CFA EXAM DATES EXPLAINED

1. AUG 2025 LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM WINDOW is from 15 to 19 Aug 2025.

The days when you can take your level 3 AUG 2025 CFA exam span from 15 to 19 Aug.

However, mind that the exact length of the AUG window depends on the test center you choose and the geographic region you live in. Actually, it may be shorter than 15 - 19 Aug, so read your test center info carefully when registering for and scheduling your CFA exam.



2. AUG 2025 CFA EXAM REGISTRATION STARTS on 6 Nov 2024.

The registration window for the AUG 2025 level 3 exam opens on 6 Nov 2024. First, you need to register for your AUG exam, which means you need to pay the due fees.

AUG 2025 CFA exam registration fees go up. The early-bird registration fee is USD 1090 (up from USD 940) and the standard registration fee is USD 1390 (up from USD 1250).



2025 CFA EXAM REGISTRATION FEES
The AUG 2025 CFA exam fees paid at registration are
USD 1090 or USD 1390, depending on when you register.



After you register, you're bound to self-schedule your exam within the exam window available in your area. The scheduling deadline is not until 13 May.



3. AUG 2025 CFA EXAM EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE is on 29 Jan 2025.

There's a special registration fee for early birds and it's $1090 (it increases for 2025 lvl 3 CFA exams!). It applies from 6 Nov 2024 to 29 Jan 2025.

Please note the special Pay-by-Invoice deadline that falls on 27 March for the AUG exam. It was set up for computer-based CFA exams and is now longer than the early registration fee deadline.



4. AUG 2025 CFA EXAM REGISTRATION DEADLINE is on 6 May 2025.

The standard registration fee for lvl 3 2025 CFA exams is $1390 (which is higher than in 2024!). It applies from 30 Jan to 6 May 2025.

Remember that it is not enough just to register for your CBT CFA exam. Registration comes hand in hand with scheduling.



5. AUG 2025 CFA EXAM SCHEDULING DEADLINE is on 13 May 2025.

After you register, you're bound to self-schedule your exam within the exam window available for the AUG exam in your area. To this end, you'll need to use the so-called ProScheduler via a dedicated platform.

Importantly, scheduling is free of charge and the scheduling period is longer than the registration period. For the AUG exam, it ends on 13 May. If you fail to schedule your exam appointment, you won’t be able to take your CFA exam and you'll forfeit your registration fees.



6. AUG 2025 CFA EXAM RESCHEDULING DEADLINE is on 14 July 2025.

A rescheduling fee is a new CFA exam fee that was introduced for computer-based exams back in 2021. CFA exam rescheduling means that you can still change your CFA exam date and/or test center after you register for and schedule your AUG exam. You may change the date and/or test center as many times as you want but every change is going to cost you money.



2025 CFA EXAM RESCHEDULING FEE
For the 2025 CFA exams, the optional CFA exam rescheduling fee is USD 250 per each re-appointment.



How does CFA exam rescheduling work?

It may happen that the optimal-for-you exam date and/or test center is already taken at the time when you schedule your exam. But you will judge it reasonable to schedule your exam anyway. After that, you can go back and check your preferred test center for seating availability at your optimal exam date. As soon as it's available to you, you'll be able to make amendments upon paying your rescheduling fee.



7. AUG 2025 CFA EXAM RESULTS DATE is most likely 7 Oct 2025.

CFA Institute intends to release level 3 CFA exam results in 6-8 weeks after the close of the exam window. So, the most probable CFA exam results date for the AUG 2025 level 3 candidates is 7 Oct 2025. As always, the Minimum Passing Score (MPS) will be established after the exam by the Board of Governors.

AFTER YOU PASS YOUR
AUG EXAM

If you pass your level 3 exam in Aug 2025, your CFA exams are over! That's it for you – now you can become a CFA charterholder and member.

If, however, you fail your level 3 CFA exam, mind the rule of 6-months-between-exams according to which:

• if you fail your Aug 2025 exam the soonest you can retake your level 3 exam is in Feb 2026.
• (read more about the 2025 CFA exams)

To pass your level 3 CFA exam, there are some things you need to know. For starters, the exam will be divided into 2 sessions, 132 minutes each, with an optional break meanwhile.

In your level 3 CFA exam, you may expect some item sets and some constructed response (essay) questions. Previously, essay questions used to be included in the first session of the level 3 CFA exam, while item sets comprised the second session of the exam. Starting in 2023, each exam session contains a mix of essay sets and item sets. There are 11 essay sets and 11 item sets altogether. So, in each session, you can expect either 6 item sets and 5 essay sets or 5 item sets and 6 essay sets. Read more about the new CBT level 3 CFA exam format.
