The Chartered Financial Analyst, or CFA, credential requires passing three levels of exams, and Varsity Tutors can set you up with a Chicago CFA Exam course to help you prepare. Whether you're taking CFA Levels I, II, or III, a qualified instructor can lead thorough reviews of financial topics and test content. These include concepts related to making investment decisions and analyses and providing portfolio management services to clients. Sign up for a course today whether you have already started your career or you are still earning your degree at the University of Chicago or the University of Illinois at Chicago.
What Does a Chicago CFA Exam Course Cover?
The CFA credential is sought by professionals throughout the world. It is held by more than 150,000 financial professionals. To earn it, you must demonstrate proficiency in investment analysis and portfolio management. A test prep course is useful in reviewing what you've learned and in becoming more confident in reaching your performance goals on the exam. For example, your instructor can cover economics concepts, ethical and professional standards, and financial reporting and analysis. You'll also need to be well-versed in quantitative methods, corporate finance, fixed income, equity investments, and derivatives.
Your instructor will review content in accordance with the exam level you are taking. For Level I, they can assist in preparing you to answer a large number of questions over two 3-hour sessions. Although these are multiple-choice, you must have the knowledge to be able to accurately answer sentence completion and topic-based questions. Level II questions focus on your ability to assess specific cases, so your instructor can concentrate on applying your knowledge there. Level II requires you to provide written responses. An exam prep course can include similar essay questions and help you structure practice responses so you can analyze each question and provide a quick and accurate response on test day.
Another key component is a review of the format of the CFA credential exams. If you've never applied your investment and portfolio management skills so intensely before, expert insight into how questions are constructed can help you prepare. Your instructor can explain how to look for key words and clues, and effective ways to cross out wrong answers; their advice can help you reach for your full potential and approach the exam with confidence, regardless of which level you are taking.
How Can a Chicago CFA Exam Class Help Me?
A Chicago CFA Exam class can be extremely helpful, no matter where you log in from. Each session is hosted on a Live Learning Platform. You can engage with your instructor and peers using video chat, while a virtual whiteboard helps your instructor illustrate the lesson. You can interact and collaborate and receive real-time feedback just as if you were in a physical classroom. When there are questions, your peers can assist in answering them, and you can do the same when someone else inquires about a topic you know well. Collaborating with people also working to earn their CFA credential can help you learn on a higher level and help you focus on your career aspirations.
The format of an online Chicago CFA Exam class is also extremely convenient. You save time by not having to commute and can learn and study in a comfortable environment where there are no distractions. The format enables you to receive comprehensive coverage of ethics topics or wealth planning, for example, and you won't miss out on key points of review. Since every subsequent level of the exam has content that increases in complexity, it's important to stay focused on your studying and test prep with an instructor who knows what you need.
How Do I Sign Up for a Chicago CFA Exam Prep Course?
Whether you can set aside time for a Chicago CFA Exam course during lunchtime, in the afternoons, or on the weekend, Varsity Tutors can help find an option that works for you. Depending on your level and confidence in your test prep, you might choose a two-week or four-week course session. New courses also start on a monthly basis, so you never have to wait too long before starting. However, you should always consider finding test prep solutions well in advance of your exam date. If you are planning to take any level of the CFA credential exams, call us. An educational consultant will answer your questions and help set you up with an online Chicago CFA Exam course.
