Has anyone taken the full mock on freefellow yet? I just took it this morning and did well, but curious what others thought. It felt fairly easy, with a few questions on topics I’d never seen before. Taking this with a grain of salt.
Getting this error on all my devices, browsers, and switching between networks. Anyone else?
Just curious if you found the official exam significantly more difficult or only slightly more difficult than the practice exam. I purchased the 2nd practice exam which I’ll take when I’m closer to the test date. I’m using Danko and I sit for the exam 11/4. Thank you!
hey everyone! sitting for the exam soon and I took the second mock exam and felt fairly confident while I was taking it but I definitely missed question/got tripped up on details and picked the wrong answer.
Anyone have advice on how to better understand retirement, estate, and insurance? I have been using a mix of Dalton, FreeFellow, and AdviseWise but I feel like I should be scoring so much better than where I am now.
Anyone also have advice for being able to tackle the CFP questions themselves? The wording of the Mock felt harder in some aspects/were trying to trick the tester, especially in the second half of the exam.
I am a Finance Graduate w/ a Financial Planning Concentration from SNHU and want to prepare for the March Exam. I have the educational requierments but do not feel confident with getting my degree. I want to do exam prep to hopefully pass in March. I have done an Externship w/ Alplified Planning but other then that I have no experiance. I am currently a CDL Driver. It is hard to land a job at the moment with my experiance.
To make it short, what is reccomended for exam prep? I believe this may help open up doors or allow me to volenteer at my church. Do I have a chance not working in the Finance field? As i see people spend years in a career before taking the CFP? Any advise would be great.
I just signed up for this platform, and I really like the format. It seems like a great way to drill down and identify your specific strengths and weaknesses.
I was feeling pretty good this morning after hitting the low 70s on a couple of Zahn post-study quizzes. The general rule of thumb I've been following is that if you can clear 70% on those, you should be in decent shape.
However, I started hammering away at some FreeFellow questions this evening, and my readiness score is a 6. The question style here is also completely different from what I've been used to so far.
For example, the volume of CAPM, Sharpe, and Traynor ratio questions feels totally off the charts compared to my other study materials. On top of that, the questions seem polarized—they're either intensive mini-cases or painfully basic week-one review questions, with not much in between.
What makes this exam so difficult is the unknowns on how to prepare.
Do you just stick with Zahn and trust them as they seem to know more about what’s on the test and have a more established track record?
Focus more on Freefellow questions because I’m underperforming there or will I end up learning a bunch of crap that isn’t on the test. Where are these questions from?
Really appreciate any thoughts and insights.
Good luck with the studies everyone.
Been doing well across the BFI Premium review I have been tackling, there are still roughly 30 topics across the next two weeks that has not yet been covered as I am following their pacing schedule.
Hello everybody!
I just signed up with danko for the CFP education to sit in July of 27.
Haven’t taken any exams since my sie/7/66 about two years ago. When it comes to note taking, I over do it. It’s just a mental thing where I think it helps me retain. So I know I’m writing way more than needed but it makes me feel like it helps. When it comes to the CFP I know that I will be not be able to do that with how much information there as and at the pace I’ll be going at.
What were some note taking strategies any of you had or use? It’s something I’m nervous about going into studying - but need to make sure I’m being efficient with how much material there is and how much time it takes to write down everything. I always think I’m writing down what’s important and then I realize I’m rewriting the whole damn book lol.
