What topics will be covered during Cleveland CFA preparation?

The CFA exam has three levels. It covers topics such as alternative investments, derivatives, corporate finance, and portfolio management.

The first level has 240 questions, divided into two three-hour sessions: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. All questions will be presented in a multiple-choice format, and each question will have either three possible answers or three sentence completion choices.

The second level is made up of 120 multiple-choice questions. There will be 18 vignettes with six questions each and three vignettes with four questions each. In the morning session, 10 vignettes will be presented and 11 vignettes will be presented in the afternoon session.

The third level is divided into two sessions as well. The morning session contains 8 to 12 constructed response (essay) questions. Each question includes several subparts. The afternoon session gives you 8 vignettes with six questions each and 3 vignettes with four questions each.

Each level gets more difficult. In order to register for a level, you must have passed the previous level.

What are the different kinds of Cleveland CFA prep available?

You have two options for preparing for the CFA exam in Cleveland. You can take an online, virtual course, or you can study with a private tutor.

Taking a virtual Cleveland CFA prep class is great for those who want to benefit from a class without the hassles of leaving their home and commuting through traffic. An experienced CFA class teacher can explain the finer nuances of a topic to help you understand it better. If a question arises in your mind, you can have it answered by the instructor or by another student. You can interact with your class instructor over the internet through the use of video chat. You will be able to see, hear, and speak with the other students as well, just as you would be able to if you were in the same room.

Your teacher can help the students get better at taking tests. For the CFA exam, you will need to know how to take a test when faced with a deadline. Your writing skills should be sharp as well, as you will have constructed response questions on the third level of the CFA exam. Your teacher can give you practice tests that mimic the CFA exam. They can also give you advice on what to do if you find yourself spending too much time on a single question. On the CFA exam, there are no penalties for incorrect answers; they just do not contribute to your final score. Therefore, you might want to take your best guess if you do not know the answer to a question.

During class, you can jot down notes, which you can review after class. Your teacher can also recommend books that you can take out of the library to aid you in your private studies. If you want one-on-one time with your class instructor to ask more questions, you can request that as well.

Another option is studying with a private Cleveland CFA tutor. Private tutoring allows you to move at a pace that is comfortable for you. An educational mentor can encourage you to reach for your goals. They can make study plans to help keep you on track even when you are studying alone.

You can meet with your tutor on the internet, using our Live Learning Platform. This way, studying for the CFA exam will be easy and convenient. You can also request an in-person meeting if you prefer.
