大学生能不能提前一年学习CFA考试知识点?

在后台看到同学都在问,大学期间CFA考试只能在大四考,大四的时候想要考研,没有时间复习CFA知识点,那我可不可以提早一年学习CFA考试知识点,在大四的时候专心备考考研,到该考CFA一级考试的时候稍微复习一下可以吗?

我这样告诉你吧!这样的考试方式实不可取的,CFA考试每年的考纲都会有一定的变化,如果你考试当年不学习,直接考是不可以的。即便你稍微复习一下也是不行的,我们可以看看每年的CFA一级的*率,不到百分之五十,那些还是全心全意参加备考的人的通过率,你还想通过考试和考研,这有点不现实!

如果你是想好好的通过这两项考试的话,你可以先把你的CFA考试知识点弄的*懂,在考试当年再看看CFA考刚变化的部分,将知识点全部在梳理一遍,可能就会好一点!有2020考CFA考试的考生赶紧看看2020年的考纲变化!
