What candidates say

“I’d done plenty of reading, but I couldn’t tell whether I actually knew the material. The weak-topic sets kept bringing back the things I was avoiding. By the time I sat Securities, I knew exactly where I stood and passed first time.”

How It Works

Five tools. One pass mark.

Scroll to walk through the method.

Practice by topic

10,800+ exam-standard questions, organised by syllabus element and written to the current CISI workbooks. Instant marking, and a proper explanation for every answer, right or wrong.

Reading is not revision. Being tested is.

A right answer is provisional. Every question comes back a day later, then three days, then a week, and your readiness score counts only your first ever attempt at it. Guesswork does not survive that.
