      Feel free to compare the cost to an MBA here: ua-cam.com/video/YDY7Bb0PppY/v-deo.html It is imperative that the CFA Instutite maintains the integrity of the pass/fail standards, ensuring that they remain uncompromised and not influenced by associated costs. This approach is crucial for upholding the quality and reliability of their assessments or products/services.

    • @cfatipsandtricks
      @cfatipsandtricks Рік тому

      That's an extremely tight schedule. You have 40 days left which means you'd have to spend 7.5 hours studying every day, without any breaks to get to the recommended 300 hours. It's not impossible, but I'd say it's challenging. You may want to think about postponing it for the February 2024 test date instead.

    The CFA provides deeper Finance knowledge, especially for investment professionals. It’s much more difficult and is all self-study, which can be challenging. An MBA provides broader business knowledge and better networking opportunities, especially at top schools. The downside is that it can be much more expensive in the short term. They are different and complementary programs. Both provide great value depending on your specific goals!

Got cpa because my boss asked me to and now is incredibly valuable as I start my own financial coaching and planning business. The takeaway is, it doesn’t hurt to try and you’ll find what fits your specific situation in the end😊

Right now I am working as a freelancer in performance marketing but I am so interested in the finance field, that I want to do the CFA besides my current role. In addition to that, I would love to gain more practical experience.

    Hi i'm from India. I think it'd be nice if a person could register for the CFA right after High School It's highly restrictive to make a person wait to complete their bachelors degree Why should i have to wait till my final year of bachelors programme to Register It's understandable that the colleges and universities would have lobbied with the Governments and the CFA Institute to not give the charter before someone completes their bachelors programme. But not even letting people register right after high school is nonsensical. Why can't i as a 1st Year Uni student in India register and start taking my CFA Level 1. If you work on the Advisory Committee of the institute, you should provide these suggestions to the Board. Also the fees of around $1000 is too high. It shouldn't be more than $150 per exam for developing countries like India Our Nation's Per Capita income is $2100, so very few can actually pay $1000 for the exam. Miss You talk about equal opportunity, but the CFA institute does not believe in that unfortunately. Please Make it equitable and allow students to take the exam right after high school

    • @footyshorts6323
      @footyshorts6323 2 роки тому

      But what i feel is that if you guys allow taking the CFA at University level then much fewer people will go for an MBA or a Masters in Finance. The World is Extremely Greedy, and universities, business schools want to extort 100's of thousands of dollars from students ..

    3:48 if you jump around between a/b/c or just let a monkey decide the answer to each question... you still have a 33% chance of hitting the right one, every single time and on average, its called statistics. In other words, if i just answer the whole exam randomly 1000 times, on average I would hit 33% of the answers.

    How I cannot pass level 3 for four times ? (I also got level 1 and 2 on first attempt, but every exam results goes wrong on the highest 3 level exam ) I study harder than most students and many so called correct answers are incorrect, just as GMAT how can you get wrong on every 30%-40% questions in exactly same way. I just attended CFA level 3 forth time again in December. One question on number of future contracts is overly easy with many variables are exactly “1”. I feel My performance is top level on the second attempt, however the level 3 exam results are always wrong for me. Just as GMAT exam results are always unbelievable. I am not guilty of anything, I feel there are invisible hands manipulating everything. It seems the world should hurt me reject me in endless way, I suffered too much in what human believed fair world. I am not guilty for such endless harming, but how should I change my subject again and again for such old age. When I as civilians who has nothing, I believed the world will allow the most diligent learner win upper level position through exams, until I got lower and lower score on GMAT exam and CFA level for over ridiculous 10 times, until I found many correct answers are in correct and many questions are not try to test on hardest part but to play tricks. Who can see whose level is higher ? Who are unreasonably always under qualified or who are collaborating cheaters ?
