In Partnership with Kaplan Schweser, we offer our candidates two weeks before the CFA Exam the opportunity to sit for Live Mock Exam in Buenos Aires. These exams are full-length—meaning you need to carve out six hours to take them—and are designed to mimic the real exam in terms of topic weights and difficulty. How to incorporate a CFA mock exam into your study schedule The CFA institute recommends you to take a CFA mock exam as your exams come closer.

As part of the CFA Program, you can use the following study materials to help you prepare for the exam:
