Each level of the CFA exam has a similar overall structure but consists of a unique mix of question types. Among them include standard multiple-choice questions (MCQs), vignette-style MCQs, and constructed response (essay) questions. Getting familiar with your exam's format and question types is a crucial step in your final preparation, which is why our mocks closely resemble each exam level.

CFA Candidate Success Stories

quotes

I was a little worried about the difficulty of the exams, but after attempting the mocks on UWorld, which are very difficult, I gained confidence and worked through the loopholes in my knowledge. Great! The explanations are very friendly, and the tools available are useful and time-saving."

— Ponnada
quotes

The explanations on answers are incredibly detailed, unlike the official curriculum. I am currently using two other providers besides this one. I can say the questions on the mock exam and practice questions have the highest quality. UWorld will be a central part of my study process in the future."

— Greg

The practice questions test your limit. The rigor and attention to detail are top-notch. The explanations are comprehensive and I feel more confident with every question that I tackle. Best practice mocks one could ask for that hit all parts of the exam yet have appropriate difficulty!"

Frequently Asked Questions

The number of cfa mock exams to take depends on when you start your preparation. Successful CFA candidates usually take between 4 and 6 mock exams per level. We encourage candidates to take the CFA Institute’s mock exams and UWorld’s CFA mock exams. This best prepares candidates for the exam format and length and allows them to discover areas of weakness.
UWorld CFA mock exams offer a simulation of the real Prometric interface. From the screen layout and color scheme to the questions’ style, UWorld CFA mock exams are among the most realistic on the market. They’re developed by our in-house team of CFA charterholders and respected finance educators to put candidates in the best possible position to succeed.
UWorld CFA mock exams contain the same problem types as the real exams and are based on the CFA Institute’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. We’re also a CFA Institute-approved prep provider, meaning each mock exam is updated to match the current CFA curriculum.

The CFA Institute provides candidates with 1-3 mock exams per level. This is below the number of mock exams our research suggests are optimal for success. We strongly encourage candidates to leverage all of the UWorld’s CFA mock exams and CFA Institute’s mock exams. Doing so will greatly reduce surprises on exam day, reveal final topics to focus on, and maximize your odds of passing on your first try.
The CFA Institute does not allow past exam questions to go public. As a CFA Institute-approved prep provider, we cannot use or reference prior-year CFA exam questions. However, all our QBank and mock exam questions are designed to fit the format of the exam you’re studying for and meet the CFA Institute’s learning outcome statements.
The CFA Level 2 exam is generally more difficult than the Level 1 one. This stems from the fact that Level 2 requires greater comprehension of the topics in Level 1. The format of the exam is also different. All UWorld CFA mock exams reflect the format and structure of the exam candidates are preparing for.
UWorld CFA mock exams are most effective after completing our QBank and within one to two months of your actual exam date. After taking our mocks, this planning will also provide enough time to complete the CFA Institute’s mock exams. We recommend that most candidates meet at least four mock exams to prepare for the actual exam.
