A Free Customizable CFP Study Planner

∙

I’ve been hoping Zee would build this! I’ve used their planner for all 3 CFA levels and starting CFP now, so this is perfect timing!

So you’re considering, or already prepping for the CFP exams.

A couple of questions may pop into mind:

  • Do I need additional prep materials? (Pstt, check out our best CFP courses shortlist and Offers section for reviews and exclusive discounts)
  • How do I plan my studies? Can I complete studying for CFP exams in X months?

The ‘problem’ with this question is that each individual should have their own optimal plan that suits their circumstances – there is no one-size-fits-all. This is where our killer CFP study planner tool come in 🙂

Our personalized CFP study planner will help you:

  • Predict your CFP exam score
  • Benchmark your mock scores against historical candidate data
  • Track all your study efforts
  • Map the curriculum you’ve covered, identify weak spots and auto-prioritize

Our CFP exam study planner builds from our highly-successful CFA study planner, bringing the same proven principles to help you ace your CFP exams.


What makes the best CFP study planner?

What is the Ideal Study Planner? Showing the 300Hours Study Planner dashboard

I have discussed this framework more informally in this article about balancing exam studies and work, but I hope this guide will give you a concrete method to come up with a tailor-made plan.  

Our CFP study planner optimizes your approach with two guiding principles:

  • Low input needed: We want you to focus on studying, not play around with study data and get lost in metrics. This means our study planner is ready to use right out of the box. Input as much or as little as you want – it will make the most of the study data you give it.
  • Focus on passing: This study planner is engineered to maximize your chances of exam success. It strategically guides your focus to high-value topics, motivates consistent effort, and provides realistic performance predictions, ensuring you’re fully prepared to pass.

Minimal work needed, maximize pass chances. Nothing else matters.

Stay on track for your CFP exam with our planner. Exam weighting is baked into every assessment, so you know where to focus. The dashboard displays your progress percentage, making it super-easy to track if you’re ahead or behind, allowing for immediate adjustments.

Helps you stay disciplined

Marking your completed reviews and mock exams as ‘done’ in the planner isn’t just a task – it’s a powerful motivator. Witnessing your progress visually fuels your sense of achievement and reinforces a disciplined study routine, keeping you on track for CFP exam success.

We predict…you’ll pass your CFP exams.

Combining past candidate performance data and your study data, the planner can also give you a prediction of your CFP exam performance.

Of course, this is just a prediction, and not a guarantee!

Auto-benchmarked against past candidates

Your planner automatically benchmarks your mock exam scores against real results from past candidates, providing an exceptionally reliable measure of your progress.

See if you’re on track to pass or need to intensify your efforts, and receive clear feedback to guide your preparation.
