W!SE has officially named Khan Academy’s Financial Literacy course as a top prep resource for the W!SE exam. That means you have one trusted, free, all-in-one tool to support your students in building money skills and earning certification.
One course covers it all
You no longer need to dig through many resources to assemble what students need for W!SE exam. Khan Academy’s course includes:
- Budgeting and saving
- Credit and debt
- Taxes and insurance
- Banking, investing, core economics
- Practice challenges that mirror the W!SE exam’s format
Plus, since the course launched, Khan Academy has expanded it to include new units on employment, banking, car buying, and housing to help students understand real-life money decisions.
A Note for Virginia Teachers
If you are a Virginia teacher, Khan Academy also offers the Economics and Personal Finance course, which was built specifically to align with Virginia’s state standards. This course includes both economics and personal finance content, ensuring that you can meet all of the state’s instructional requirements.
Much of the personal finance material in this course overlaps with the Financial Literacy course, so students still get exposure to the same core lessons that prepare them for the W!SE financial literacy exam. However, the Financial Literacy course remains the best targeted exam preparation resource, while the Economics and Personal Finance course ensures full compliance with Virginia’s curriculum standards.
This Virginia-specific course was made possible through the support of Capital One.
