When your pass expires

Every pass runs for a fixed stretch from the moment you buy — 7 days on Starter, 30 on Standard, 365 on SurePass. A Lifetime pass bought before these went on sale does not expire at all.

The exact moment

A duration pass ends at 11:59 PM Pacific, and the clock always rounds up to the end of that day. Buy Starter at 9pm and you are not left with six days and three hours — you get the seventh day in full. Your pass badge shows the date it runs to.

What happens after

Nothing is deleted, and nothing is charged. The pass simply stops opening the paid material:

• You keep your account, your highlights, your notes, your flashcard schedule, your progress and your readiness meter. All of it is still there.
• You keep the study guide's first chapter, open to read on the floor; the rest is listed and locked until you buy again.
• You lose the full question bank, the scored mock exams, the other flashcard decks, the mnemonics and the paid tutor allowance until you buy again.

Getting it back

Buy again from your exam's Choose your pass screen. Everything you did before is waiting — you never start over. If you expect to keep studying for a while, SurePass runs a full year, adds another year free if you don't pass, and is the only pass that carries retake reimbursement.

Nothing renews on its own. A pass that ends does not re-charge you and does not need canceling — see "There are no subscriptions — nothing to cancel".
