2018年6月CFA二級考試報名第一階段截止到9月20號,希望有想要報考的考生要抓緊報名了,畢竟錯過第一階段要多花費一些金錢。可能是因為CFA二級考試難度很大,所以很多人對于CFA二級考試關(guān)注度很高。部分通過CFA一級的考生對于CFA二級考試相關(guān)內(nèi)容了解不多,尤其是關(guān)于CFA二級考試費用一級難度。

  那么對于CFA二級考試有什么好的學習方法呢?一起去看看
  適當選用參考材料
  CFA二級考綱指定了12本參考書,閱讀量非常大,因此,考生常有這樣的疑問:這些參考書要不要通讀?還是只需讀專業(yè)機構(gòu)出版的輔導(dǎo)講義(Study Notes)?一般來說,應(yīng)以參考書為本,以Study Notes為綱,即簡單的內(nèi)容直接看Notes,重點和難點的內(nèi)容則應(yīng)讀原版的參考書,此外,還要根據(jù)自己的復(fù)習進度選擇一些習題集。
  安排有效訓(xùn)練
  答題速度仍然是通過CFA二級考試的關(guān)鍵,因此,考生在復(fù)習中,不僅要掌握知識原理,還要進行適當和有效的題目訓(xùn)練。訓(xùn)練的目的除了鞏固學習成果,還要提高做題速度。在最后的沖刺階段,一定要進行一到兩次的???,以便找到薄弱環(huán)節(jié),及時彌補不足。
  抓住關(guān)鍵知識點
  CFA一級考試重點是金融基本概念和公式,而二級考試重點是資產(chǎn)定價理論的運用和高級會計理論,考生在備考中要注意關(guān)鍵知識點的變化。此外,二級考試對會計科目的要求進一步提高,在一級基礎(chǔ)會計的基礎(chǔ)上,新增了公司并購會計、投資會計、外幣會計和養(yǎng)老金會計等專題,還要求考生能辨識財務(wù)報表中的“會計騙術(shù)”。
