What changed, when, and why.

Every fix to the question bank and the product, in the open. Including the embarrassing ones, because a correction you cannot see is not a correction.

Tags: FIX something was wrong. ADD new content or feature. CUT something removed or retired. MEASURED we ran the numbers and published them.

August 5, 2026
  • FixRe-tagged all 158 REG property-transaction questions, which had been sitting under one generic label, into five proper Blueprint topics.
  • MeasuredThat re-tag exposed a real hole: zero questions on cost recovery (MACRS, section 179, bonus depreciation, depletion) and only three on section 1231/1245/1250 recapture. Both are being written.
  • AddThe blueprint coverage map now expands: click any content area to see every topic inside it and how many questions each holds.
  • FixRebuilt the free 20-question sample. It was averaging 30% easier than the paid bank because we had been selecting short questions, and short questions are easy questions.
  • CutRemoved 279 questions that shipped in the sample file but were never shown to anyone.
August 4, 2026
  • FixAudited all 18 practice simulations and fixed 12 of them. Real errors: self-employment tax computed without the wage base cap, a refund figure off by $11,652, a WACC built from two incompatible rate chains, a contradictory revenue-recognition conclusion, and a proof of cash that did not reconcile to its own scenario.
  • FixTwelve simulation answer fields could never accept their own correct answers. Grading now tolerates dollar signs, commas and case.
  • FixSwept all 16,644 questions for explanations that cited the wrong option letter after answer shuffling. Found and fixed 8. Every answer key was correct; only the prose was stale.
  • CutRemoved an unsupported pass-rate milestone ("83% pass at 1,000 questions") from the results screen. We have no study behind that number, so it should not have been there.
  • FixReplaced the predicted-score model in the free sample. It used to show a number after a handful of answers; it now shows an honest range and stays hidden until 100 questions are in.
  • FixRe-tagged 87 questions that were filed under the wrong Blueprint area, and merged four duplicate topic labels that were splitting 78 questions across phantom topics.
  • AddData-use disclosure at the sample sign-in, covering study activity, AI chat text and analytics.
  • FixMobile layout overflow and an unreadable dark-mode heading in the practice app.
  • CutRetired four tells to the graveyard on the Tell Index after they failed an external audit, including two that turned out to be our own question-writer's habit rather than a property of the exam.
  • MeasuredRan all 16 tells against 5,278 questions we did not write, including AICPA-released exams. Four held up strongly, one is section-dependent, and the rest were downgraded or pulled.

Older changes were not logged. This page starts the day we decided that publishing our own corrections was worth more than looking flawless. Spotted something wrong? Tell us and it will show up here.
