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.
The UWorld difference is in our quality of content. Our dedicated team of CFA charterholders and esteemed finance educators diligently strives to create UWorld CFA mock exams that are exceptionally realistic, comprehensive, captivating, and accompanied by detailed rationales. These rationales offer profound analyses of key concepts and provide thorough explanations behind answer choices, empowering candidates to strengthen their comprehension of core curriculum topics and learning outcome statements (LOS).
