Your daily plan, sized to your exam date

Tell it your exam date and how long you can study each day. It hands you a list you can finish, and it moves your weakest high-weight area to the front.

Readiness score

Know when to book the test, area by area.

The state publishes how much each topic is worth. Your score weighs your results the same way, so a 32% area counts for more than a 6% one.

Exam Ready takes both of these:

Questions people ask before paying

Are these the real exam questions?

No. Every question is original. Reproducing real exam content is against Florida law (FS 455.2175). Ours are written to the state's content outline and checked against the reference books you'll use on test day.

Do I still need the books?

Yes. The exam is open book, and you bring the approved references. Each answer here names the book and section, so you learn where things are.

What happens after 12 months?

Access ends. It's a one-time purchase, and nothing renews or charges again.

Sit a 20-question timed exam today. It's free.

Business & Finance pace: 65 minutes for 20 questions, graded at the end. You'll see where you stand before you spend anything.
