PrepLicense: CFA® Exam Prep — A focused study app for the CFA® Level I exam. Built for working candidates preparing for the Chartered Financial Analyst Program. WHAT'S INSIDE 1,440 practice and mock questions across all 10 Level I topics, weighted to the published outline: • Ethical and Professional Standards • Quantitative Methods • Economics • Financial Statement Analysis • Corporate Issuers • Equity Investments • Fixed Income • Derivatives • Alternative Investments • Portfolio Management DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CFA® PREP APPS • Every answer key cross-checked by independent LLM blind audit, and every calculation recomputed from scratch — the most common complaint about competing apps is wrong answer keys. We fix that as a baseline. • 100% original questions written in our own words from public sources and the published Learning Outcome Statements (LOS). Not scraped from the official item bank or end-of-reading questions. • LOS-anchored explanations on every question; math items show the formula, substitution, and derivation. HOW IT WORKS • Practice mode — drill any subset of questions, see the explanation immediately. • Mock exam — a full 180-question timed sitting (270 min), weighted to the published topic outline. The minimum passing score is set by CFA Institute and is not public; the app uses a 70% benchmark, noted in-app. • Performance analytics — weak-topic radar, mastery tracking, missed-question review. • Bookmarks + flags — mark hard questions for spaced re-review. • Works offline after first download. PRICING $19.99 monthly | $69.99 yearly. DISCLAIMER Independent study aid. CFA Institute does not endorse, promote, or warrant the accuracy or quality of this product.
