Why Both Matter

Accessible support and sustainable growth

Preparing for teacher certification exams can be stressful, time-consuming, and expensive. StudyBuddyCST should help reduce that pressure, not add to it.

The free tier gives future educators a real place to begin. Paid options help fund the work behind the platform: building features, writing practice content, improving explanations, and keeping the site useful over time.

The goal is balance. Students should be able to start studying without a paywall, and those who want deeper support should have clear options that directly support continued growth.

Questions

Common questions

Will there still be free resources?

Yes. StudyBuddyCST will continue to offer meaningful free access so future educators can begin studying without paying first.

Why add paid options?

Paid access helps support the time, care, platform costs, and content work required to keep improving the study experience.

Can I pay for just one exam?

That is the goal. Individual exam access is planned for students who want targeted support without a full subscription.
