HomeHow it works
A four-phase method

Don't study everything. Study what's leaking your score.

A simple, repeatable method — diagnose, learn, repair, simulate — that spends your time where it moves your score, and tells you exactly when you're ready to book.

The four phases

From first diagnostic to exam-ready.

Each phase has one job and one clear outcome. Work them in order the first time, then loop repair and simulate until your mock scores hold above 85%.

Diagnose

Before you study

Take a 25-question diagnostic, weighted like the real exam, before you open a single lesson. It's not about scoring well — it's about finding the domain where you're weakest, so you don't waste time on what you already know.

Outcome:  your weakest domain, identified on day one.

Learn

Build understanding

Work through the lessons for each domain, then quiz one topic at a time with hints on. The goal isn't to memorize letters — it's to understand why a coverage works the way it does, because most of the exam tests comprehension, not recall.

Outcome:  each domain covered, with the reasoning that holds up under application.

Repair

Fix the gaps

Go back to only the questions you got wrong. Every explanation tells you why the wrong answer is wrong — so a mistake becomes a lesson you keep. Re-quiz the weak domain until you're consistently clearing 85%.

Outcome:  your weak spots turned into reliable points.

Simulate

Rehearse for real

Sit two full 100-question mock exams in 180 minutes, with hints off — the real conditions. Each result scores you against the 75% line and breaks it down by domain. Book the real exam once you clear 85% twice.

Outcome:  a clear, evidence-based signal that you're ready to book.
How you'll know you're ready

Two mocks above 85%. Then you book.

The pass line is 75%, but a first attempt is too valuable to gamble on the margin. Aim for a comfortable buffer, proven twice, before you sit the real thing.

Readiness signal

Leave yourself a buffer above the pass line.

Scoring 76% on one mock isn't a signal to book — it's a signal you're close. Two mock exams above 85% is the threshold this method aims for, so a normal exam-day dip still lands you well clear of 75%.

PASS · 75%
TARGET · 85%
You: 88%
Rule of thumb: once two mocks clear the 85% target, book with confidence.
Who it's for

Built for one job: your first-attempt pass.

A good fit if you're

  • Preparing for the Ontario RIBO Level 1 (Entry-Level Broker) exam
  • Starting a broker role and need to be licensed to sell
  • Studying on your own schedule, on desktop or mobile
  • Rewriting after a near miss and want to close specific gaps

i Good to know

  • This is exam preparation, not the RIBO exam or registration itself
  • The exam is booked separately through IIO or IBAO
  • Built to the Ontario blueprint — not Quebec AMF or other provinces
  • Self-paced: no cohort, no deadlines, work at your own speed

Know your weak spot. Fix it. Book once.

Start with the diagnostic and let the method point you to exactly where your score is leaking.
