Open paperHow the AI works
Most online CPA prep is a static PDF library. HighMarks behaves like a tutor who actually pays attention. Three loops run quietly in the background as you study.
Personalised re-explainer
Get the same objective wrong three times and the AI rewrites the lesson around your specific misconception — not a generic recap. If you keep confusing margin and mark-up, your next lesson opens with that exact distinction.
Topic mastery scoring
Every answer updates a per-topic mastery score (0–1) using a rolling window. Two weeks before the sitting you know exactly which 3 topics still need work — no false confidence.
Adaptive 15-min plan
Each morning the AI rebuilds your study plan based on yesterday’s mistakes. 15 minutes a day on the right topics beats 6-week cramming on the wrong ones.
Every lesson reviewed by a Kenyan CPA before it ships
We use AI to draft fast and a CPA-qualified reviewer to ship safe. Tax rates, IFRS references, Companies Act 2015 sections — nothing is published until a qualified accountant has signed off. You won’t learn the wrong PAYE rate from us.
- Built around the official KASNEB CF11 syllabus
- Worked examples in KES with Kenyan business context
- CBE-style mock interface matches the real KASNEB exam

Comparison shown as best-faith reading of publicly listed pricing as of June 2026. Strathmore Express remains the gold standard for live tuition; HighMarks complements it with daily self-study reps.
Why most candidates fail Foundation
- • Spread too thin — trying to cover the whole syllabus instead of fixing 2-3 weak topics.
- • Generic notes — revision kits explain it the same way for everyone, even after you’ve already misunderstood once.
- • No realistic mocks — PDF practice papers don’t prepare you for the CBE interface.
- • Late start — cramming the last 6 weeks instead of consistent 30-min daily prep.
How HighMarks fixes it
- • Mastery scoring per topic — see exactly where you stand before the sitting.
- • Personalised re-explainers — when you keep getting one topic wrong, the AI rewrites the lesson around your misconception.
- • CBE-style mock interface — same look-and-feel as the actual KASNEB exam.
- • Daily nudges — 15 minutes a day beats 6-week cramming.
Free while we’re in beta.
All 18 CPA papers, full AI tutor access, every past-paper drill — free. When we exit beta and turn on paid plans (likely KES 1,500/month for the full pathway), we’ll email you with 30 days’ notice. Until then: keep practising.
Common questions
How much does it cost?
Right now: nothing. CPA is free while we're in beta — full access to all 18 papers, no card needed. When we exit beta and turn on paid plans (likely KES 1,500/month for the full pathway), you'll get 30 days' notice by email.
What does 'beta' mean for the content?
All 18 papers have AI-drafted lessons + verified KASNEB past-paper questions in your dashboard today. Council-scoring + a Kenyan-CPA reviewer pass over every paper before it loses the beta badge. Until then, every question has a 'flag if wrong' button — one click reports it; the queue is checked daily.
Do I still need the official KASNEB study text?
Not for practice. HighMarks covers the full syllabus across all 18 papers with concise notes, drills, and worked KASNEB-style answers. The official text is supplementary if you want depth on a specific topic.
When are the next KASNEB sittings?
April, August, December. The dashboard tracks days-to-sitting once you pick your active paper, and the study plan rebuilds weekly based on how much time you have left.
Can I switch papers any time?
Yes. The full plan covers every paper at every level you're enrolled for. Sit one paper or all six in a sitting; the dashboard prioritises whichever paper you've marked active.
Can I invite friends for a free month?
Yes — 5 friends sign up and you get 1 month free. They each get a free week. Stack months by inviting more, no cap.
Can my employer pay for this?
Yes. We invoice your L&D / HR team. KES 1,500/month is well under typical professional-development budgets. Email accounts@highmarks.io for an invoice.
What if I fail my exam?
We don't refund based on results — exam outcomes depend on many factors beyond practice. But the trial gives you 7 days to test whether HighMarks actually works for you before paying anything.
Not ready to sign up yet?
Drop your email and we’ll send a heads-up the week before official launch (with the 50% founding-member discount inside). No commitment.
