Many people have been asking about how long to prepare for the CFMAS exam, whether it’s so difficult that you’ll need to take leave and such…
I’ve just posted a poll on which CFMAS Exam is the most difficult and requires most preparation time. Collectively, I think we have a better answer.
In my opinion, M5 is the driest, lot’s of memory work, best to do some cramming (2 full days before). M9 involves some calculation and understanding, thus spreading out the studying over 2 weeks (1-2hrs a day) would be better. Health insurance like M5 is a bit dry, questions can be quite tricky and not straight forward, so do lots of mock exams! M8 is not easy for those without a business diploma/degree background, so be prepared to spend 2-3 weeks of preparations, focus on practice of mock exams but understand the topic well. M6 difficulty is at least twice that of M8.
That’s just my feedback. Perhaps, collectively more light can be shed here.
Kindly participate in my poll if you have already taken the exams and help the newbies, ya?
