Varsity Tutors can set you up with Pittsburgh CFA prep if you're preparing to take the CFA exams. More than 150,000 professionals around the globe hold a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential. If you're wanting to join the ranks with these other professionals, you'll need to take the three levels of the CFA exam. Whether you attended classes at schools like the University of Pittsburgh, Chatham University, or another nearby university, it might be beneficial to review the course work you've done as you prepare for the CFA exams. A Pittsburgh CFA prep course can help you feel more confident when it comes time to take each of the three Levels of the CFA exam.
What are some of the topics the Pittsburgh CFA prep cover?
The CFA Institute gives a credential to those people who take the Chartered Financial Analyst, or CFA, exam. This test consists of three Levels, and you must pass one Level before you can take the next Level exam. All of the tests are given in June each year with the exception of the Level One exam. There is an additional test date for the Level One exam in December. For each exam cycle, the curriculum of the CFA is updated, but the topics of the exams remain the same. For instance, you might need to know how Financial Reporting and Analysis works or what Quantitative Methods are.
During Pittsburgh CFA prep, you will want to look at the format in addition to the content of the exam. The first two Levels are comprised of multiple-choice questions while the Level Three exam has essay questions. You can guess on these exams without being penalized for wrong answers, so it's best not to leave anything blank. Your CFA instructor can give you some test-taking strategies on how to eliminate answers and make a good guess. They can also give you some strategies on how to tackle the essay questions in the third CFA exam. For example, they might tell you to read through the question first and eliminate answers that are obviously wrong.
What are the perks of the two types of Pittsburgh CFA prep?
Varsity Tutors can set you up with two different types of prep: private tutoring and online classes. Most students find that one type of prep works best for them, but a few students will participate in both types. Each prep type has its unique benefits depending upon the way you like to learn. No matter which one you pick, you'll have an instructor who knows the format and content of the CFA exams. They can help you discover any knowledge gaps you may have and sharpen your skills before you take the exams.
Working with others can enhance your prep experience. When you take a Pittsburgh CFA prep class, you can collaborate with other students through our Live Learning Platform. You'll have an instructor who will use a video chat and a virtual whiteboard to communicate with you and your classmates. You'll feel like you're sitting in a physical classroom, but you won't have the commute. While you're in the CFA class, you and the other students can discuss many topics to gain a better understanding, and you can ask questions about concepts that are difficult for you. If you still don't understand a concept, your instructor can meet with you one-on-one outside of class.
Sometimes private instruction is better for students. A Pittsburgh CFA tutor can work with you one-on-one and focus on your individual needs. For example, maybe you're struggling with understanding Alternative Investments, so your academic mentor might spend two or three sessions reviewing these. If you have a good grasp on other topics, you might not spend as much time reviewing them. You not only get to decide the content, but you can set the pace of each session. Your private instructor can give you feedback as you progress through your sessions, so you'll know how you're doing.
How do I sign up for CFA prep?
No matter what type of Pittsburgh CFA preparation you choose, you'll have the benefit of an instructor who's an expert in the CFA exams and is ready to help you. With our flexible scheduling, you can choose the time that works for your busy schedule. If you want to know more about online group classes or private tutoring, contact our educational consultants to learn more or ask any questions you may have. Reach out to Varsity Tutors today to get started on your Pittsburgh CFA prep.
Brad: Pittsburgh 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.... I would talk about my learning habits with the student and refer them to some useful online/in person resources as well as ask questions to prompt independent thinking.
