CFA Level 2 Exam Structure, Fee and Registration Details

CFA LEVEL 2: OVERVIEW

The Level II test will take place over the course of four and a half hours, divided into two equal periods of two hours and twelve minutes each, with a possible break in between. The CFA Level II exam is composed of 22 item sets that include vignettes and 88 related multiple-choice questions. Candidates may require proctor help at any point during the exam's normal course. Proctors will arrive at workstations as soon as they can to offer assistance. If possible, we advise candidates to finish their exam before a proctor arrives. To ensure that candidates still have enough time to answer all questions, our exam writers constructed the test to accommodate for brief stops or interruptions.

 

Format of the CFA Level II Exam Questions

There are a total of 22 items on the Level II exam, with 11 item sets in each session. Twenty of the questions are graded, and two are trial questions that won't be graded.

 

Each item set's multiple-choice questions must be completed using the details from the vignette. Therefore, unlike in the CFA Level I test, the items are not free-standing. You must read the vignette before responding to each question. Both sessions, and just the first and second, might cover all of the themes. The topic and total point value will be stated at the outset of each item set vignette.
