Hello,
CFA stands for Chartered financial analyst. It is one of the top professional courses that is used in the real time world. It is also competitive and tougher exam to crack.
It has three levels namely 1, 2 & 3. If you have cleared all the three, then you would be a complete CFA whose standard is huge.
After completing CFA level 1, there are not many job opportunities, to be frank. Some prospects are there but you need to possess many skills to get those jobs. In this market, you can survive only if you have additional skills as well as a stand out quality.
You need to improve your presentation skills and Interpretation skills. You need to be different from others even if you sail in the same boat. If you have just passed the level 1 CFA exam, your presentation skills have a larger impact on the quality of the job you can land than your academic credentials.
The following are some of the preparation tips for CFA level 2:
A plan of rigorous study effort is required. You need to remember that, Level II is only held once a year, so you should wait for one whole additional year if you don't make it.
Hard work only pays off and there is no way out. You need to be preparing according to a planned schedule and yes, a long term effort is required for level 2.
You need to prepare in such a way that you could answer the tricky questions in the right way. For that, practice is the only key. The examiner would expect the candidate to have a broad thinking, so that the questions would obviously be tough.
It is important to assess yourself often, so that you can know where to improve and also your current state of preparation. So, you need to have a specific method of preparation.
Finally, taking practice exams, quizzes, or practice questions, really help you increase your answering efficiency staying power of the material that you learn.

Tips to crack CS in 1 year:
1.Create a plan which can be successfully executed. Give more time to topics which you find difficult and keep a buffer so that you can complete some pending tasks.
2.Focus on your strengths and sailing through the weaknesses is the best exam strategy you can bet on
3.Having too many books would lead to confusion during the time of revision and most of your doubts would remain unresolved without a good book.
4.Examiners try to trap students by playing around with the question and options. So read the question carefully to understand what is required and see the options with great concentration in case of MCQ based questions.
5.Planning the way you attempt various questions is quite crucial to crack the CS exam. You do not have to approach the question paper the way it is intended to be.

Distraction - This is a very basic challenge which people find when they appear for CA exams. With a number of distraction options in the society and social network, this will be a big challenge.
Fatigue - CA syllabus is voluminous in nature, this makes people get fatigue easily. Although people sit with books, topics might not be moving fast. This will be a major problem. According to me, it's easy to remove this challenge. While you start your preparation, be slow (make it 3 to 4 hours a day ) slowly increase the hours as days progress.
Comparison - this problem will be there for anyone who discusses CA preparation with friends. How many did you complete? What have you completed? These discussions increase your stress factor and disturb you mentally. Avoid it. Every one of us has their own speed, who finishes topic first is not a matter of evaluation.
