Local storage only

Files stay in your browser.

No shared library

AlphaDrill does not provide or distribute CFA® content.

Your responsibility

Only import materials you are authorised to use.

How it works

Three steps to drill.

Step 1

Select a level

Pick Level I, II or III. AlphaDrill adapts the format and dashboard to that exam.

Step 2

Upload

Drop in your PDFs, Word docs or question files. Parsing happens locally in your browser.

Step 3

Drill

Practise by topic and learning module, then track progress to exam day.

Why it works

Built for retention, not re-reading.

You already have the materials. AlphaDrill turns them into focused, repeatable practice.

Missed questions come back

Spaced repetition resurfaces what you got wrong more often than what you have mastered.

Weak spots stay visible

Every attempt is tracked by topic and learning module, so you know what to drill next.

Exam day stays in view

Set your sitting and AlphaDrill counts down with you, so you can see if you are on pace.

FAQ

Is this affiliated with CFA Institute?
No. AlphaDrill is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CFA Institute. CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are trademarks owned by CFA Institute. You bring materials you have the right to use; we host none.
What file types work?
PDFs, Word documents, and structured question files (JSON and CSV). AlphaDrill reads them in your browser and builds a practice bank from the files you import.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The drilling interface is fully responsive, so you can review on a phone or tablet. Importing large PDFs is smoother on a laptop, but everything else works on a small screen.
What happens if I clear my browser?
Everything lives on your own device, so clearing your browser data or site storage will remove your imported questions and your progress, and switching to a new device starts you fresh. There is no cloud copy. That is the trade-off for keeping your materials fully private. The fix is simple: keep your original files so you can re-import in seconds, and your scores rebuild as you drill.
Is it free?
You can start drilling for free with no account and no email. There is no paywall in front of setup. Pick a level, set your exam date, and go.
