Why this exists

The tools existed everywhere
except where I needed them.

I came into finance from university, where good study tools were everywhere and mostly free. Studying for the CFA, that ecosystem wasn’t there — what existed was heavily paywalled, and what was free wasn’t much help. Question dumps, unmaintained decks, content that told you whether you got it right but never why.

So I built what I wanted: one system where the practice types reinforce each other and you can see what you actually know.

Then I studied with it myself, around a demanding full-time role — the only way I have ever had to do it. That is why sessions are short, why the plan works backwards from your exam date, and why weak topics resurface without you having to decide what to revise. Some nights you get forty minutes, not four hours.

And it is one payment, because being charged monthly rent on my own preparation was the part I resented most. Buy it once and it stays yours.

How it works

Three things, in order.

  1. 01

    Set your exam date

    The plan works back from it: 16 weeks, weighted by what each topic is worth on the exam.

  2. 02

    Practise across formats

    Questions, spaced-repetition flashcards, formula drills and mock exams, all on one progress model.

  3. 03

    See where you stand

    Per-topic mastery, a readiness score, accuracy and timing trends — not just a percentage correct.

A real question

Judge the content yourself.

One of the 727, unedited, with the explanation you would see after answering it. This one is in the free tier — you can check the rest of that topic without paying anything.

Financial Statement AnalysismediumFSA-004

A company uses LIFO inventory accounting during a period of rising prices. Compared to FIFO, LIFO will produce:

  • AHigher COGS, lower gross profit, lower taxes, and lower net incomeCorrect
  • BLower COGS, higher gross profit, and higher net income
  • CThe same gross profit but different tax expense
Explanation

During rising prices: LIFO uses newest (highest cost) inventory → higher COGS → lower gross profit → lower taxable income → lower taxes (tax benefit). FIFO uses oldest (lowest cost) inventory → lower COGS → higher gross profit → higher taxes. LIFO reserve = FIFO inventory - LIFO inventory.

The obvious questions

Asked and answered.

Is 727 questions enough?
Fewer than the largest banks — no point pretending otherwise. You get 727 core curriculum questions, 199 supplemental advanced-ethics scenarios, 117 flashcards and full-length mocks. The constraint at Level I is rarely how many questions exist; it is knowing which to do next.
Why not just use the free CFA Institute questions?
Use them. They are official, they are free, and nothing here replaces them. What they do not give you is a schedule, a record of what you have already answered, or an honest read on which topics are still weak. Run the two together.
What if I fail and need to resit?
You keep your access. One payment, no expiry, no renewal — defer a sitting or sit again and you do not pay twice. Retakers get the same thing: per-topic mastery to find the gaps, without buying another full course.

Start with the free tier.

10 questions per topic, the 16-week plan, and no card. If it does not help, you have lost nothing.
