This coaching workshop provides a lean and well-thought out CFA® Level I exam preparation program that will “fire up” your motivation to keep you on top of your study schedule, thereby significantly increasing your chances of passing the exam.
The focus is on getting you in the right mindframe for the CFA® exam “study marathon”; on monitoring your exam preparation progress; and on troubleshooting technical difficulties with the exam material. By using a personalized approach, and by making extensive use of quizzes composed of exam-style questions, you will be coached on what you need to do to be well prepared. Participants are expected to review the topic material before each coaching session, during which the discussions will clarify and improve your understanding of both the concepts underpinning exam questions and the rationale for solving them.
