CFA Study Tips
I get a lot of emails from hedge fund professionals professionals looking for networking or studying tips while earning their CFA designation. Here are some tips contributed by one of these individuals:
Top 5 CFA Level 1 tips
- Focus on biggest "bang for bucks" sections (Check the LOS guide but it should be FSA, Asset Valuation, Econ)
- Familiarize yourself with Ethics "way of thinking" early on
- Start taking practice exams at least a month before the exam (CFA institute has free and $50 exams on its website)
- Beware of timing : Take at least two timed practice exams - 90 secs per question
- On the day of the exam: Start with your favorite sections
Have any tips you would like to contribute? I can be emailed at Richard@RichardCWilson.com.
If you have a need for a CFA designated financial analyst at your hedge fund please send me an email and I'll connect you with the long/short fund analyst that put these tips together for me.
