More tips to add to the list!

• Mindset – 70% is a fine score

• 100% is not the goal – passing is the goal

• Organize your study well in advance of the examination. Divide the material into manageable units (for example, by Study Session) and then allocate a certain number of hours per day or week to studying. Then stick with it! A common study plan is to complete one study session per week.

• Read the 2010 CFA Level I (or II or III) Study Guide, which has a wealth of information and will help you organize your study plans. For Level I candidates, this information also appears in the front of Volume I of the custom curriculum.

• Save the candidate web site and refer to it often. This site will link you to several frequently used candidate services.

• Purchase your curriculum early.

• If you have not yet purchased the calculator you will use for the examination (www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprogram/calculatorpolicy.html), it is strongly encouraged to do so. Learn your calculator completely. Valuable time will be wasted if you have to refer to the keystroke instructions during the examination.

• Experts agree that more learning takes place when study is spread out over several sessions. In other words, people generally learn more from six two-hour sessions than from one 12- hour session. Structure your study program so that your time is used effectively.

• When developing your schedule, make sure to leave time for relaxation so that you don’t get overwhelmed.
