What are some of the topics a Salt Lake City CFA class can cover?
The CFA or Chartered Financial Analyst is a credential given by the CFA Institute. It is recognized across the finance industry here and abroad. Having the credential can help you advance in your career in finance and investment.
The exam has three Levels which increase in difficulty as you move up. You are required to pass all three in sequence. Level I has 240 multiple-choice questions, whereas Level II has 120 questions. Level III contains about 8 to 12 essay questions that can add up to a maximum score of 180 points. There are also 11 multiple-choice questions with 8 statement cases that have 6 questions each and 3 statement cases with 4 questions each. You need to use the information given in the case statement to answer the questions. All the Levels will have a mix of topics that test you on your knowledge of ethics and professional standards, investment tools, asset classes, and portfolio management and wealth planning. The exam is given annually in June for all the test Levels with an additional test date in December only for the CFA Level I exam.
You can know more about the types of questions and format of each Level as your Salt Lake City CFA class instructor guides you through the review. Aside from the test content, you can also learn effective test-taking techniques and some good study habits that can help you maintain your motivation throughout your review.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Salt Lake City CFA course?
A CFA course with Varsity Tutors has several advantages over studying on your own. You can learn faster and have a deeper understanding of concepts in the finance and investment world since you will be studying with instructors who can answer your questions immediately and can even give you real-world examples based on their experience in the industry. Having access to professional and experienced instructors can save you a lot of time and effort compared to looking up answers by yourself and even risking studying the wrong answers to your questions.
These courses take place online, so you don't need to set aside extra hours for your commute. All you need is your internet connection and your computer in order to join the review. You can attend these live online classes in a virtual classroom where you can interact with your instructor and classmates via video chat. We also have an online whiteboard for the discussions and lectures so you can review as if you were in a real, physical classroom.
There are also many opportunities to learn from other students by listening to their perspectives on topics or cases presented in the class. Your instructor may divide you into groups so you can work on practice questions together. Group study has shown to help students by breaking the monotony in their studies and encouraging creative thinking in solving problems. And if you find yourself stuck with a certain problem or question, you can also reserve a one-on-one meeting with your instructor to get extra help. These online courses offer this personalized option to students to make sure that they have many ways to address their difficulties and improve their performance in the test.
