Aakanksha • CFA • Exam Overview |
The challenge of taking up two finance qualifications seemed impossible to me, at that time, with 5 levels of exams, each demanding an average of 300 hours of study time. Having completed this feat in just under 3 years, I’m glad to report that it is possible, with just a little bit of planning. |

It used to be solid advice for candidates to aim for a 70% score in your mocks. With the latest MPS estimates, we no longer think this is the case. The recent 2021 MPS shows that 75% and above would be a much safer bet. |
