Passing Level I is the first step towards becoming an officiated CFA Charterholder. Don’t treat it lightly! How to prepare for?
It’s certainly true that Level I is the easiest exam relative to the exam levels II and III. The key word here is relative: Level I preparation is an arduous task in its own right, and it being the easier of the three should not convince you it will be a cakewalk!
Consider the scope of the study material - level I: the fundamental ethics and professional standards, as well as a laundry list of financial topics, like equity, economics, portfolio management and so, so much more. The official CFA curriculum clocks in at approximately 3000 pages of material, so much you could study it for a year and still not master it. You only have a limited amount of time for Level I exam preparation, so every second counts.
While you will need a full and total reading of all official level I textbooks to pass, it is practically impossible to read through textbook twice, let alone read through it enough to absorb all the key concepts. To excel, you need supplementary materials and study program to guide your focus and efforts for level I.
This is why FinQuiz is such a fantastic tool for serious students. We supplement every page of material with helpful notes, tools, citations and other guide materials to ensure a comprehensive understanding of everything you need to know. Consider just some of what we offer in our Level I study material!
Congratulations on passing Level I! Take a bit to celebrate, but now’s the time to get cracking on tackling the Level II exam.
Whereas Level I was your fundamentals, Level II can be considered the more detail-oriented focus on the more complex and professional topics, like fixed income, financial statement analysis, and so much more. Just like Level I, CFA Institute’s syllabus for Level II can reach nearly 3,000 pages, but be warned: these materials are much more difficult to understand.
Level II is the essential next-step for achieving greatness in your financial career. Without Level II, you cannot move on to Level III or become an official CFA Charter holder. You’ve worked so hard to get where you are today, but you’ll have to double your efforts to achieve the prestigious designation you desire.
The road ahead is no easy one, but do not be discouraged. You conquered Level I, which means you can conquer Level II too! But don’t go at it alone: FinQuiz’s widely appraised study guide materials and practice exam will ensure you receive the proper studying experience to excel on your CFA exam Level II.
Level II CFA Program Question Bank
The question sets in the Level II exam are radically different from the ones you were tested on in Level I. At Level II, you can expect a lengthy story accompanied by data and tables, after which you will have four to six questions to answer. Our question bank mimics hundreds of these questions, simulating what you can expect on the exam. This will fully prepare you for the scope and type of responses necessary to achieve excellence.
FinQuiz Summaries
If you thought you need more succinct explanations for Level I materials, just wait till you start studying for Level II! While a rigorous reading of your official CFA curriculum is essential, our smart summaries will help condense complex topics like Financial Statement Analysis, Equity, and Fixed Income into a format that’s easier to understand and study. You’ll also have access to numerous flow charts, formula highlights and key concepts to increase your retention so that you can pass the Level II exam.
Practical Mock Exams
Just as Level I exams are different from Level II in question format, so too are they different in timing and pacing. To fully prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for your exam, you need experience in exactly how the exam will be scheduled and conducted. Our mock exams will fully fortify your mind and spirit for what will be a grueling six hours.
Formula Sheets
Memorizing a vast number of formulas is a significant obstacle to be hurdled at any stage of the CFA examination. Level II exams are no exception, and any mindful CFA candidate will want a convenient way to memorize key formulas. Our formula sheets condense all this material in an easily accessible, convenient, and highly effective formula study sheet. Never worry about memorizing those formulas again with our fantastic study sheet.
Study Plan for Level II
Pacing and order of study is far more important than you may realize at first glance! Our CFA study plan will provide a flexible, customizable outline of your studying goal and process so that you can most efficiently prepare for your Level II CFA Program Exam.
Fantastic work! Passing Level II is no easy task: now, you’re closer than ever to being a CFA Charter holder! What lies ahead is Level III, which is by far the toughest level yet.
Levels I and II weren’t easy, but compared to Level III they’re cakewalks. Every CFA charter holder will tell you just how grueling passing the Level III exam was. But just because it’s difficult doesn't mean it’s impossible: many have successfully passed the Level III program, and with strong effort, dedication, and the proper studying materials, you can be one of them. Level III is not as voluminous as its Level I and II counterparts, but what it loses in length it more than makes up for in complexity. The CFA Charterholder designation is the most prestigious title in finance for a reason: to get to it, you have to pass the Level III exam first. Intensive and comprehensive studying, training and information-gathering is essential to conquering this portion of the CFA exams. The best, and most successful CFA Program candidates don’t just study hard: they also supplement their materials with FinQuiz. FinQuiz provides more than just summations and study guides. We’ll fully prepare you for the intense essay-type format that Level III is notorious for. Our first-class prep material will guide you through Level III, offering materials, tools and strategies that will maximize your potential for success on the Level III exam. With your effort and our CFA exam-like questions, detailed and clear summations, and concise yet extensive chapter notes, success is practically guaranteed. Congratulations in advance, future CFA Charterholder! Robust Level III CFA Program Question Bank Level I was voluminous, Level II a complicated format, but Level III questions are outright frustrating. It is absolutely essential you make great use of our thousands of grueling and complex mock questions to fully and totally prepare you for the Level III exam. Our question bank is a fantastic study tool; easily navigable, and chock-full of tools like bookmarking, adding notes, and giving feedback to the FinQuiz’s question developers, this study bank will be an indispensable tool for preparation towards your Level III exam. Smart Summaries Not only are there thousands of pages of Level III material, this material is also far more complex than Level I and II. To fully master it requires a smart allocation of your time: the proper resource to do this with is our expertly crafted summations. Created by experienced CFA program teachers these summations will properly outline and detail an overview of every topic in the curriculum, complete with diagrams, bullet points and formulas. Your chance of success will increase exponentially with the Level III Summary at your disposal! Practical Mock Exams All CFA examinations are a grueling mental test, but none quite like the essay-based Level III examination. Our mock exams are formatted to mimic the time constraints and length of the actual exam, so you can fully prepare yourself for adequately allocating time towards construction of your essay and item-sets. Formula Sheets Level III contains far more numerous and far more complex formulas than the preceding levels. Thankfully, you can conquer this obstacle with easy access to our comprehensive formula sheep. Our formula sheet conveniently places every formula you need to know in a legible, accessible three-column-format sheet. Great for memorization and for parcting questions from the question bank! Study Plan Level III is highly complex and rigorous, so now more than ever you need a plan to tackle your studying. Our flexible study plan will give you the structure and order necessary to most efficiently achieve your study goals.
