CFA® Level I · Chartered Financial Analyst Program
CFA® Exam Prep
Level I Practice + Mock Exam
1,440 originally authored multiple-choice questions across all 10 CFA® Level I topics (Ethics through Portfolio Management) — 900 practice questions plus a full 540-question mock bank that builds a 180-question, 270-minute sitting. Every answer key cross-audited by independent LLM blind review, and every math item worked step-by-step. Accuracy is the baseline, not the bonus.

540-question mock bank · weak-topic radar
A full mock sitting, scored against the weighted outline
Most prep apps stop at practice drills. This one carries a separate 540-question mock bank that builds fresh 180-question, 270-minute sittings weighted to the published Level I topic outline — so your rehearsal matches the shape of the exam, not a random shuffle. After each sitting, a radar view across all 10 topics shows exactly where you are weakest.
- 540 mock questions, independent of the 900-question practice bank — no repeats spoiling your score signal
- 180 questions · 270 minutes, split into two sessions like the computer-based format
- Scored against a 70% benchmark, with the note that the official minimum passing score is set by CFA Institute and is not public
- Weak-topic radar analytics across all 10 topics, so you drill where you actually lose points
Why this app is different
- Cross-audited answer keys. The most common complaint about CFA® prep apps is wrong answer keys. Every question here was blind-reviewed by an independent model and re-verified, and every calculation item was recomputed from scratch before it shipped.
- 100% original questions. Authored in our own words from public sources and the published Level I Learning Outcome Statements (LOS) and topic outline. We do NOT reproduce, mirror, or scrape any portion of the CFA Institute item bank, which is non-public and copyright-protected.
- LOS-anchored explanations. Each explanation ties back to the specific Learning Outcome Statement it tests, and math questions show the formula, the substitution, and the derivation — so you learn the method, not just the letter.
