CFA Exam

The CFA exam is given using a computer-based testing environment. If a candidate wants to take the exam, they must go to the CFE exam centre and do so. The CFA exam will include no multiple-choice questions (MCQs)and set-based questions (SBQs). The length of the CFA exam is numbered below: 

1. Level I: 6 hours
2. Level II: 4 hours and 24 minutes (divided into two sessions of 2 hours and 12 minutes each)
3. Level III: 4 hours and 24 minutes (divided into two sessions of 2 hours and 12 minutes each)

No, candidates cannot change their pathway in the middle of the CFA registration process. If the candidate is taking the CFA Level 3 exam for the second time, then they have the option of changing their specialised pathway. The content for all the three pathways are available online for CFA preparation. 

The CFA institute has introduced the specialised pathways because:

• Career discovery
• Mastering a specific field 
• Choosing which field aligns best with interests and aspirations of the students
• Credentialing. Passing a challenging exam for the role will benefit the candidates by benefiting their clients and their employers.

The applicants should connect with the exam conducting authority, CFA Institute, if there an error in the CFA admit card. To avoid issues on the exam day, it is important to rectify the errors. Students may be required to submit supporting documents to get the rectifications in place. Once the correction is done, download a coloured copy of the CFA admit card using the login credentials.
