Frequently asked questions
What is The Climb?
The Climb is the Student plan's month-by-month college readiness plan, from 8th grade to enrollment: concrete to-dos each month with the reason they matter, deadline reminders before they're urgent, school-level checks, and a monthly review of what you finished and what to focus on next, delivered to your inbox.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your account settings. You keep access until the end of your billing period.
