About the CFA
The CFA is a high-stakes admission test: candidates who score in the top percentile secure a seat in the limited-number program they applied for. Your preparation has to match that pressure — broad enough to cover the full syllabus, but selective enough to spend time on the topics that actually move your score.
TestBuddy's digital manual is built around the official CFA syllabus and reorganised into bite-sized lessons. Every section is paired with practice questions on the same micro-topic, so theory and drilling stay tightly coupled instead of living in two separate worlds.
Theory keeps getting refined every time the CFA test format changes — we update one source and your manual updates everywhere. No more obsolete paper editions sitting on your desk.
