Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a private Sacramento CFA tutor or set you up with online courses that can help you move one step forward to earning your CFA credential. The CFA will cover material that you have learned throughout your time in school. Whether you have been attending the University of California, California State University-Sacramento, or another local school, you have put in a lot of work to get this far. You will want to do well on the exam so that hard work pays off. Students can benefit from a thorough review of the necessary information before the exam day. Whether you decide to take an online Sacramento CFA prep course or get the help of a private tutor, you will probably receive a more in-depth review than if you were studying on your own.
What material will be covered in Sacramento CFA prep?
The Chartered Financial Analyst or CFA consists of three Levels that deal with advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills. Over 150,000 people in the world hold the CFA credential. You can expect to see topics on the exam such as ethical and professional standards, economics, derivatives, fixed income, and more. Since there is such a wide variety covered on each level of the exam, you will want to be as prepared as possible. Level One of the exam has 240 multiple-choice questions that are split between two three-hour sections. Level Two has a total of 120 questions split into morning and afternoon sections. Level Three consists of essay questions and item set questions. There are morning and afternoon sessions for Level Three as well.
During Sacramento CFA prep, not only will the contents be covered, but also the format of the exam as well. The CFA has many different question types, and your instructor can teach you about all of them. Your CFA prep instructor can also show you strategies to help you maximize your chances of guessing a correct answer when you aren't sure of the right answer.
What are some advantages of the two types of CFA prep?
Varsity Tutors can help you get set up with two types of CFA prep, including online courses and private instruction. You will probably find that one method appeals to you more than the other. However, you may decide to do both to make the most out of your prep time. Each option has unique benefits, and no matter which one you choose, you will be taught by an expert in the field. Now let's look at the benefits of each type of CFA prep.
You may prefer to enroll in an online Sacramento CFA prep class if you prefer to work in a more traditional classroom environment. You will attend class by logging onto the Live Learning Platform. In the platform, you can use the video chat and online whiteboard features to enhance your learning experience further. In a virtual classroom, you can still see and interact with your instructor and peers as if they were right next to you. This environment allows for a group study setting as well which can help you build a stronger foundation in the core material like alternative investments, economics, and quantitative methods. You will also be able to learn content from different perspectives and share your point of view with your peers as well. If at any time you need more help, you can always schedule a one-on-one meeting with your instructor.
If this one-on-one time is something you prefer more, you may want to be connected with a Sacramento CFA tutor. When you work with a private instructor, you are able to receive a customized learning experience. For example, if you are a visual learner, your private mentor can work flashcards, charts, and diagrams into your sessions. Also, in individual sessions, you can work at your pace. For instance, if you struggle with portfolio management, your instructor can slow down and teach the material in multiple steps until you are comfortable with it. On the other hand, you can skip over material that you have already mastered.
How can I get started with Sacramento CFA preparation?
No matter which option you choose, you will be learning from an instructor who is qualified and experienced in helping students prepare for the CFA. With the flexible scheduling options that are offered with online classes and tutoring, even the busiest of students can find time for prep.
