Top 10 tips for passing the CFP exam
5. Focus on things you can control
My tip on passing consists on focusing on a few things you can control. Be prepared, put the time in to study, without the necessary prep you have no chance of passing. Don't fight the exam, understand what the CFP Board expects out of a CFP, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, answer the way they want. Finally, practice pacing for the exam prior to taking the exam. Time management is especially important for this exam, and if you haven't practiced you could find yourself halfway through the questions during one of the two three-hour sessions with only five minutes left.
