[Level I Session] Ready for Battle – Mock Exam (May 2026) (18 Apr 2026)
(CODE: 260418H-CAEX)
If you are preparing for the May 2026 CFA exam and have a desire for realistic exam practice in a simulated testing environment, our focused initiative “Ready for Battle – Mock Exam” presents the perfect opportunity for you!
In collaboration with UWorld, this event offers a unique opportunity for CFA candidates to engage a UWorld CFA mock exam with your fellow candidates. UWorld mock exams closely replicate the actual test in all aspects – format, question weighting, difficulty, and interface, thereby providing an accurate simulation.
In addition, our experienced Candidate Services Committee Members and Study Group Leaders, who are also CFA Charterholders, will dissect and analyse the mock questions with you to fortify your comprehension of the materials. Throughout the event, speakers will share intensive exam strategies and tips to help you pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. This invaluable opportunity enables you to evaluate your exam readiness and gain priceless insights from industry professionals.
* Please note: This mock exam is for candidates who are currently May 2026 CFA Level I candidates.
