Frequently Asked Questions

UWorld CFA is a CFA Institute Approved Prep Provider, meaning our content adheres to the latest LOS. Questions and explanations are written by active CFAs and finance educators to reflect the exam format.
There are three question types across the three CFA exam levels: multiple-choice, vignettes with associated MCQs, and constructed-response questions. Our Qbank questions prepare candidates for the types of questions they’ll see on each exam.
The CFA exam scoring process is not as straightforward as simply receiving a numerical score. After a multi-step process, a minimum passing score (MPS) is determined and applied to all graded exams. In recent years, it’s been estimated that Levels 1 and 2 have had a MPS of close to 70%, while Level 3 has had a MPS of close to 60%.
When preparing for the CFA exam, the quality of the questions you practice is more important than the quantity. This is why all UWorld CFA sample questions are modeled after their associated exams and come with detailed answer explanations. That said, candidates should still expect to go through thousands of questions during their study process to cover all LOS.
While some CFA exam questions may be reused, candidates should not count on this in their study plan. Candidates should note that concepts are the same yearly, barring CFA Institute LOS updates. UWorld CFA content creators pay close attention to these changes and automatically modify our products to ensure candidates learn only what they’re expected to know for their exams. Therefore, it’s essential for candidates to always use the latest version of any study materials corresponding to their exam year.
CFA Level 1 consists of 180 multiple-choice questions split between two 135-minute sessions. UWorld CFA offers candidates thousands of relevant Level 1 questions with detailed answer explanations.
CFA Level 2 consists of 22 vignettes with 88 corresponding multiple-choice questions split between two sessions lasting 2 hours and 12 minutes. UWorld CFA offers candidates hundreds of vignette-style questions with comprehensive explanations.
Overall, the Level III exam contains 11 item sets and 11 essay sets for 12 points each.
Each session will have either 6 item sets and 5 essay sets or 5 item sets and 6 essay sets. This mixed distribution of item types across the two exam sessions creates a more-balanced delivery of questions throughout the exam.
