I read each lesson in English first, then check the Chinese underneath whenever a term doesn't click. Beats stopping to look everything up.

Cards that resurface
Adaptive spaced repetition learns your memory and brings each card back right before you'd forget. Less re-reading; more that sticks until exam day.
Five minutes a day

Bilingual Assist
Study in your language, everywhere
Tap the globe and your native language appears beside the English — across lessons, flashcards, and quiz explanations. Eight languages, the same CFA concept in the words you think in.
Spaced repetition
Remember more, in less time
Every finished lesson becomes a flashcard. An adaptive FSRS scheduler brings each one back the moment you're about to forget — so a few minutes of review locks in what would otherwise slip away.
Skill analysis
Know exactly where you're weak
Sit a full 180-question mock in the real CFA exam format, then get a topic-by-topic skill analysis — green where you're strong, red where you're not. After every exam you know exactly which topics to study next.
Exam analytics
See where your time goes
A per-question timing heatmap maps your pace across all 180 questions — spot exactly where the clock slipped so you can fix your pacing before exam day, not after.
Answer review
Every question, explained
Finishing the mock is where the real studying starts. Walk back through every question — your answer, the correct one, and a clear explanation of why — then jump straight to the ones you missed. Each question you fix today is a mark you keep on exam day.

Charter5m is a study supplement built around the 2026 Learning Outcome Statements — not a replacement for the official curriculum.
Built for recall, not cramming
The CFA Level I exam asks for 300+ hours of study — and the forgetting curve quietly erases most of what you read before exam day. Charter5m resurfaces each concept right before you'd forget it, so what you learn in February is still there when it counts.
Five minutes a day
Short daily sessions that fit around work — no marathon study blocks to dread.
Reviews timed to memory
Spaced repetition schedules each card for the moment you're about to forget it.
Retention you control
Set a target from 70% to 97% — the scheduler adapts to keep you there.
"Consistency beats marathons."
The CFA® Level I exam asks for hundreds of hours of study. The official CFA Institute curriculum is essential reading — and reading it consistently, week after week, is the part most candidates struggle with after a full day of work.
Charter5m is built to make that consistency easier: short, daily sessions that fit alongside the curriculum and review what matters when your memory is about to fade.
It's a supplement, not a shortcut. Used together with the official curriculum, it turns scattered study time into compounding mastery.
Built around the CFA Institute Level I 2026 Learning Outcome Statements as a study supplement.
Candidates on Charter5m
Learners across nine languages are building a daily CFA habit with Charter5m. In their words:
It nudges me to review the cards I'm about to forget, not the ones I already know. Almost two months in and I still haven't dropped it.
Chen Yi-Chen

After each mock it breaks down which topics are pulling my score down, so I stopped re-reading the stuff I'm already good at.
Beatriz Santos
São Paulo, Brazil
Five minutes on the train in the morning. It honestly doesn't feel like studying, which is probably the only reason I've stuck with it.
Haruto Tanaka
Tokyo, Japan
Being able to switch each card between Korean and English makes a real difference. Most prep material just assumes English is your first language.

The QuickSheet saved me the night before a practice exam, every formula on one screen. Wish I'd started using it sooner.
