About Capital Prep
We started by helping people study for free. We still do.
This is the story of Career Employer, Capital Prep, and the one goal that never changed: you walk into your exam ready.
Every question, explanation and study guide is written, checked and kept current by the people in this picture — and when you write to us, one of them answers.
Contact us →Chapter one · Where we started
It began with Career Employer, and everything was free.
Free, on Career Employer
- Flashcards
- Study guides
- Practice tests
- Exam-readiness cheat sheets
- Exam-readiness scores
Account-free, by design.
You never create an account on Career Employer. No sign-up wall, nothing to remember, nothing standing between you and the first flashcard. That was the whole point — and, it turned out, the ceiling.
Chapter two · The catch
Free and account-free has a ceiling.
So a premium version was born.
Capital Prep is everything the free tools taught us, with an account behind it — so the system can finally learn you. Career Employer didn't change. We built the next thing beside it.
No sync
Your phone and your laptop never meet. Progress on one is a stranger to the other.
No program that tracks you
Nothing remembers what you missed last week, so nothing can bring it back at the right moment.
No personalization
Every session is built for everyone, which means it is built for no one in particular.
No tutor that knows you
A tutor who cannot see your work can only ever answer the general question, not yours.
No study path, no cram schedule
Without an exam date and a record of your work there is nothing to plan around.
Chapter three · Two paths, both ours
Free stays free. Paid is the extra help.
The free path
Career Employer
Study guides, flashcards, practice tests and readiness cheat sheets — no account, no catch. If it gets you through, we're thrilled.
Visit Career Employer →The paid path
Capital Prep
A plan built around your exam date, a tutor who reads your guide, a readiness meter built from your own answers — and a guarantee standing behind all of it.
Find your exam →Either way, we're here to help.
Pass on the free path or the paid one — we honestly don't mind which.
Chapter four · The origin of SurePass
We got confident enough to put our money on it.
Why it's more than a badge
The qualifying score isn't a slogan we picked because it sounded good — it is set against each exam's own questions. The readiness meter is built from your own answers, weighted to the exam's blueprint. Together they tell us, and you, when the promise is safe to make.
Read the full guarantee →Qualify
Clear your exam's qualifying score (shown on its Guarantee page) on one full-length mock exam in the 14 days before you sit. You get four scored sittings per exam; practice stays unlimited and counts for nothing.
Sit your exam
Walk in ready. If it still doesn't go your way, come back to us.
Claim
We check your mock history in your study portal automatically, so there is nothing to gather. An approved claim refunds your pass in full — and on Lifetime, your official retake fee too.
7-Day Pass and 30-Day Pass
SurePass Guarantee
Your pass refunded in full after one qualifying mock.
Lifetime
SurePass Guarantee Pro
Your pass refunded in full after one qualifying mock — and your official retake fee paid, one funded retake per exam, ever, once you have cleared two mocks with your readiness meter at “Getting close” or above.
Chapter five · The Capital Prep Method
Everything we learned, combined into one system.
The Method is what happens when the free tools get an account behind them: a readiness meter that reads your real work, Miles — a tutor who answers from your exam’s own study guide, whichever exam you’re on — spaced repetition that schedules itself, mnemonics that stick, a mode for every kind of session, and a cram mode for the final stretch.
And honestly? It's fun. The meter moves, milestones land, the mnemonics stick — a session you enjoy is a session you remember.
SurePass readiness score
A readiness score built from your own answers, weighted to the exam blueprint, with recent work counting most.
AI tutor grounded in YOUR study guide
Ask anything and get an answer cited back to the chapter it came from. It is retrieval-grounded specifically so it cannot invent an answer — if it is not in the guide, it says so.
Full-length mock exams
Real length, real clock, blueprint-weighted — and the questions you have not seen served first every sitting, with the mocks page saying whether your next one still counts.
Flashcards on a real FSRS engine
FSRS, not Leitner boxes and not a fixed 3-day interval — each card is scheduled for the moment you are about to forget it.
Illustrated mnemonics
Picture-and-phrase memory hooks for the lists and numbers that refuse to stick — and you can generate your own.
Cram Mode
For the final stretch: rebuilds each session from your own miss history, targeting the points still reachable rather than the ones already banked.
Game Plan
Give it your exam date and it builds today's session — sized to the time you actually have, weighted to your weakest areas, and re-planned every time you study.
Teach It
Explain a concept in your own words and get graded on clarity, completeness and accuracy — the fastest way to find out you only THINK you know it.
Confidence tracking
Compares how sure you were against how right you were. Overconfidence is the thing that fails people, and this is the only place most candidates ever see it measured.
Focus sessions
Timed, distraction-free study blocks with a soundscape.
Chapter six · Why we don't do subscriptions
You study for a season. That's not a subscription.
So we sell passes. Pick the length you need, pay once, and that's the end of it. Nothing renews, nothing re-bills — not next month, not ever. Need longer? Upgrade while your pass is running.
- 7-Day Pass
- 30-Day Pass
- Lifetime
Things you will never get from us
- An auto-renewal
- A cancel button hidden three menus deep
- A bill after your exam
- A monthly price that only makes sense if you forget
And if you change your mind
24 hours on the 7-Day Pass, 48 hours on the 30-Day Pass, or 72 hours on Lifetime, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet.
Chapter seven · The mission
Our goal is simple: you pass.
Less time
Cut the hours it takes to get ready by studying what actually moves your score.
More confidence
Walk in knowing where you stand, because a meter built from your own work told you.
More passes
More people passing the first time — on the free path or the paid one.
