Thanks to Varsity Tutors, you have the opportunity to take a comprehensive Memphis CFA prep course designed to enhance your preparations for the Chartered Financial Analyst exams. If you have been studying at the University of Memphis, Christian Brothers University, or any other area institution and are interested in building on the knowledge you've already gained, this test prep course can help. Get a better understanding of topic areas covered on the exams and learn valuable study strategies that can help you reach for your goal of success on your test days.
What are some topics a Memphis CFA class can help me study?
In order to become a CFA, candidates are required to earn the CFA credential, which is held by more than 150,000 professionals worldwide. The CFA Institute offers three CFA exams: Level I, Level II, and Level III. Candidates must take and pass each exam level in sequence and showcase their knowledge of asset classes, investment tools, wealth planning, portfolio management, and advanced investment analysis to earn the CFA credential. The three exam levels are offered every June, while Level I is also available annually in December. Before sitting for the Level I exam, candidates must secure a bachelor's degree or have worked at least four years full-time in a professional environment where they made decisions about investments. Alternative options for exam eligibility include being in your final college year and having at least four years of combined professional and college experience.
The curriculum for the CFA exams is updated each exam cycle; however, there are 10 topic areas that are consistently covered at all three levels. In the Memphis CFA course, you have a chance to gain a better understanding of these topic areas, which include economics, quantitative methods, and ethical and professional standards. The CFA course can also help boost your confidence as an exam taker and provide strategies for relieving testing anxieties. This is especially beneficial since the exams are designed to increase in complexity as you proceed through each level. Your instructor can offer tips for staying composed and not feeling overwhelmed with each level's increasing difficulty.
What are some advantages of taking a Memphis CFA course?
The CFA class can help you develop an understanding of the different types of questions you will encounter on the exams. Level I features 240 multiple-choice questions that are divided into two 3-hour sessions. These questions are split between two formats: questions with three unique choices and sentence completion with three unique choices. Level II consists of 120 multiple-choice questions that are broken into 18 vignettes (or case statements) with six questions each and three vignettes with four questions each. Level III is composed of about 8-12 constructed response (essay) questions, eight vignettes with six questions each, and three vignettes with four questions each. Your instructor can help improve your knowledge of these question types and offer techniques for answering them efficiently and effectively.
Each CFA exam level is taken in morning and afternoon sessions over predetermined periods of time. Your Memphis CFA class instructor can offer helpful strategies for setting a good pace during these sessions so you don't have to worry about running out of time without answering all of the questions. Learning these strategies is especially beneficial for the Level I and Level II exams since they don't issue penalties for incorrect answers.
This Memphis CFA class is offered online via live video meetings that let you interact with your instructor and classmates in real time. If you need help understanding topic areas like corporate finance, fixed income, or derivatives, your instructor can help, and your peers can provide insight too. You can also make a difference by contributing to class discussions or helping your classmates grasp specific concepts. Your instructor might break the class into small groups where you can spend more time going over topic areas and encouraging each other before test day. If you need personal attention outside of class, you can set up a one-on-one meeting with your instructor.

Brad: Memphis CFA course instructor
I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.
