Registrant Prep (formerly Ciroexam) is a Canadian securities exam preparation platform built specifically for the nine CIRO proficiency exams that replaced the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) in 2026. It provides practice questions, mock exams, flashcards, and an AI tutor that cites actual regulatory rules — all under one subscription.
What is Registrant Prep?
Registrant Prep prepares candidates for all nine CIRO exams: CIRE, Retail Securities, Supervisor, Trader, Derivatives, Institutional Securities, Director & Executive, CCO, and CFO. Input the free 25‑question diagnostic mock exam to get an outcome‑by‑outcome score in ~25 minutes (no card, no signup). The platform then serves 16,000+ practice questions, spaced‑repetition flashcards, and full‑length mock exams. It runs in any modern web browser and is built by the same team that launched Ciroexam — independent of CIRO, CSI, and Fitch Learning.
Key Features
- 16,000+ practice questions — Each tagged to a specific CIRO learning outcome and Bloom’s verb level (Remember / Understand / Apply / Analyze). Distractors come from common misconceptions, not noise.
- AI tutor grounded in real regulations — Answers cite specific sections of NI 31‑103, UMIR, PCMLTFA, IDPC Rules, and CIRO Consolidated Rules. The tutor won’t answer outside the syllabus, reducing hallucinations.
- Two full mock exams per course + a custom weak‑area mock — Timed Fitch‑style sittings with the real question counts and time limits. The custom mock pulls only from your weakest outcomes.
- 9,000+ confidence‑aware flashcards — Spaced repetition schedules cards based on your mastery level, covering every learning outcome across all nine exams.
- Pass‑probability dashboard — A 0–100 score that blends accuracy, breadth, lesson depth, and best mock performance with recency decay. Shows your five weakest outcomes by name.
- Teach‑it‑back grading — After any practice question, you can explain the rule in your own words; the AI scores 0–100, lists what you covered, what you missed, and any factual misconceptions.
- All nine exams in one subscription — Pass the CIRE, then move to Retail, Supervisor, Trader, or Derivatives without switching platforms or paying extra.
- Free first module in every course — Full lessons, practice bank, and AI tutor for Element 1 (Regulatory Framework) with no credit card.
Who is it for?
- CSC switchers — Candidates who started the old Canadian Securities Course and need to pivot to the CIRE or a role‑based exam (e.g., Retail Securities, Supervisor).
- New CIRO exam candidates — Anyone required to pass CIRE first (the foundation exam), then a role‑specific exam for their registration category.
- Dealer members and compliance teams — Firms looking for a single, affordable prep resource for multiple employees across different roles (CCO, CFO, Director & Executive).
- Self‑directed learners — Individuals who prefer short, rule‑cited lessons and a structured feedback loop over expensive textbook bundles.
What can you do with Registrant Prep?
- Diagnose your readiness for free — Take the 25‑question CIRE mock exam without signing up; get element‑level scores that tell you exactly where to focus.
- Drill your weakest outcomes — The dashboard names your five lowest‑scoring outcomes; one click pulls a rapid‑fire drill from those specific learning objectives.
- Simulate the real exam — Take two full‑length mock exams per course under timed conditions, then generate a custom mock from your weak areas to close gaps before the real test.
- Explain rules to the AI tutor and get graded — On any practice question, ask the tutor to explain why a distractor is wrong, then teach it back in your own words for automated scoring.
