What Edureify does - not just a practice test
①
Domain-level diagnosis
Not just an overall score. Every domain scored separately against the pass threshold so you see exactly where marks are going.
②
Personalised study order
Your weakest domain becomes day 1. Not the curriculum's day 1 - yours. Highest-impact area first, always.
③
Day-by-day schedule
Built backwards from your exam date. Every session is planned. You never have to decide what to study - the system tells you.
④
Live readiness tracking
Your readiness score recalculates after every session. You know - in real time - if you're on track to pass.
⑤
Retake prevention alert
If you're not ready before your exam date, you get a clear warning. Not after you fail - before you walk in.
⑥
Access until you pass
One payment. Full access to everything - including a free retake diagnostic - until you're certified. No monthly pressure.

What candidates say
★★★★★
"I'd been studying for weeks with no idea which areas to focus on. The diagnostic showed me my two critical domains in 30 minutes. Passed first attempt."

CFA Level 1 certified
★★★★★
"Failed my first attempt. Used Edureify the second time - it told me exactly what I'd missed. The retake alert feature alone saved me from going in underprepared again."
MR
M. Rodriguez
CFA Level 1 certified (2nd attempt)
★★★★★
"The $199 until-you-pass plan was the best decision. I took longer than expected but never had to worry about losing access. Worth every cent vs the retake fee."
