Center for Financial Certification

Since lower percentages of candidates are passing the CFA exam, you need to improve your chances and gain the edge over your competition. Let us help you.

Our program is completely integrated and linked into our Candidate's Guide eBook contents. Questions and Answers are randomized while detailed Explanations are cross-referenced with the LOS and designed to identify supporting CFA Institute Candidates Readings.

The software is presented in a choice of Exam or Class Category. The Exam Category is structured with the 11 major Exam Topics while the Class Category is structured by the 18 specific Study Sessions. The program engine presents four types of study/testing options.

The 4 Study Modes:

The Adaptive Exam Mode:
Adaptive testing is a time saving option used to identify the candidate's strengths and weaknesses. Before you learn about your subject using the Quizzer Study Sessions, you should take the Adaptive exams. You are given a time limit in which to complete the adaptive exam. You are presented with a minimum of 36 questions and maximum of 45 questions in 55 minutes. Reach the passing score and you exit the Adaptive test mode. When the time limit has been reached, your exam automatically ends. This is a great way to start. Take three to four Adaptive tests and view your history. Now you know your strengths, your weakness and where you need to concentrate your studies. The

Study Session Mode:
In the Study Session Mode you review 3000 questions one at a time, topic by topic. Learn all there is to know about each question concept using the detailed explanation, link to the eBook LOS chapter(s) and reference CFA Institute's readings by page number.

Simulated Exam Mode:
FinancialExams Quizzer also provides a full-featured 240 question Simulated Certification Exams. Questions are chosen at random from the database. The Simulated Exam is a timed test that presents a similar number of questions (240) as the real exam. A break from testing occurs at the 120 question mid-point of the exam. So you get a full six (6) hour exam with a ninty (90) minute break. Just like the real thing. Note: you can limit your time to 3 hours if you wish and still get a Mock Exam of 120 questions. Flash Card Mode: Use the computer to display definitions, think of the correct term, and select F4 on the keyboard to display the correct answer.
