Readiness

See how ready you are, not just how much you have done.

Each answer updates a proficiency score from 0 to 1,000 for each topic. Hard questions answered correctly count for more. The app turns your scores into an estimated pass probability on EduFite's own scale.

  • Aim for 750 in every topic, with 600 as the minimum
  • See which important topic needs work first
  • Updated as you answer
The EduFite scale
0600 minimum750 target1,000

Target 750: aim for this in every topic. 600 is the minimum on EduFite's scale: at that level in every topic, the estimated chance of passing is about even, so it is a floor, not a finish line. Per-topic marks guide your study; the exam is passed on your total score. More in the FAQ below.

FAQ

Common questions, plainly answered.

Which exam is this for?

The CFA® Level I exam. Lessons are organised by its exam topics, and practice and mock exams follow the published topic weights.

Is 600 the CFA® passing score?

No. 600 (the Minimum) and 750 (the Target) are marks on EduFite's own 0 to 1,000 scale, a guide to which topics need more work. CFA Institute does not publish its passing score, and the exam is passed on your total score across all topics.

What can I use for free?

All of Quantitative Methods, 5 AI Tutor questions and the study planner, plus the 30-question mini mock without an account. No card is needed.

How long does my access last?

1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year from the day you pay, depending on the plan you choose. If you buy again before it ends, the new months are added to the time you have left.

Is this a subscription?

No. Each plan is one payment for a fixed period, with no automatic renewal. When it ends, your account, your progress and the free subject stay, and you can buy again whenever you want.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. The free account needs no card and has no end date. Upgrade from the same account when you are ready, and your progress stays.

Do I need to install anything?

No. EduFite runs in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone.
