PFS practice questions - frequently asked questions

Plain answers about how PFS Exam Prep works: the exam, the questions, pricing, the free trial, and what you actually get.

No - and you should be wary of any site claiming otherwise. Every question here is original, written to mirror the style, difficulty, and judgment the real PFS exam tests. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of why the right answer is right and the others aren't.

The PFS exam spans 12 domains: Personal financial planning process (7-11%); Professional responsibilities and the legislative and regulatory environment (7-11%); Foundational financial planning concepts (7-11%); Estate planning (11-14%); Charitable planning (4-6%); Risk management planning (11-14%); Employee and business owner planning (4-6%); Investment planning (11-14%); Retirement and Financial Independence Planning (11-14%); Elder, special needs, and chronic illness planning (5-7%); Education planning (3-5%); Special situations (2-4%). Every practice question on this site is tagged to one of these domains.

The PFS exam has 160 questions and is completed in 5 hours. Our timed practice mirrors that length and pacing, so exam day feels familiar.
