Exam Passing Strategy (PALS)

PALS stands for Proactive Assessment Learning System. PALS is a uniquely designed concept of testing the students during as well as after the class. Proactive assessment has the advantage of developing problem solving skill in the simulated CFA examination environment. It helps to reduce anxiety and develops the confidence in the candidate to face the final examination in a much more prepared way.

PALS also helps in creating a strong foundation about the concepts as more and more problem solving involuntarily helps clarifying concepts and helps in memorizing concepts for longer duration.

Under PALS we suggest to follow the below mentioned guidelines to pass CFA Exam in the first attempt

The CFA Institute recommends 250 hours of preparation – In our view you would need around 300 -350 hours for preparation
10 – 12 hours of study per week is the minimum requirement
Identification of strength and weak area topics by weight
Master the area that caries higher weight and excel in easy topics
Focus on what the instructor is stressing, read the concepts
Get your doubts cleared in class – no question is silly; ask questions any number of times
Work as a team to understand the difficult and tricky areas
Understand clearly the concepts and their application to problem solving
Without solving questions, it is very difficult to pass CFA
Take three offline tests to ensure that you are geared for the grueling six hours
Take the CFA mock exam paper
