Exam study-plan generator
Covering the CPA, CMA, CIA, CFA, CISA, NCLEX and ACCA exams. Tell the generator which exams you are sitting, how many hours you truly have each week, your starting point and — if you have them — a target date for each exam. It returns a week-by-week plan phased into foundation, practice, review and final preparation, sized from the breadth of each exam's official blueprint and scheduled around its real testing windows.
When you can sit the CPA exams
Core sections available year-round; Disciplines in Jan/Feb, Apr/May, Jul/Aug, Oct/Nov. Official AICPA calendar.
Be honest — a sustainable 10 beats an imaginary 25.
How the generator works
Each exam is planned as its own block, in date order, so a plan covering several sections reads as a sequence rather than one undifferentiated block of hours. Foundation and practice weeks walk the section's official blueprint areas in proportion to their published exam weightings, so heavier areas get more calendar time.
Hour targets are Certuvo editorial planning estimates derived from the breadth of each exam's official blueprint or syllabus — most certification bodies do not publish required study hours. The exception is the CFA Program, where the 300-hours-per-level figure is CFA Institute's own published guidance and is labelled as such in your results. The generator scales those targets by your background (±15%) and caps weekly load at 25 hours alongside full-time work for sustainability.
Every target date you set is checked against the months that exam is actually offered. That check matters because availability differs inside a single credential: CPA Core sections are on continuous testing while the Disciplines run in the first month of each quarter, CFA Level III is offered only in February and August, and ACCA's Applied Knowledge exams are on demand while its Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams run in four fixed sessions a year. The awarding bodies publish the authoritative calendars — each certification links to its own.
Pair the plan with the certification hubs — CPA, CMA, CIA, CFA, CISA, NCLEX, ACCA — and the cost calculator.

The plan is computed entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere, and nothing is stored. A shareable link carries your inputs in the part of the URL that browsers never send to a server, and the plan is rebuilt from them when the link is opened.
