Know what the numbers mean.
Useful preparation guidance starts with transparent limits. CharterPrep is an independent CA and CS study aid, not an ICAI or ICSI service.
Two different checks
The free preparation check asks six questions about planning, revision and practice habits. It orders practical next steps from your self-reported answers. It does not test academic knowledge or calculate your exam readiness.
The workspace exam-readiness index uses saved chapter, revision and practice evidence. Neither tool predicts a pass, measures intelligence or validates hours studied.
The readiness formula
40% syllabus coverage + 30% revision evidence + 30% recent practice.
- Coverage is completed chapters divided by selected chapters.
- Revision awards three sequential stages per completed chapter. A later revision needs the preceding stage.
- Practice uses up to the latest five valid attempts per selected subject within 90 days. Duplicates, future dates, other course/level records and invalid percentages are excluded. CSEET evidence must use the current supported curriculum version.
- Overall components are weighted by chapter count, not official exam marks. A subject with no valid practice contributes zero practice points; that means missing evidence, not proven low ability.
- Topic weakness uses the latest recorded result for that topic within the selected recent attempts; below 60% is flagged. Retakes can replace older topic evidence. These are product rules, not institute standards.
- Elective selection changes coverage. The interface flags incomplete elective choices and limited practice evidence.
A 70/100 readiness index is not a 70% pass probability. We have not validated this index against a representative set of official exam outcomes.
How plans are built
Plans depend on your selected level, available hours, chapter progress and attempt. Backlog and Panic Mode create proposals for your review; they do not guarantee that a whole syllabus will fit. Panic Mode uses the saved attempt, operates in its supported exam-proximity window, limits daily hours to 1–8 and reserves exam eve. Confirm your actual timetable and start time from official sources and your admit card.
A saved plan is a proposal for managing work. Learning speed and time-on-task are not independently measured. Adjust it when it does not fit.
Questions, explanations and sources
Practice content can include app-authored packages and AI-generated questions or explanations. A practice paper or its format is not an official institute paper unless explicitly identified and linked as such. No blanket claim is made that every app question has been independently reviewed by a qualified academic expert.
Current backend catalogue metadata supplies course, paper and format context. A linked syllabus source establishes context, not verification of every generated sentence or answer. AI can make mistakes in calculations, law, amendments or applicability. Check against official material and ask support to correct errors.
Snap Solve photos are processed to generate provisional workings and are not retained by the app. CharterBot and tutoring depend on provider availability and usage limits. Never include confidential third-party information.
Curriculum and corrections
The owner can publish versioned catalogue and calendar updates after reviewing official sources. Stable subject and chapter IDs preserve history; source/review metadata and date status travel with the configuration. Provisional dates stay labelled as planning estimates. Question banks and amendment explanations need their own content review; a catalogue update does not automatically certify them.
Report a suspected error to help@charterprep.ai with your course, level, attempt and the question or page. Avoid passwords, payment details and other students' records. We will investigate; correction response times are not guaranteed.
Proof and privacy
We do not claim a verified pass rate, guaranteed result or quantified time saving. Any future outcome report must disclose the cohort, period, sample size, collection method and limitations. We publish a student's story only with permission for the exact material shown.
Private notes, conversations and study records are not shared with ambassadors, employers, institutes or other students as marketing proof. An institutional product would need separate access controls and consent before release.
