Use flashcards for new concepts
Study with your flashcards frequently
Study on the go
Incorporate flashcards into your study plan
Before jumping into your CFA exam prep, you should create a study plan (e.g., like our Level 1 and Level 2 plans). Set realistic daily, weekly, and monthly goals based on your schedule and needs. Consider what events and activities you have planned, and how long you will be able to dedicate to studying. Make sure to include time for flashcard review in your plan.
Use flashcards for new concepts
Use digital flashcards to review newly learned concepts from our QBank. While spaced repetition is a great guide, you should also monitor which content areas you’re weaker in with our flashcard analytics section. You can then dedicate extra study time to these areas.
Study with your flashcards frequently
We suggest you review the CFA exam material on our CFA app whenever you have extra time. Multiple flashcard review sessions per day will add up over time, even if only for a few minutes. And by spacing out your study sessions, you can remain fresh and attentive.
Study on the go
To reiterate, digital CFA exam flashcards are great for mobile study sessions and when away from home. Flashcards themselves are ideally suited for a mobile format. While you can study anywhere and any time, it’s sometimes nice to lay on the couch and flip through flashcards instead of reviewing topics on your computer.

This is active learning in the truest sense. Nothing comes closer. I feel UWorld is covering almost every LOS. And coupling that with flashcards and spaced repetition, there is absolutely nothing else that would be required for the test day. So glad I discovered U-World."

The answer explanations provided here is by far the best I've seen. The feature of adding flashcards and notes is also great. Questions are excellent, with very nuanced answer explanations. Last but not least, the feature to change the background color is also a great add-on."
