How Much Does 240 Tutoring Cost?
240 Tutoring costs $49.99 per month. That's it — no tiered plans, no per-exam fees, no annual commitment. One subscription unlocks every study guide in the test series you're preparing for, and you can cancel anytime. If you're studying for the Praxis, $49.99 gets you access to every Praxis guide. Same for TExES, FTCE, and the other test series 240 covers.
Below is what's actually included, how the cost stacks up against retaking your exam, and a few things worth knowing before you put in your card number.
What you get for $49.99 a month
One subscription includes every study guide within a single test series. If you're prepping for the Praxis Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5001), you also have access to Praxis Core, every other Praxis subject test, and the ParaPro — all at the same price.
Inside each guide:
- A diagnostic practice test that maps your starting score against the exam's content categories
- A personalized study plan built from that diagnostic — the platform prioritizes the categories where you scored lowest
- Text-based lessons and instructional videos covering every tested standard
- 1,000+ practice questions per guide, with dynamic quizzes that adjust as you improve
- Three full-length, timed practice tests that mirror the real exam's structure
- Flashcards for content review
- Constructed-response practice prompts for exams that require written responses
- Test-taking strategies available from a sidebar in every guide
Before you commit $49.99, the free practice test is the cleanest way to find out if the content style works for you. It uses the same format and difficulty as the paid practice tests.
Is $49.99 a month worth it?
Bottom Line:
$49.99 a month is worth it if it prevents one exam retake. Most teacher certification exams cost $58–$160 per attempt, so one month of 240 ($49.99) costs less than one retake of nearly any exam.
It's worth doing this math honestly, because the answer isn't always "subscribe." Here are the numbers most candidates run through:
- Praxis exams range from $50 to $209, depending on the specific test. Praxis Core is $90 per subtest or $150 for the combined test; Elementary Education (Multiple Subjects) is $64 per subtest or $180 for the combined test; Principles of Learning and Teaching is $146; most Subject Assessments and Special Education tests fall between $130 and $180 (verified May 2026 at ets.org)
- TExES exams cost $116 for most standard exams, $136 for reading and diagnostic exams (Science of Teaching Reading, ELAR 4–8), and $200 for specialty and leadership exams (Principal as Instructional Leader, School Counselor). Partial retakes of multi-subject tests like Core Subjects run about $58 per subtest (verified May 2026 at tx.nesinc.com)
- FTCE exams range from $32.50 to $150 , depending on the test and the number of subtests. The General Knowledge full battery runs $130; most Subject Area Examinations are $150 (verified May 2026 at fl.nesinc.com)
- Most exams require a 21- to 60-day wait before you can retake
If 240 shortens your prep enough to pass on the first try — or saves you a retake you would have failed without it — one month of subscription costs less than almost any single exam attempt. Two months at $49.99 runs you $99.98 — still less than a single Praxis Core combined test ($150), less than one TExES retake at the standard $116 fee, and less than a single FTCE Subject Area Examination ($150).
The cases where $49.99 is more than you need are real, even if they're a minority:
- You're sitting for one short exam in a few days and you already feel confident on the content
- You only need a brief content refresh and a handful of practice questions, not a structured study plan
- You've already passed the diagnostic-level practice test on another platform and just need to maintain
- Your budget only stretches to one month — in which case, subscribing for either the diagnostic phase (to find your weak areas) or the final-prep month before your exam is a legitimate way to use the product
In any of those cases, the free practice test is the fastest way to find out whether you actually need the full subscription. If you score well on it, you may not.ts and who it doesn't. If you can't justify multiple months of subscription, the diagnostic-first or last-month-of-prep approach this reviewer describes is a legitimate way to use the product. In any of those cases, the free practice test is the fastest way to find out whether you actually need the full subscription. If you score well on it, you may not.
How the pricing model actually works
240 Tutoring uses a month-to-month subscription. A few things worth knowing:
- You're billed monthly, not annually. No upfront commitment, no multi-month bundle pricing.
- You can cancel anytime. Cancellation stops the next month's billing — you keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
- Refunds are governed by the 240 Tutoring Guarantee (see below), not by the monthly billing terms.
The 240 Tutoring Guarantee: When you get your money back
Bottom Line:
240 Tutoring refunds up to two months of your subscription if you score 90% or higher on the final practice test before sitting for the exam — and then don't pass.
Here's how it works:
- You score 90% or higher on any one of the three Practice Test attempts inside your study guide. This has to happen before you sit for the real exam.
- You take the real exam within 30 days of when your subscription ends. If your subscription ends January 1, the exam has to be taken by January 31 to qualify.
- You don't pass, and you submit your official score report to 240 within three months of the failed attempt. The exam title on the report must exactly match the study guide you used, and the name must match your 240 account.
- 240 refunds up to two months of your subscription.
A few things worth knowing before you rely on the guarantee:
- The 90% has to be earned before you take the real exam, not after. If you fail the exam and then try to hit 90% on a practice test afterward, you're not eligible.
- The guarantee applies to the exact study guide you used, not the broader test series. If you used the Praxis Core guide but took a different Praxis test, you wouldn't qualify.
- Once your refund is processed, 240 removes the study guide and your progress from your account.

Is there a free option?
Yes. 240 Tutoring offers a free full-length practice test for every test series. It's the same format and difficulty as the practice tests inside the paid product.
The free practice test is the right starting point if:
- You're not sure 240's content style works for how you study
- You want to know your starting score before committing to a month of prep
- You're weighing 240 against another platform and want a real head-to-head feel
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The monthly subscription is the only charge. There are no per-exam fees, no proctoring fees, no upgrade tiers. Taxes may apply depending on your state.
Yes. There's no minimum commitment. You can subscribe, study, take your exam, and cancel — and you'd pay $49.99 total. Most candidates we hear from subscribe for 1–3 months depending on how much prep time they have
240 runs occasional promos — usually around back-to-school season and during big exam testing windows. There's no permanent student discount, but it's worth a 30-second check of the homepage before you subscribe in case something's running. One other thing worth asking: some universities and school districts include 240 access for free as part of their teacher prep programs. If you're enrolled in one, check with your program coordinator before paying out of pocket.
Yes. Cancellation stops the next month's billing. You'll keep access for the rest of the billing cycle you've already paid for. Cancellation is handled through your account settings.
There's no time-limited free trial of the full product, but there is a free full-length practice test that uses the same format and difficulty as the paid practice tests. It's the closest thing to trying before you buy.
No. The guarantee is a refund policy, not a pass guarantee. If you score 90% or higher on a practice test before sitting for the real exam and you still don't pass, 240 refunds up to two months of your subscription. Read the full terms on the 240 Tutoring Guarantee page.
Probably yes, but go in with realistic expectations. A week isn't enough time to relearn content you don't know. What you can do in seven days is take the diagnostic, find out fast where you actually stand, and put every remaining hour into your three lowest content categories. For tight timelines, the value isn't in the full content library — it's in knowing where to spend the time you have.
How to subscribe
Subscriptions are handled through the 240 Tutoring site. You'll need an email and a payment method; signup takes about two minutes, and your guide is available the second payment goes through. If you're still not sure whether the platform fits how you study, take the free practice test first. It costs nothing, it takes about as long as a real exam section, and it'll give you a more honest read on whether $49.99 a month makes sense for your situation than any review page can.
