“Love the (study planner), it’s been instrumental in my exam prep… You’re genuinely a life saver!”
Tom Flavahan
“My first stop (after registering for the CAIA exams) was reading articles on your website and downloading the planner.”
Lydia Reeves: used planner for all CFA levels (and now CAIA!)
CAIA candidates often ask us on how best to make their CAIA study plan to keep them on track. Or whether they can finish studying the CAIA curriculum in a set number of months.
The ‘problem’ with these questions is that each individual should have their own optimal plan that suits their circumstances – there is no one-size-fits-all.
Since we get these questions frequently, we have adapted our famous CFA study planner – used by more than 50,000 candidates successfully – to become a CAIA study planner too!
Our free, personalized CAIA study planner will help you:
Let’s go!
We built our CAIA study planner with two guiding principles:
Minimal input with maximum pass chances. Nothing else matters.
More than 50,000 readers have successfully used our planner. You can generate your own in less than a minute.
We will create a personalized CAIA study planner for you with 3 core features:
With our online planner, you can check your study progress at any time, and see if you’re on track to complete all your studies before your CAIA exam day.
The planner also monitors the remaining days left to your exam with your study plan and progress, alerting you if you are falling behind.
It also charts your study hours, showing your progress against past periods.
Our study planner prioritizes exam performance – exam weighting is built into every assessment. Throughout your studies you will have a progress % showing how much of the exam you’ve covered, and how far ahead – or behind – you are.
The planner also considers exam weights, difficulty and progress to highlight topics that you should prioritize.
As you progress through your studies, reviewing topics and completing mock exams, marking your progress as ‘done’ in the planner actually contributes towards your sense of achievement and helps you maintain a more disciplined approach to your CAIA exam studies.
Combining past candidate performance data and your study data, we can even attempt to predict your CAIA exam performance.
Of course, this is just a prediction, and not a guarantee!
As you enter your mock exam scores, these are auto-benchmarked to show you if you are scoring well against historical candidates performance.
We have past candidates’ actual CAIA results, so we can create a reliable benchmark to show you if you’re trending towards a pass, or you need to step it up.
This better informs you if your scores need improving, and helps reassure you if your scores are on a good trend.
What do you think? I hope you found this simple framework useful for your study planning, and that you now have your online planner to use. Share this with a friend who just registered for CAIA too!
