How prepared are you for the CFP® exam? This 100-question Pre-Study Assessment at the beginning of your study plan helps you gauge your overall readiness. It identifies your strong areas and those you find challenging, enabling you to focus accordingly right from the start
For topics that require a deeper review for you to master, our videos will help you get there. Choose the videos you need to be fully prepared on exam day.
Videos include our popular High 5 series, one of our students' favorite review tools! Expert instructors focus specifically on highly testable content that you should pay extra attention to and ways to approach it on the exam.
As part of each review topic, you'll have a "Summary of Commonly Tested Topics” PDF in your online materials and study tools. This information will help you focus on the most highly testable and challenging topics to understand.
Our financial planning case studies are detailed scenarios designed to help students apply their knowledge of financial planning in practical situations. Case studies typically delve into various aspects of financial planning, including investments, retirement planning, tax planning, estate planning, insurance, and risk management. By working through these case studies, students learn to integrate and synthesize information from different topic areas, and practice making recommendations for clients based on their unique financial situations. This holistic hands-on approach is crucial for grasping the complexities of financial planning.
Case studies are excellent preparation for the CFP Board exam (as they mirror the type of questions students will face throughout the exam) as well as for the real work of advising clients. By working through practical scenarios, students develop the skills and confidence needed to provide effective financial advice in their professional careers.
Throughout your review, a robust QBank of approximately 2,500 exam-like questions tests your knowledge and ability to apply it to real-world scenarios. To further focus your practice efforts, you can filter the QBank by subject area or create custom quizzes.
A full online Mock Exam simulates the 6-hour exam day to give you an experience similar to taking the actual national CFP® exam. Each session of the Mock Exam includes questions in a format similar to the actual exam, including stand-alone questions and sets of questions with associated short scenarios and longer case studies. Before you attempt the Mock Exam, you'll have access to an instructional video that gives you tips on how to approach the exam.
After completing the Mock Exam, you'll see question rationales to help you gain a stronger understanding of topics.
