Caia Exam Questions Pdf

83

CAIA TOPIC WEIGHTS. • The level I exam is composed of 200 multiple choice questions. Serial number check. (100 questions for each two-hour part). That's 1.2 minutes per question.

I just started a new role in corporate finance for an alternatives investment group. Download nirvana unplugged mtv youtube full episodes. I was thinking about sitting for the exam in september. However, i wasn't sure how people typically study. I downloaded all of the materials from the website (study guide, standard of practice handbook, etc) and was going to buy the textbook.

Did you read the text book, or only read other guides like the kaplan resources or some other source like that? Also, how far in advance did you begin to study? I was an actuary before and for our exams we had to start like 6 months before the exam. How much was math problems and how much was more theory based qualitative stuff? I used the textbook, Kaplans Secret Sauce book, and the Uppermark question bank. The textbook is the best place to acquire CAIA info and it's excellently distilled in the Sauce book. The Uppermark questions closely resemble what you will see on the exam.

Kaplan's practice questions are widely considered to be trash. I studied for seven weeks and took the exam as a part of my senior thesis. I took a course called Alternative Investments which covered the CAIA material before I started studying so I had some advantage going into it. You, as an actuary who works in alts already, also have an advantage.

Especially on the quant and statistical material which accounts for up to 30% of the exam if I remember correctly. I found the Handbook and Study Guide to be unhelpful and did not use them. I did not read the Standards either. The Uppermark material includes 300+ ethics questions and I thought the best way to go through that section was to answer questions. Retrospectively, I should have read the Standards.

Ethics was my only weak section. Knowing what I do now, I would use the textbook and then use the Uppermark material by chapter. Uppermark did a phenomenal job and you can answer 80+ questions on any individual chapter section. I don't see you having a problem on time.

I'm happy to be of help. CAIA is a funny journey. Uppermark is a publisher of a wide variety of services and the service I am recommending is the question bank. They also have weekly videos and other tools but I did not use them.

Yes, I think that would be a good method. Alternatively - just go through the CAIA book and then hit the question bank once you're done. That's what I did but then did not have enough time to actually use all the Uppermark questions and it's probably better to apply as you go. I only did about one third of the question bank.

If you were highly motivated and went through every chapter, your score would be boiling molten lava dylan hot. Here if you have more questions - I really like the material. I took the CAIA during my last year of college so I don't have an industry background, I just graduated a month ago. I actually studied molecular biology and wrote my thesis on the impact investing space.

I'm currently at a start up in SF. I took the CAIA basically because I wanted to know about the space and bring my overall knowledge up. I will say that the CAIA is awesome because it gives you a really robust background. Two of my colleagues worked at hedge funds and I can have pretty seamless convo's with them concerning the industry to the point where one colleague did not believe that I had not worked at one. If you are taking the CFA, the CAIA is probably 30-40% the same material. You'd likely pass - especially on the ethics section because CAIA uses the CFA ethics material iirc.

How comfortable with you are in structured products, portfolio management, hedge funds, commodities, and private equity? That's the real core of the CAIA curriculum and if the answer is not very comfortable - then don't give yourself a month. Try and take the practice exam on the CAIA site to gauge how similar to the CFA the CAIA is.

My concern is that even if you did digest all of the material in 3 - 4 weeks that you would not have time to really consolidate and apply your knowledge. I would say that the UpperMark question bank is a necessity - the questions are rigorous and there's no other way to check yourself - the CAIA materials are worthless. Do you actually see yourself reading the CAIA book 8-12 hours a day and answering questions for the rest of your waking hours? • I did not find the level 1 to be difficult. I majored in neurochem so there was a learning curve for me.
