Common questions

What is in each pack, and what does it cost?
CPA Program subjects come three ways. The Study pack is 95: condensed notes, flashcards and a one page cheat sheet. The Exam pack is 45: practice exams with worked solutions. The Full pack is 120 for both together, which saves 20. CA ANZ subjects come as a single pack, and each subject page shows its price and exactly what is inside before you buy.
Which subjects can I buy today?
All ten CPA Program subjects and the seven core CA ANZ subjects are available now. Material for FRM and CFA is in production.
When do I get my files?
Straight after checkout. The download links appear on the confirmation screen and land in your inbox at the same time, so you can start the same night.
Are you affiliated with any professional body?
No. Summo Notes is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any professional body. We name certifications, programs and subjects only so you can find the right material. We use no official logos, colours or insignia, and we write every page ourselves.
Can I get a refund?
Digital files are hard to hand back once downloaded, so please pick carefully. If a product is faulty or not as described, you are covered under Australian Consumer Law and we will sort it out.
Do you guarantee I will pass?
No, and nobody honestly can. Our materials cut down what you have to read and show you where the marks sit. The sitting is still yours.
