CFA-Level 1 has finally come and gone, and many people are still questioning how we did it. As you may know, you will need to take this exam multiple times to maintain a good score.
The cfa exam is the most difficult exam in the entire CFA program.
The exam is incredibly rigorous and takes about 12 hours to complete. The exam consists of about 50 questions covering different aspects of the cfa program. Not only that, but if you don’t pass you won’t be able to graduate and receive your license.
In order to get into the very first level of the cfa program, you have to start your exam with a pass. Not only that, but you have to pass it on all of your first attempts! That means you need to be able to answer about 50 questions in a row. If you fail a question, you can go back and try to answer it again, but you can only really go again if you have answered it completely.
The one thing that makes the cfa program extremely difficult is the fact that the exam was originally written for an actual test. That made it impossible for people to study the exam for as long as possible, and it made it extremely difficult for people to take the test anyhow. This is another reason why I recommend that you take a few practice tests, so you can prepare for your exam and avoid making a huge mistake.
As you can probably tell by now, the cfa exam is difficult in a lot of ways. Not only did it contain questions that you probably haven’t ever seen before, but it also tested you on aspects of your life and how you interact with it in a way that you probably haven’t even considered.
After you pass the cfa exam, you will be able to start earning money to buy things (mostly guns). Since you will still have to take the exam to get your money, it is best to get the question answers right away. For instance, if you get the question “how fast can you move your finger at the shooting range?” wrong, you will not get your money. You need to realize that you can’t move your finger at the shooting range in less than three seconds.
If you have a question like, “How fast can you move your fingers at the shooting range wrong?” then you can take out your question at the next level.
A simple way to be sure you are asking the right question is to check back in with the previous level and see how fast you have moved. If you have not moved an inch since the last level, take a break and get back in the game. You will be asked the level again.
If you have asked a question already, like how fast can you move your fingers at the shooting range, then don’t take another shot until you have given that question some thought. Try to think about it, make a mental note of how long it is before you take another shot.
