CFASF'S CFA® LEVEL II OFFERINGS
The Level II exam has the reputation as a difficult, heavily analytical exam. The focus is on the application and analysis of Investment tools and concepts through multiple choice questions and item sets (vignettes with 5 or 6 related multiple-choice questions).
CFASF's instructors provide guidance through the difficult concepts and complex formulas they emphasize key analytical results in each session, provide test-taking strategies for the difficult areas, and work through past exam questions. Our instructors specialize in a study session area and know it thoroughly.
CFASF offers its popular CFA® Review course in two convenient formats: a weekly evening course (multi-week course) and a Saturday course. A mock exam and accounting workshop is also offered. Click on the link below for more details about our offerings.
