, the 90-Day Pass is the plan we'd point you to.Is 90 days enough time to prepare?
For most people, comfortably. Typical Security+ prep runs 4 to 8 weeks of steady studying, so 90 days covers a full pass through all five domains plus mock exams and review with room to spare. Set your exam date and the dashboard tracks your readiness against it. And if you put in the work and still do not pass, the pass guarantee extends your access free.Is my payment secure?
Yes. Checkout runs through Stripe, and your card details go straight to Stripe over an encrypted connection. We never see or store your card number, so there is nothing on our end to leak.Can I get a refund?
Yes, and you do not have to argue for it. Email us within 14 days of your purchase and we refund it in full, no reason needed. Paid access ends when the refund goes through, and buying again later is not held against you. Full conditions are in our Terms.
Start free. Decide when you set a date.
All of Domain 1 is free, no card required. Once the exam is on your calendar, one payment opens the rest of the blueprint.
