Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy
The 2026 annual gift exclusion per donee is:
Solution
A is correct.

The 2026 annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per donee. This amount continues to be indexed for inflation under existing law; it was not specifically modified by OBBBA. Gifts at or below the annual exclusion do not use the unified lifetime exemption and do not require filing Form 709. Gift-splitting between spouses doubles the exclusion to $38,000 per donee.
Question 2 Medium
Financial self-efficacy refers to which of the following?
Solution
C is correct.

Financial self-efficacy refers to an individual's confidence in their own ability to successfully manage their finances and achieve financial goals. It is rooted in Bandura's broader concept of self-efficacy and reflects perceived competence rather than actual knowledge or wealth.
Question 3 Hard
A letter of intent in the context of special needs planning is best described as:
Solution
A is correct.

A letter of intent is a non-binding but critically important document that parents or caregivers prepare to guide future caregivers, guardians, and trustees. It typically includes information about the disabled individual's medical history, daily routines, behavioral patterns, social activities, dietary needs, and the family's wishes for quality of life. While not legally enforceable, it provides essential context that legal documents alone cannot capture.

What CFP candidates are saying

“I took the CFP exam yesterday and provisionally passed on my first attempt, thanks to your website. There were a few curveballs, things I had no clue about, but the site was so thorough with the explanations and logic of the questions that I could always eliminate at least two of the options. I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am today without your help.”
Matt H.
“It helped a lot and was a critical part of my study sessions leading up to the CFP exam last month on the 23rd, which was my third attempt. I hammered the hard questions the most, especially in Tax, Insurance, and Estate, which were my weakest sections. With lots of happiness, I passed.”
Dustin S.
“FreeFellow helped me pass the CFP. The practice questions matched the real exam in structure and difficulty, and the feedback explained why I got questions wrong (not just what). Being able to drill specific topics or switch to full-length exams made adapting my prep easy.”
Brock

About FreeFellow

Jeffrey Ting, founder of FreeFellow
Jeffrey Ting
FSA, CFA · Founder

FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who has passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance, all on his first attempt. He paid four-figure prep fees along the way.

So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 40 exams with more than 45,000 original practice questions.

01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.

A CFA charter, a CPA license, an actuarial credential. Each opens a real career, but prep fees add to the cost of getting there. FreeFellow keeps its original question bank and written lessons free so you can study even if a paid course is out of reach.

02
Free should mean free.

The original question bank, the worked solutions, the topic lessons, mixed practice, and your readiness score stay free, forever. Full access needs a free account, and practice usage limits apply. Fellow adds AI grading on supported exams, spaced-repetition flashcards, full-length mock exams, analytics, and a study plan that adapts to your progress.
