A free 60-question diagnostic pinpoints exactly where you lost marks — then builds a personalised rescue plan around your weak topics only.
Every lesson opens by naming the exact mistakes retakers make on that topic — before explaining anything. Then it won't let you move on until you've shown you won't make them again. That's the difference.
Everything is built around your actual performance data — not a generic study plan.
A 4-question survey (2 min) captures your band score, hours studied, and weak topics — so the system understands your starting point.
6 questions per topic across all 10 CFA L1 topics. Timed. MCQ. No peeking at answers until it's done — that's how we get a clean read on each topic.
Every topic is rated Critical, Sharpen, or Maintain. You see the exact score and which track you're placed in — no surprises.
Your dashboard shows exactly what to study today, this week, and this cycle — calibrated to your exam date and study hours per week.
Standard prep teaches the content again. That's not the problem — you already know the material. The problem is a different set of study habits won't fix the same exam mistakes.
You don't get assigned to one track. Each of your 10 topics gets its own track based on your diagnostic score.
These topics are costing you the most points. You get the complete illustrated lesson sequence, worked examples, and a full 20-question re-test before moving on.
You know the fundamentals but drop points on application. You get focused lessons on common exam traps for this topic, plus a 10-question drill.
You're strong here. We keep you fresh with a quick weekly drill so the topic doesn't decay before exam day — without wasting your time on what you already know.
This is not a full CFA prep course. It's specifically designed for retakers — which means it assumes you already have a foundation and focuses on fixing what's broken.
Take the free diagnostic →Pinpoints which topics cost you points — not your guesses, actual data from how you answer.
Built around your exam date and hours per week. Daily task cards so you always know what's next.
Every lesson opens by naming the specific traps retakers fall for on that topic — before explaining anything. You see your mistake pattern first, then the fix.
A 3-question exit gate is locked at the end of each lesson. All 3 correct to unlock the next one. No self-reported readiness — you prove it.
The diagnostic covers every topic. Your plan focuses only on what you need.
We ask you to commit to these before you start. Students who follow them pass. Students who skip them don't.
The diagnostic will assign your topics. Some of them will surprise you — topics you thought were fine may score Critical. Follow the plan anyway. Your gut already sat the exam once.
Every lesson ends with a 3-question exit gate. The next lesson is locked until all 3 are correct. No skipping, no self-declaration of readiness. If the gate is closed, you're not ready.
If a topic is rated Maintain, the plan gives you a quick weekly drill and nothing else. Don't study it further — that time belongs to your Critical topics. Trust the allocation.
The CFA exam is one of the most respected credentials in finance. It's also one of the hardest to pass — and the resources available to retakers are almost identical to the ones they already used. More material. More reading. The same approach that didn't work the first time.
We built CFA Retaker's Rescue because we believe the problem isn't effort — it's method. Our team combines working professionals with real-world finance experience and educators who understand how people actually learn under pressure. We built this course the way we wish someone had built it for us: starting from your specific failure, not from scratch.
Our company was founded on a single belief: that access to high-quality professional education shouldn't depend on who you know or what you can afford. This course is priced the way it is because we're optimising for your pass rate, not our margin.
The next exam window is approaching. Start with a free diagnostic and see exactly where you stand.
