The content outline

Four domains.
Weighted to match.

Practice is weighted to ACE’s public domain percentages, so you spend your time where the exam does.

  • Client Onboarding and Assessments23%
  • Program Design and Implementation31%
  • Program Modification and Progression27%
  • Risk Management, Professional Conduct, and Ethical Business Practices19%
How you learn it

Every concept, three ways.

  • Repetition. Flashcard review until it sticks.
  • Categorization. Sort sets that make you place each idea where it belongs.
  • Association. Scenarios that connect one concept to the next.

Knowledge is tiered the way I coach: Inadequate, Adequate, Optimal and Enhanced. The 1,000 exam-standard questions are the core. The Optimal and Enhanced questions are there when you want more.

How it works

Practice. Mock.
