New 2014 Chartered Financial Analyst Exam Q&A Workbooks from TotalRecall Help Candidates Train for Wall Street’s Toughest Exam with 1,000 Practice Questions, Mock Exams
Friendswood, TX (PRWEB) January 31, 2014 -- TotalRecall Publications, Inc. announced today publication of new 2014 editions of its Q&A workbooks for Level I of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Exam. Written by 20-year CFA charter holder and exam instructor Jane Vessey, ‘ExamWise 2014 CFA Level I, Volumes 1 and 2’ include 1,000 CFA-style practice questions in a flash card format. The accompanying downloadable test engine creates unlimited practice exams to identify pre- and post-study strengths and weaknesses. The test engine also generates timed mock exams that simulate sitting for the real exam under pressure.
Passing the grueling CFA Level I Exam on the first attempt is notoriously difficult. LinkedIn CFA candidate discussion groups teem with apprehensive queries about how many attempts to make before giving up. The test requires mastering six volumes of CFA curriculum materials and drilling relentlessly with thousands of practice exam questions. Even after investing an average of 300 study hours, only 38% of 2013 candidates could celebrate a triumph.
The Volume 1 workbook contains 450 unique CFA-style questions and Volume 2 includes another 500. Questions cover all the key learning outcome statements (LOS) in the CFA Program Curriculum. The accompanying test engine download combines questions asking for calculations, definitions, interpretation and comparison of concepts so candidates can feel confident that they're well prepared to sit the actual exam. The answer to each question gives a brief explanation about why the answer is correct, plus references to it in the LOS Assigned Readings and CFA Curriculum.
All questions were developed by Jane Vessey, a CFA charter holder with 20 years in international investment management and 10 years as a professional financial trainer and CFA exam instructor. Vessey knows the exam areas candidates will probably find most difficult and has created questions that will test their knowledge and identify areas of weakness for additional study.
The ExamWise workbooks can be purchased together or separately through book retailers and wholesalers worldwide.
