CFA Society of Istanbul efforts to support CFA candidates by coaching their self-studies and allowing them to use society’s library. Our society is planning to open education programs for CFA Program.

The curriculum, designed by a committee of practicing CFA charterholders in conjunction with CFA Institute staff, is the main source of study to get prepared for each level of the exam program.

CFA Institute believes that candidates need to commit to a minimum of 250 hours reading and reviewing the curriculum and taking online sample and mock exams to master the material (learn more about scheduling your time). This recommendation, however, may substantially underestimate the hours needed for appropriate exam preparation depending on individual circumstances and academic background.

In cooperation with Schweser, we are proud to announce that a Live Mock Exam will be available in Istanbul on May 22, 2010 Saturday.

This proctored 6-hour classroom exam is consistent with the actual CFA® Exam topic weightings and follows the CFA Institute exam rules. After taking the Schweser Mock Exam you will receive a key for self-grading. You will also receive online access to SchweserMock.com with:

• Your Exam score and complete answer explanations

• Your score relative to other candidates

• Learning Outcome Statement page references for the CFA Institute texts and SchweserNotes™

The mock exam will be given at all three levels at the same classroom of Koc University Istinye Kampus between 9 am - 4 pm, with one hour of break between the two sessions.

You can register online at https://www.schweser.com/cfa/ by first selecting your Level and then following the links for "Live Mock Exam" on the menu top to the right.

The reduced fee of $19, will cover the costs of the venue. As we would like to see pass rates increase for the Candidates in the hinterland of our Society, we strongly suggest you to take this opportunity of experiencing the very similar atmosphere of the actual CFA Exam at this value price.

Please also see the brochure for this Mock Exam as well as for other Schweser study tools and packages, which are at a 15% discount with the code of IstanbulCFA.
