Questions about the check
- What is the Financial Fitness Check?
- A free, ten-question quiz on how money works: paychecks, saving, credit, investing basics, and protecting your money. Each right answer is worth 10 points, and the results show how you did in each topic, with a lesson that covers it.
- Does it measure my financial health?
- No. It measures what you know about how money works, not your savings, debt, income, or habits. Every question is about how money works in general, none asks about your actual accounts, and a score is not a grade on your finances.
- How is the score calculated?
- Ten questions, 10 points each, for a total out of 100. Nothing else goes into it. A wrong answer adds nothing and takes nothing away.
- Is my information saved?
- No. There is no account and no sign-up. Your answers stay on the page while you take the check and are gone when you leave. ClearMoneySchool does not store your answers or your score.
- Is this financial advice?
- No. ClearMoneySchool is education, not advice. The check shows what you know. It does not tell you what to do with your money. For decisions about your own situation, a licensed professional can look at the details.
- What does a low score mean?
- Only that some topics are new to you. The score reflects ten questions, not your intelligence and not your finances. Each topic with a gap links to a lesson that explains it.
- Where do the answers come from?
- Each explanation is written from primary sources. The credit question draws on FICO's published score factors, and the scam question on FTC guidance. The lessons linked in your results carry their own sources.
- Can I take it again?
- Yes, as many times as you like. The questions stay the same each time.
- Can I share or embed it?
- You can copy your score to share it, and the share line says the check scores knowledge, not finances. Organizations can embed the check on their own site using the code on this page.
