But before we made it happen, we spent 10 years teaching people finance and observing how they learn. When starting our professional activity in education, we were naive enough to believe that our students are all finance freaks who would just study and never stop until they pass their exams. But soon we found out that’s not how it works.
There were all sorts of students: with the overconfident and ignorant at one end of the spectrum and the anxious or unsure of their abilities on the other. But what was common about them all was that these were not abilities they lacked. Their success always depended on their attitude.
That’s when we realized the saddest things of all:
the whole CFA exam learning business focuses
on hard skills development only.
They teach you how to calculate the IRR. They tell you how to manage a portfolio. But they never explain how to cope with your exam preparation as a whole.
We set about to change that.
As we watched our students, it was becoming a sure thing to us that the holistic approach is needed here. Too many smart students failed ‘cos they didn’t know how to cope their preparation process, not study content. It is clear to us that they would have succeeded if their CFA exam prep hadn’t been uncontrolled, unexecuted, and unproductive.
This is why we devised this exceptional growth attitude to CFA exam prep with CFA exam study planner at its core.
Based on 3 pillars of control, motivation, and knowledge retention, it helps you:
manage your CFA exam prep,
execute your CFA exam study plan,
truly learn while you study.
We have no doubts this is the right way for your CFA exam prep to be successful!
Yet, what CFA exam candidates seem to care about most is still just some study materials and sometimes a study plan. So, that’s what they get... To be frank, we’ve been there too. Just offered some study materials and a simple study plan app. But we figured topic deadlines are not enough. Nor are videos and tests.
As we gained experience in the field of exam preparation, we could no longer pretend we knew nothing about candidates’ pains. While we do.
We know it’s hard to control your exam prep with all the work, family, and activities you have. We know your motivation is the worst in the middle of your prep when most of studying should happen. We know you study but then remember next to nothing.
But thanks to the growth approach for CFA exam, you can have a successful exam prep. All it takes is weekly control, maintained motivation, and regular review. All the tools are there for you inside your study plan. We did the best we could to give you all this (and are still developing our approach and this portal). Now, it’s up to you to decide how much of it you’d like and need for yourself.
You can have a CFA exam prep that is not a mess
and a study plan that finally WORKS (and works great)!
