What makes VoraPrep CFP different
Every question and lesson is built for the current Certified Financial Planner exam — not repurposed from another course.
Interactive multi-domain case studies
CFP case questions cross retirement, tax, estate, and investment planning in a single client scenario. Our interactive case runner reconciles the retirement, tax, and cash-flow calculations in real time so you see how a single assumption ripples across four domains — exactly like the exam expects you to.
Time Value of Money & financial ratio calculator lab
A dedicated TVM / ratio practice lab with the same button behavior as the on-screen exam calculator. Present value, future value, annuities, loan amortization, housing / debt / solvency ratios — drilled to muscle memory.
CFP Board 2022 blueprint (Psychology as standalone 7% domain)
The 2022 blueprint elevated Psychology of Financial Planning to a standalone weighted domain. Our content depth follows that weighting — not the pre-2022 mix where behavioral finance was folded into Domain 2.

How We Build & Keep Our CFP Content Current
A question we hear a lot: “How do I know VoraPrep covers what Kaplan, Dalton, or Danko covers — and that it’s actually up to date?” Fair question. Keeping the CFP material current isn’t a one-time project for us; it’s how our content team works year-round.
We rebuild from the CFP Board’s blueprint each cycle
Every year our team pulls the CFP Board’s current Principal Knowledge Topics and maps all 8 domains — every topic and sub-topic — into a master coverage checklist. That checklist drives what we write, what we revise, and what we retire.
We build to the exam’s actual weighting
Retirement (18%), Investments (17%), General Principles (15%), Tax (14%), Risk & Insurance (11%), Estate (10%), Professional Conduct (8%), Psychology (7%). Our depth follows that distribution so the time you spend lines up with how the exam scores you.
Every lesson, question, and case is reviewed by our team
Our financial-planning reviewers check every item for technical accuracy, current tax figures, and exam-style reasoning. Nothing reaches you unreviewed. The bar is the same depth and rigor you’d expect from any established CFP review program.
We update the minute the rules change
Contribution limits, tax brackets, Social Security figures, SECURE Act provisions, CFP Board standards — when any of these shift, our team revises and re-verifies the affected content. You’re never studying last year’s numbers.
