DRAFT for review — not public. Copy marked for claim-checking in site/REVIEW.md.

Three steps. One plan built for you.

Everyone starts from a different place. We measure yours, teach from there, and show you when you're ready.

STEP 1

Diagnose

About 40 questions across the official exam blueprint, free. You get a topic-by-topic map of what you know and an honest estimate of the study hours between you and a pass.

STEP 2

Learn your gaps

Daily sessions built for you: new material where you're missing it, a fresh angle where you're shaky, quick reviews so what you've mastered stays mastered. There's no limit on rounds — keep going as long as you like.

STEP 3

Prove you're ready

Full simulated exams under real timing, and a readiness estimate honest enough to say "not yet." Walk into the test center when the numbers say go.

Study less, learn more

Your plan is rebuilt around you every session, from how you actually answer — not a fixed syllabus.

  • It skips what you already know. Your diagnostic shows where you're solid, so new teaching goes to your gaps, highest exam weight first. What you know comes back as quick questions: spaced reviews, and the warm-up and closing questions.
  • A different angle when something's shaky. Topics you're partway on come back with new questions, while there are any you haven't seen, and the lesson told a second way, in its own words.
  • When a topic stalls, the approach changes. The other telling of the lesson, or a step back to the idea it builds on.
  • What you've mastered stays mastered. Solid topics return for quick reviews at widening intervals — 1, 3, 7, 16 and 35 days — so they stay fresh.
  • It shifts as your exam gets close. Less new material, more reinforcement and review in the final weeks.
  • Sessions start and end on a win. Where it can, a round opens and closes with questions from your strongest areas.

How the content is checked

Every lesson and question is built from the IRS's own publications, one learning objective of the official exam blueprint at a time, and every factual claim keeps a citation to the source it came from.

Before anything reaches you it passes several independent checks: each item is compared against its source text, and every question is re-solved blind to catch a wrong answer key. Anything the checks disagree on is held back rather than published — on this exam, "close enough" isn't a thing.

Why you can trust the material.

On this exam, "close enough" isn't a thing. Here's how the content earns its place.

Every claim carries its source

Lessons and answer explanations trace to the IRS publication they come from, so you can read the source text yourself.

Pub 501

Checked before it's published

Every question is re-solved from scratch and checked against the IRS text it cites, through several independent checks. Anything the checks disagree on is held back, not published.

Content follows the most recent tax year the IRS has set for the exam — right now that's 2025 law, including that year's changes.
