How they are written
§ 01Grounded, structured, and written to be studied.
Three commitments that govern what goes into a reading, and what does not.
- Source-grounded: built from the curriculum, not memoryEvery reading is written directly from the official CFA materials and cross-checked for completeness: every term the curriculum defines, WSU defines too. When a point can't be supported by the source, it doesn't go in.
- Structured the way you are testedEach topic is a book, each chapter a subtopic, and each reading maps to a single learning outcome, so what you study lines up exactly with what the exam asks of you.
- Rewritten in plain, original languageWorked examples use fresh numbers, curriculum exhibits are redrawn as clean tables and charts, and every reading closes with dense, exam-style practice — no filler, no scraped text.
The reader
§ 02See the concept. Work it. Then test it.
The reader is a study surface, not a PDF viewer: the calculator, the assistant and the practice all live on the page you are reading.
- Built-in financial calculator. A full CFA-style financial calculator opens right inside the reader: run TVM, cash-flow and rate problems without leaving the page.
- WSU Assistant, in context. It sees the page you're on: highlight any passage and hit Explain to get it in plain English, with links back into the notes.
- Worked examples and practice. Every reading has step-by-step worked examples and exam-style practice with fully explained answers.
- Key formulas, boxed. The equation that matters is set apart in a titled callout you can find at a glance.
Reading tools
§ 03A reader built to study in.
Annotation, sizing, progress and search: the things you actually do to a textbook, done to a screen.

- Mark up the page in four colours and bookmark anything you want to return to.

- Size the type to your liking and switch to dark mode for late-night sessions.
