What can Las Vegas CFA prep cover?

Each level of the CFA covers similar topics. Some of these include quantitative methods, equity investments, and fixed income. While the topics are similar, the types of questions vary depending on the level. Level 1 exams only have multiple choice question, Level 2 exams contain both multiple choice and vignette questions, and Level 3 exams feature vignette and essay questions.

While reviewing content is a major part of preparing for a standardized test, it is not the only part. Developing test-taking strategies can be quite beneficial. For multiple choice questions, it can be useful to be able to eliminate answers based on context. There will likely be questions you don't know the answers to. When this happens, rather than just picking a random letter, CFA prep can teach you how to look for clues in the questions and passages so that you can make educated guesses. For essays, it can be advantageous to practice writing outlines. This can save you time on the exam because you will already have a plan for how to write your essay.

What are the advantages of the two types of Las Vegas CFA prep?

There are two different types of CFA prep: a Las Vegas CFA prep course and private instruction. Many students only choose one of these options, but there are students who choose both. No matter which option you choose, you can receive expert instruction.

If you prefer studying in a traditional classroom setting, you may want to enroll in a Las Vegas CFA prep class. You can learn or review concepts with an expert instructor while also engaging in group discussions and activities with your classmates. Class discussions and activities can be valuable because you can discuss test strategies while also reviewing content. Your classmates may have different experiences than you, which means they may also have alternate perspectives on investing. If there are concepts you are unsure about, you can meet up with your instructor outside of class to ask questions.

If you wish to study in a more personalized environment, you may prefer connecting with a Las Vegas CFA tutor. Your instructor can tailor the way they present concepts to fit your learning style. For example, if you are a physical learner, you can participate in activities that get you up and moving. You also have more control over the topics you prioritize with private instruction because you're the only student. If you are having trouble understanding equity investments, you can focus most of your time studying that, while spending less time going over topics you're already comfortable with.
