## How long will you review?

Pick a window. We show the plan that costs least for it, and what to do next.

**Your best fit** for each review window:

- **Not sure yet**: Start free, ₱0. Take a timed set first. Your results show your weakest strands, so you can judge how much review you need before you pay. [Create your free account](https://nash.com.ph/sign-up).
- **About a month**: 30-day pass, ₱1,000. A focused month of daily, timed practice with every set. Need more time? Upgrade to lifetime for ₱2,000 before your pass ends. [Get the 30-day pass](https://nash.com.ph/payment?plan=pass).
- **About two months**: Start with a 30-day pass, ₱1,000. After a month, choose: another pass for ₱1,000, or lifetime for ₱2,000 more before your pass ends. Either way, you never pay more than ₱3,000. [Get the 30-day pass](https://nash.com.ph/payment?plan=pass).
- **Three months or more**: Lifetime access, ₱3,000. Lifetime costs the same as 3 passes. Every month after that, it costs less per month than a pass, and access never expires. [Get lifetime access](https://nash.com.ph/payment?plan=lifetime).

**With an active pass**, you extend it or upgrade for the difference instead:

- **Not sure yet**: Keep practicing, Included. Take a timed set first. Your results show your weakest strands, so you can judge how much review you need before you pay. [Open practice sets](https://nash.com.ph/assessment).
- **About a month**: Add a 30-day pass, ₱1,000. Buy another pass before yours ends and we add 30 days to your current end date. Or upgrade to lifetime for ₱2,000. [Get the 30-day pass](https://nash.com.ph/payment?plan=pass).
- **About two months**: Add a 30-day pass, ₱1,000. Buy another pass before yours ends and we add 30 days to your current end date. Or upgrade to lifetime for ₱2,000. [Get the 30-day pass](https://nash.com.ph/payment?plan=pass).
- **Three months or more**: Upgrade to lifetime, ₱2,000. Your pass is active, so lifetime costs only the difference. You will have paid ₱3,000 in total, and access never expires. [Upgrade for ₱2,000](https://nash.com.ph/payment?plan=upgrade).

No automatic renewal. Practice scores are study aids, not official NASH ratings.

## Start with a month. Lifetime still costs ₱3,000.

Buy a 30-day pass for ₱1,000. If you need more time, upgrade to lifetime for ₱2,000 before your pass ends. Lifetime then costs ₱3,000 in total, the same as paying for it up front, and it never expires.

### What a pass a month costs in total

The dashed line is lifetime access, ₱3,000 once.

Highlighted in the chart: Passes cost more than lifetime. In gray: Passes cost the same or less.

**Total cost by months of review: a pass a month and lifetime access**

| Months | Passes, total | Lifetime, total |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | ₱1,000 | ₱3,000 |
| 2 | ₱2,000 | ₱3,000 |
| 3 | ₱3,000 | ₱3,000 |
| 4 | ₱4,000 | ₱3,000 |
| 5 | ₱5,000 | ₱3,000 |
| 6 | ₱6,000 | ₱3,000 |

3 passes cost ₱3,000, the same as lifetime. From month 4, passes cost more.

So for a month or two of review, a pass costs less. For 3 months or more, lifetime costs the same or less, and you never have to renew.

Over a year, lifetime works out to ₱250 a month, about ₱8 a day.

22,124 new principal positions are planned for 2026 to 2028, with 6,000 allocated for 2026. Every first appointment requires a pass.

One leader’s reach is wide. EDCOM cites research finding “a 1 standard deviation increase in management quality associated with a 0.2 to 0.4 standard deviation improvement in student performance.”
