Effective CFA® Exam Note-Taking with UWorld
Taking notes as you read UWorld CFA practice-problem explanations will help reinforce essential exam concepts and organize content for later review. Below are our suggestions for utilizing My Notebook and enhancing your study process.It can be tempting to copy and paste large amounts of QBank content into My Notebook. Instead, treat it as a starting point. Much of the benefit of note-taking comes from writing the material down in your own words and annotating it. This forces you to reconsider the topics being discussed. Focus on ideas you struggle with while remaining brief with those you already know well. Remember, you will be studying from these notes later.
Visual learning is shown to improve information retention and recall. This is why our CFA QBanks are full of professionally-produced illustrations that depict complex exam topics. We strongly encourage you to include graphics and charts in your digital notebook with short, clarifying text.
Like any word processor, My Notebook allows users to bold, italicize, underline, and highlight text, as well as generate tables, create bullet points, and more. You benefit in two ways when you take the time to edit your notes. First, you are required to reread the content as you modify it. Second, you will be able to study more effectively when the material is formatted and highlighted properly.
To maximize the usefulness of your CFA notes, you need to be able to access them quickly. As you practice from our QBank and create new notes, rearrange and retitle entries as required. This will keep related content together. For unique searches, each note can house six custom “tags”.

Great for revision, no need; no wasted time going through 3rd party notes. If you get an answer wrong, everything is explained right there for you. This approach is ONLY possible because UWorld's QBank offers thousands of high-quality questions and explanations."
— Mane
The sheer number of questions available on the QBank is remarkable. My strategy for the CFA is to work through many problems first, review and take notes, then, after consolidating takeaways, begin a more thorough reading of the material. Overall a really great product."
— Florencia
The answer explanations provided here are by far the best I've seen. The feature of adding flashcards and notes is also great. Questions are really great with very nuanced answer explanations. Last but not least, the feature to change the background color is also a great add-on."
