Exam Sim Details
Exam Sim allows you to take the computer-based mock exam in the interface used on exam day.
Time Limits
Exam sim uses the same time limits and built-in breaks that CFA Institute uses on the exam; however, you do not need to follow these constraints. These serve as a guideline to you in order to replicate the exam as closely as possible. When the timer hits zero, you can continue completing the mock exam without a time constraint.
Answering Functionality
Answer, skip, flag, and filter questions exactly like the actual exam. This type of practice helps improve efficiency in completing the exam under the time constraints set on exam day. You must answer all questions on the mock exam in order to complete each section. Once you complete both sections of the mock exam, view the detailed results report using our Exam Tutorial.
Watch the video below for a detailed demonstration of the new Exam Sim functionality.

- Portfolio Management: This traditional CFA Program pathway focuses on constructing, managing, optimizing, and measuring portfolios of public market equity, fixed income, and derivative securities.
- Private Markets: This pathway addresses private markets investing primarily from the perspective of the general partner (GP). It builds on key valuation and other competencies in the CFA Program from all four asset class domains.
- Private Wealth: This pathway offers a global perspective on and universal principles for serving high-net-worth clients (worth US$5M+). It is structured as an arc from a young adult being onboarded to generating wealth through wealth transfer.
