  那么对于CFA二级考试有什么好的学习方法呢?一起去看看
  适当选用参考材料
  CFA二级考纲指定了12本参考书,阅读量非常大,因此,考生常有这样的疑问:这些参考书要不要通读?还是只需读专业机构出版的辅导讲义(Study Notes)?一般来说,应以参考书为本,以Study Notes为纲,即简单的内容直接看Notes,重点和难点的内容则应读原版的参考书,此外,还要根据自己的复习进度选择一些习题集。
  安排有效训练
  答题速度仍然是通过CFA二级考试的关键,因此,考生在复习中,不仅要掌握知识原理,还要进行适当和有效的题目训练。训练的目的除了巩固学习成果,还要提高做题速度。在最后的冲刺阶段,一定要进行一到两次的模考,以便找到薄弱环节,及时弥补不足。
  抓住关键知识点
  CFA一级考试重点是金融基本概念和公式,而二级考试重点是资产定价理论的运用和高级会计理论,考生在备考中要注意关键知识点的变化。此外,二级考试对会计科目的要求进一步提高,在一级基础会计的基础上,新增了公司并购会计、投资会计、外币会计和养老金会计等专题,还要求考生能辨识财务报表中的“会计骗术”。
