The CFA exam comprises different levels, each sharing a similar overall structure but featuring a distinct combination of question types. These include standard multiple-choice questions (MCQs), vignette-style MCQs, and constructed response (essay) questions. Understanding the format and question types specific to your exam level is vital for your final preparation. That's why our practice exams closely mirror each level of the actual exam, helping you become familiar with the format and question types you'll encounter.

CFA Candidate Success Stories

Frequently Asked Questions

The number of CFA mock exams candidates typically take can vary depending on individual preferences and study strategies. However, it is generally recommended for candidates to take multiple mock exams as part of their preparation for the CFA exam. Taking multiple mock exams helps candidates assess their understanding of the material, identify areas that require further study, and familiarize themselves with the exam format and time management.
UWorld’s CFA mock exams are specifically designed to simulate the format, time constraints, and question types found in the actual CFA exams. They provide candidates with an opportunity to practice under exam-like conditions and assess their readiness for the real exam. The questions featured in UWorld’s mock exams are distinct and do not overlap with the questions found in their question banks (QBanks).
UWorld CFA mock exams contain the same problem types as the real exams and are based on the CFAI’s most recent learning outcome statements. Their difficulty is designed to be at or above the CFA exam’s difficulty level to prepare candidates for success.
UWorld CFA mock exam questions are prepared by our in-house team of CFA charterholders and respected finance educators. UWorld is also a CFAI approved prep provider, meaning each mock exam is updated to reflect the current CFA curriculum.
As an approved prep provider by the CFAI, we adhere to their policy of not sharing or using previous CFA exam questions. Therefore, our QBank and mock exam questions are not sourced from past exams. However, we ensure that our questions are specifically tailored to match the format of the exam you are preparing for and align with the CFAI’s learning outcome statements.

The difficulty level of CFA Level 2 mock exams compared to Level 1 mock exams can vary depending on individual perspectives and experiences. However, it is generally recognized that the CFA Level 2 exam is considered more challenging than Level 1.

The CFA Level 2 exam builds upon the foundational knowledge tested in Level 1 and delves deeper into more complex concepts and applications. The Level 2 exam focuses on asset valuation, including equity, fixed income, derivatives, and alternative investments, and requires candidates to demonstrate a higher level of analytical and critical thinking skills.
UWorld CFA mock exams are most impactful when taken after completing our QBank and within one to two months of your scheduled exam. By following this timeline, you will also have ample time to finish the CFAI’s mock exams. We strongly advise candidates to aim for a minimum of four mock exams as part of their preparation for the actual exam.
This illustrates a plan recommended by UWorld for how to best leverage the 4-6 months you have to study prior to your exam.
