The real dashboard, shown with sample student data.
Learn the rule behind every answer
ACAMS exams reward people who can apply a standard to a real scenario. Every explanation names the FATF Recommendation, regulation or rule behind the answer, so you learn why, not just what.
- Original questions written to each exam's official blueprint
- Trap answers called out, like OFAC's 50% rule vs the EU's 'more than 50%'
- Practice by topic or mixed, with instant feedback
See your weak spots before the exam does
Your Readiness Score day by day, accuracy by topic with the weakest first, and every timed simulation against the pass line. One click on a topic starts a drill on it.
- Topic accuracy updates after every question
- Simulation scores plotted against your exam's pass line
- The Today list sends you to your weakest topic first
Remember it on exam day, not just tonight
Spaced repetition brings each card back right before you'd forget it. Cards you miss return in 10 minutes. Cards you know wait days or weeks.
- Flashcards per exam, built from the key facts that get tested
- 15 new cards a day, so reviews never pile up
- Mastery feeds straight into your Readiness Score
Turn every missed question into a point
Every question you get wrong is saved with its explanation. It only clears after you get it right twice in a row, so lucky guesses don't count.
- Re-test all your mistakes in one click
- See the right answer and the rule behind it
- Shows how many you've cleared, to keep you going
Walk in having done it before
Timed mocks with no feedback until you submit, the way test day works. Practise pacing so the clock never surprises you.
- Timed at a realistic exam pace: about 1 minute 45 seconds per question

Questions before you buy
Can I try it before I pay?

What if I study and still fail?
That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your exam within 60 days. If you don't pass, send your score report within 30 days and we refund 100%.
Is it a subscription?
Yes. All-Access is $147 a month (about $4.83 a day) and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel in two clicks from your account, and there's no minimum term. Most people study for 1 to 3 months. If you're taking several certifications over the year, the yearly plan is $1,323 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.
How long do I keep access?

Are these real exam questions?
No one can legally sell the actual exam questions. Ours are original questions written to match each exam's official blueprint, format and difficulty, with an explanation for every answer and the standard or rule it comes from, so you can check our work.
Is the content up to date?
We check every exam page against ACAMS' current published information and show the date it was last checked. In 2026 that included the new CAMS course structure, CCAS's updated program and the renamed advanced certifications (Certified AFC Auditor, Investigator and Risk Manager).
Do I still need to buy the ACAMS package?
Yes. ACAMS sells the official study materials and the exam together, and you need ACAMS membership and approved eligibility to sit it. We're the extra practice: more questions, timed simulations, flashcards and a Readiness Score so you know when you're ready.
Are you affiliated with ACAMS?
No. AMLExamPrep is an independent exam-prep company. ACAMS, CAMS, CGSS, CAFS, CCAS, CKYCA, CTMA and CAFCA are trademarks of their owner, used only to describe the exams we help you prepare for.
