What's free and what needs a license

The free account includes a diagnostic, score report, and previews. An exam license unlocks the full study plan and tools.

Last updated July 30, 2026

A free account lets you take the diagnostic, keep the full score report, and preview the study library and flashcard decks. No credit card is required and nothing converts into a charge automatically.

An exam license is a one-time purchase for a specific exam. It unlocks the personalized study plan, practice questions, license-included flashcard decks, progress checks, and the rest of the paid preparation tools for that exam. The catalog shows the exact contents and current price before checkout.

No subscription

StudyHaul does not bill on a recurring schedule. There is nothing to cancel and no renewal date. A license runs for a fixed access window that starts when you activate it.

Common questions

Can I browse without taking the diagnostic?

Yes. A free account gives you flashcard deck previews and a study library preview. The diagnostic is there when you're ready.

When does paid access begin?

Access begins when you activate the license, under the terms shown at purchase. Buying and activating are separate steps, so the access window doesn't start until you choose.
