Pro 6-month: $699 for a 180-day window on the engine. Pro 1-month is $199 a month; Pro 4-month is $599 for 120 days. The three tiers are the same product served across three durations, and as before, the duration is the only thing a candidate chooses.
The reason a third tier exists is simple: candidates plan against different test-date horizons, and the longest run deserves a window — and a per-day rate — sized for it.
Why a third duration
Candidates fall into a few patterns. One is the candidate who sits the real GMAT® inside a 120-day window and is done. Another is the candidate who is still studying at day 120, with a target test date two to three months further out — a run the two shorter tiers served poorly, because the only options were to start a fresh monthly plan or to stop short. A six-month window is the tier sized for that run.
What it is
Pro 6-month carries everything the other Pro tiers carry: unlimited engine sessions, the Mock Exam in beta since September, the running Section Analytics panel, the diagnostic on a 30-day re-take cadence, and the scaled-score and percentile readouts written against the current GMAC table. Same engine, same pool, same analytics. The 180-day window is the only thing different from a January start on Pro 1-month that ran six months.
How switching works
A Pro 1-month subscriber who wants the longer window cancels the monthly plan so it does not renew, then starts Pro 6-month. The diagnostic, the session history, and the analytics surface carry across unchanged. The single-charge 4-month and 6-month plans are prepaid once the trial ends and run to term — they are not pro-rated or refunded for a partial term. The cancellation and refund rules that apply to each plan are in the Refunds & Cancellation policy and the Terms.
What we cut
Three things are explicitly not in Pro 6-month that we considered and did not ship.
A discounted Mock Exam pack. Mock attempts are uncapped across all Pro tiers during the beta and will remain uncapped for Pro 6-month after the beta closes. We considered a per-Pro cap and decided against it; a six-month candidate sitting eight Mock Exams across that window is exactly the candidate who should be sitting them.
A pause feature. Six months is long enough that a candidate might want to pause the clock — for a work trip, a study break, a moved test date. We are not shipping pause in this release because the engine works against the candidate's response density in the rolling window, and a pause-and-resume pattern weakens that signal in ways the calibration pipeline is not yet smart enough to detect. We will revisit when the pipeline is.
Family seats. A few requests came in for a per-household plan during the 4-month window. We did not ship it. The engine works against a single candidate's response history; two candidates sharing a seat is a measurement problem masquerading as a pricing problem. The candidates who asked were nicely directed to two individual Pro 1-month accounts.
Who gets it and how
Pro 6-month is available today at /pricing for new candidates. Existing Pro 1-month and Pro 4-month subscribers see the switch option in their account screen. The diagnostic remains free; the recommended starting point is unchanged.
We will write a longer note in the spring when the first six-month cohort exits the window. The renewal- versus-churn signal at 180 days is the one we are watching most carefully — at that horizon, a candidate either sat the test inside the window, or they did not, and the second case is the harder product question. We will say what the data taught us when it has taught us something.
