There is no CSC-published “you must review for N months” rule in our verified set. Runway depends on your starting gaps, minutes/day you will actually keep, and when your exam date falls — a date you must confirm on csc.gov.ph and may enter in the app yourself.
A realistic way to size the runway
| Your situation | Practical runway (product advice) |
|---|---|
| Strong baseline; few weak topics after diagnostic | A few focused weeks of plans + 2–3 full mocks |
| Mixed skills; several weak topics | About 6–10 weeks of near-daily plans |
| Long gap from school math/reading drills; many red topics | Multiple months at a sustainable minutes/day |
These bands are editorial coaching, not official requirements. If your minutes/day is 10, double the calendar time versus someone who truly keeps 30+.
Use the product loop, not a giant PDF calendar
- Week 0: Free diagnostic → claim → set level, optional exam date, minutes/day.
- Most days: Finish Today’s plan before freestyle practice.
- Every 1–2 weeks (when recommended): One full mock at official test-proper length for your level (3h10m Professional / 2h40m Subprofessional per CSC guide materials).
- Final stretch: More mock review and flagged-item discipline; less random new material.
If you have not confirmed an exam date yet, still start the loop. Enter the date later when CSC posts your cycle — we do not invent that date for you.
Signs your runway is too short
- Diagnostic shows many weak topics and your exam is days away
- You have never finished a full timed mock
- You only study on weekends but expect Professional Analytical + Verbal + Numerical + GI to move together
Options: adjust expectations, increase sustainable daily minutes, or target a later CSC conduct (confirmed on the CSC site). We will not promise that a crash week “still works.”
What we will not invent
- Official next exam dates or application windows
- A CSC-mandated month count
- Guarantees that N months of using the app produces a pass
