Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, direct answers about curriculum depth, cognitive retention mechanics, CareerOps verification, and credit economics.

๐Ÿ“š Curriculum & Question Bank

How large is the question bank and what courses are supported?

Elimina maintains over 102,452+ peer-reviewed questions across 108 certification tracks, including CISSP, AIGP, AWS Security Specialist, Azure SC-100, Post-Quantum Cryptography, Zero Trust Architecture, 5G Core Security, and CMMC Level 2.

What makes Elimina's question drills different from rote question dumps?

Every scenario question is built around 2-Phase Distractor Elimination: you systematically identify why incorrect distractors are wrong before confirming the correct key. Each question delivers rich counterfactual rationales, common misconception warnings, and instant 1-click concept blueprints.

Are the questions updated for the latest exam domains?

Yes. All syllabi, domains, and concepts reflect current 2026 certification requirements, ISO standards, NIST AI RMF frameworks, and cloud provider updates.

๐Ÿง  Cognitive Science & Memory Architecture

What is FSRS-4.5 spaced repetition?

FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) is a modern machine-learning retention engine that calculates memory stability and retrievability after every drill. It schedules flashcard reviews right at the moment of optimal forgetting, cutting study time by up to 50% compared to traditional cramming.

What is Socratic AI defense?

When you answer a challenging scenario question, Socratic AI prompts you to articulate why specific alternatives fail. Defending your logic reinforces epistemic confidence and prevents lucky guessing.

๐Ÿ’ผ CareerOps, Dossiers & Skill Passports

What is the SHA-256 Skill Passport?

The Skill Passport generates a tamper-evident, cryptographically signed proof-of-competency seal based on your practice history and passing readiness. You can embed it on LinkedIn, GitHub, or your resume to verify your actual hands-on domain mastery to hiring managers.

What is Karat Passing Readiness?

A multi-axis competency radar that assesses your readiness across all testable domains, calculating an empirical passing probability score and diagnosing weak subtopics before your real test date.

๐Ÿ’Ž Credit Economics, Pricing & Access

How do credits work and is there a free tier?

Yes! Every learner receives 10 free credits daily (resetting at midnight UTC) โ€” zero credit card required. 1 credit covers 1 complete deliberate practice engagement (question drill + 4-option counterfactual rationales + concept blueprint + FSRS flashcard card schedule).

Do credits expire or roll over?

Promotional daily credits reset at midnight UTC. Purchased on-demand credit packs never expire. Monthly subscription allowances roll over up to 2x your monthly limit (up to 1,000 credits on Pro and 2,000 on CareerOps).

How does the referral bonus program work?

When you share your personal referral link from the Account tab, invited peers receive +25 bonus credits immediately upon account creation, and you earn +50 credits the moment they complete their first practice question.
