Varsity Tutors can help those who are seeking New York City CFA prep help. Whether you got your bachelor's degree from Columbia University, New York University, or another university in the area, you must also pass a series of three exams to get your CFA credential. This is in addition to having four years of experience in a full-time job making decisions about investments.
What topics will I learn about during New York City CFA preparation?
There are three CFA exam levels, and they must be taken in the correct order. You can take all three levels in June of any year, but you can also take the first level in December. You can only register for a level once you have received your score for the previous one.
To register for the first level, you must have your bachelor's degree, be in your last year of college, have four years of professional work experience, or have four years of college and professional experience combined. Although completing your bachelor's degree is not required to register for the first level, it is required for the second.
The exact curriculum covered on the exam is updated every year. However, the topics you will be tested on remain the same. Some of the topics are ethical and professional standards, corporate finance, financial reporting and analysis, equity investments, and fixed income.
How can I benefit from getting New York City CFA prep?
There are two ways to prepare for the CFA exams in New York. You can sign up for a New York City CFA prep class, or you can get private tutoring.
Taking a class is a great way to get a comprehensive review of the topics you need to know for the CFA exams. You can learn not only from your teacher but from the other students as well. You can ask questions and answer questions posed by other students.
Our virtual CFA classes take place over the internet. You will be able to engage with your class teacher and the other students as if you were all in the same room. Taking a class is a great way to keep yourself motivated and on track. It is easy to procrastinate when studying alone. Taking a class can also help you discover gaps in your knowledge.
Another option is to sign up for private mentoring with a New York City CFA tutor. This private mentoring is a great way to support in-school learning. You can review what you learned in class or delve deeper into specific topics you are interested in. Tutoring is also a great option for those who prefer one-on-one instruction over group learning. You can move at a pace that works for you. For example, you can avoid spending time on topics that you have already mastered and spend more time on topics you are struggling with.
Your private CFA instructor can come to understand your learning style and plan your sessions accordingly. They can introduce resources and materials that could make your studies easier and more interesting. They may also recommend additional resources that you can find online or check out of your local library so that you can complete additional study in your free time.
Your one-on-one mentor can work with you to develop your test-taking skills. Your CFA exams will be administered in time-limited sessions. Your tutor can give you practice tests so that you get used to answering questions when faced with a deadline. They can also tell you useful test-taking strategies. For example, on the CFA exams, there are no penalties for incorrect answers. Therefore, if you do not know what the answer to a question is, you might want to take your best guess and move forward to avoid wasting too much time on it. You can always come back to it later.
You can study with your private mentor online, using our Live Learning Platform. Our video chat tool makes it easy for students to interact with their tutors. You can also request to meet with your mentor in person, whether at home or another location.

Brad: New York CFA test prep 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.
