I teach online group classes on all topics in the program for each level, with the exception of ETHICS.
Before moving on to the practical exercises, I always give a reminder of the necessary theoretical prerequisites and then go over the typical questions that can be found on the day of the exam
for the Topic concerned.
I provide explanations in interaction with the group so that everyone can participate and better understand.
The topics I focus on are those that the candidates, as a whole, find the most complicated to assimilate and deal with.
Naturally, specific questions may be asked during these sessions, which I hope will be as productive as possible.
I break down the most obscure concepts and leave no formula unexplained.
Why do I do this? Because the CFA is a professional certification that aims to make you operational quickly. And how can you be operational unless you can use your own knowledge to good effect?
Secondly, and naturally, being able to reconstruct a formula, because it is understood, will allow you to answer the question asked precisely, whatever the context of the case submitted to the
candidate on the day of the exam.
The format of the exam will logically always value those who will privilege this approach and will sanction the others.
Finally, it is much more satisfying to be able to reformulate a concept that is sometimes counter-intuitive at first glance than to regurgitate it mechanically without having been able to
assimilate it beforehand.
