就CFA考试来说，一共三个级别的考试，需要一级接着一级，循序渐进的考。 高顿财经小编鼓励各位考生，正因为cfa特许金融分析师考试的难度和含金量，才能够拥有目前全球的认可。所以，好好坚持学习这一门课程，必将对你的将来大有作用。

CFA考试时间介绍：

CFA一级考试每年举行两次，分别在每年六月和十二月的先进个周日;二、三级考试每年举行一次，在每年六月的先进个周日。

三个级别的考试时间均为上下午各三个小时。

CFA题型介绍：

现在一二级的考试题型都是选择题，一级是多项选择(multiple choice)，共计240道题，09年之前是ABCD四个选项，四选一，09年开始改革为ABC三个选项，三选一。

二级是个案例多项选择(item set multiple choice)，20道Item Set，每题6个小题，共120道题，同样从09年开始改革为ABC三个选项，三选一。

CFA二级考试大纲重点：

CFA2级考试采用案例分析单选题考核的模式，CFA协会自2000年开始在CFA二级阶段试行案例分析考试模式，2005年真正确定二级的考试模式。经过几年测试确定案例分析的考试模式更具针对性，更有助于考核考生知识掌握程度，更能考核考生的专业水平。因为安利分析题更能考核考生的知识掌握程度，能直观地评测出考生的综合能力、逻辑思维和特殊问题的实务解决能力。金融行业的决策影响较大，错误的决定必然导致重大损失。

Level II and II Item-Set Questions

Sample item-set questions are available in the CFA Program - CFA Exams section of the CFA Institute website. 　Testing research has shown that examinations consisting of multiple-choice items (and item sets) typically have greater validity, reliability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness than constructed response (essay) questions addressing the same topics.  Validity indicates that an examination is measuring what it intends to measure, reliability provides an indication of the accuracy of that measurement, efficiency refers to the breadth and depth of topic coverage and cost-effectiveness refers to the economics of constructing and grading the examination.

Difficulty is primarily a function of the subject matter and question construction. Most importantly, multiple-choice and item-set questions can be used to test higher-level thinking, including critical thinking and problem solving.  Although the multiple-choice and item-set formats are not appropriate for testing creative thinking and writing abilities, the CFA Program is not intended to test those skills (and these abilities would be difficult to fairly assess for a large global candidate population).  Nearly all licensing and professional credentialing examinations with large candidate populations are conducted in the multiple-choice and/or item-set formats.
