The secret to passing a CFA exam is to, well, be good at taking the CFA exam, regardless of whether you've taken every finance course offered or you're brand-new to the field.

You can study more effectively and efficiently with careful planning and assistance. Here are 5 suggestions to increase your chances of passing the exam.

• Prioritize the resources or study materials you can trust the most.

• Avoid wasting time.

• Six months before the exam, create a study plan.

• Enrol in a CFA training institute

• Take breaks between studying

Also, making a summary of the CFA training study material is always beneficial and is most effective in the last days of preparation. Try to summarise all of your readings; this will aid in making quick modifications.
