1, retelling memory method
When CFA prepares for the exam, after reviewing a chapter, you can spend some time retelling the content of this chapter, not necessarily repeating it in your own words exactly according to the text of the textbook. Many office workers have little and scattered study time, so they usually use some scattered time to retell the knowledge points, which can not only examine the memory situation, but also help the brain deepen the memory.
2. Associative memory method
Some contents in CFA exam are very difficult to remember, such as some irregular numbers or formulas in financial statement analysis, which are difficult to remember, easy to be confused and easy to make mistakes. Associative memory method can improve this situation very well. When remembering something, use similar sounds, glyphs, etc. Connect the key content with some familiar content, which is easy to remember. For example, 5 1% can be associated with Mayday. Or imagine some pictures in your mind to help you remember.
3, inductive memory method
According to the candidates' CFA preparation experience over the years, it is helpful to summarize the similarities and differences and summarize the key points with tables. You can also use some charts to summarize the content of knowledge points and clarify the internal logic of the subject, such as mind map and tree induction diagram.

CFA is not good at English. Can you pass the exam?
1, Financial English ≠ General English
Financial English is different from general English. General English teaching requires learning to listen, speak, read and write, while CFA exam only requires you to master the necessary vocabulary and basic theoretical knowledge of financial English. Spend more time to overcome your shortcomings in the subject. For example, financial candidates provide more jobs to learn English teaching language skills, while English candidates spend more time studying China's economic and financial theory.
2. Accumulate core vocabulary
In the process of reviewing, you can record some words, whether they appear in textbooks or test papers, especially some financial words. In fact, they are basically professional words. We can recite it regularly and quantitatively every day. In the long run, we will be able to catch all these words.
3. Improve English reading ability
Doing some social problems in CFA exam is so boring and lengthy that we need students to spend time reading, understanding and answering. I suggest that candidates should read more English materials when preparing for CFA exam to improve their English reading ability.
CFA exam subjects preparation order
For CFA students, you can get an introduction about ethics from Ethics and Professional Standards. Most candidates in China are very unfamiliar with this subject and need a familiar process. Listen to the video lesson first, and try to understand that the memory work can be postponed until one month before the exam (it is easy to forget if you remember it too early).
If there is no financial foundation or the foundation is weak, it is suggested to invest more time in studying finance first, because the financial examination has the largest proportion, many contents and high requirements, so it is necessary to start studying early. The learning order of other subjects can be determined according to your own situation.
If the background is non-economic and non-financial, it is suggested to study quantitative analysis and economics first, and then learn modules such as fixed income, equity investment, derivatives, alternative investment, portfolio management and corporate finance.
Matters needing attention in CFA computer examination
1, pay attention to the epidemic prevention requirements of your examination room.
At present, the domestic epidemic has not been safely eliminated. Therefore, according to the specific requirements of epidemic prevention and control in various places, candidates taking CFA exams in Chinese mainland should bring valid international travel passports and exam confirmation letters:
(1) My resident ID card (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents need to bring Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan passes to and from the mainland, and foreign residents need to provide passports).
(2) Candidates' health commitment letter (please print it yourself in advance, and the relevant commitments and screenshots of health code and travel code must be operated one day before the exam to be effective).
On the day of the exam, candidates can scan the health code and itinerary code and register the relevant epidemic information before entering the venue. During the examination, candidates should strictly abide by the relevant regulations of the local government on epidemic prevention and control, wear masks all the time, and cooperate with the examination management personnel to check their body temperature (below 37.3 degrees) before entering the designated examination area.
Special reminder: the epidemic prevention and control measures of test sites in different places will be different according to local specific conditions, and will be adjusted in time according to changes in the epidemic prevention and control situation. Candidates are requested to make preparations for epidemic prevention and control according to the specific requirements of booking the examination room.
2. Look at the examination room in advance
Candidates had better look at the weather forecast before the exam. If it rains, there may be a traffic jam. Calculate the time and start early. At the same time, candidates need to check the route of the examination room in advance.
3, with a transparent file bag
Transparent file bags can be used to store items (such as passports, ID cards, laboratory sheets, calculators, health commitment letters, etc.). ) directly into the examination room. All packed in transparent bags, easy to find, not easy to lose!
4. Don't amend the ratification.
Candidates can only enter the examination room with a paper-based quasi-examination letter, and may not alter or sketch it. Candidates should pay attention to keeping the quasi-examination letter clean and tidy. Therefore, if you write a letter on the entrance exam, you may be disqualified!
If you have any questions, you must raise your hand in advance.
During the exam, if anything falls on the ground, or you have to go to the toilet, or you have other requirements, you must raise your hand in advance and get the permission of the invigilator, otherwise you will be recorded and your exam results will be cancelled.
There are many points for attention in CFA computer examination. If you plan to take the CFA exam, I suggest you consult the precautions in the CFA computer exam early before the exam, so that you can get familiar with the CFA exam rules in advance and know what you can take on the CFA exam day, thus making your CFA exam more smooth!
