Prepare to Pass CFA Level III with a Step-by-Step Study Solution
Schweser study packages provide you with all the tools, expert instruction, and guidance you need to pass the Level III CFA exam. No guessing where to begin or what to study next.
You’re almost there, so don’t let up now! The CFA® Level III exam requires demonstration of the same skills as Level II but tests your ability to make and write about judgment calls. The constructed response section of the CFA Level III exam is the biggest difference between the previous levels. You must answer open-ended questions that do not have multiple-choice questions. The historical pass rate for CFA Level III is 56%.
Schweser’s premier CFA Level III exam prep study packages include guidance from CFA experts in online Masterclasses and the candidate-favorite SchweserNotes™. You also get exclusive access to our Kaplan Schweser Community forum with added insights from instructors and fellow candidates.
Be sure to Choose Study Package by Specialized Pathway.
- 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. It is structured as an arc from a young adult being onboarded to generating wealth through wealth transfer.
