Practise YKI-style reading, listening, writing, and speaking tasks. Writing and speaking feedback helps you see what to improve, while your daily plan keeps your practice focused. finnly is a study tool; it does not guarantee an exam result.

No. The words and everyday situations you practise are useful for life in Finland too, from understanding a conversation to writing a message at work. You can use finnly to build your Finnish whether or not you have an exam planned.
How long will it take to reach B1?
That depends on your starting level, how regularly you practise, and how much Finnish you use outside the app. Your placement check and progress help you understand where you are and what to work on next.
