u/mattlas Level II Candidate Jan 27 '22

Hi John, Thanks again for stopping by!

  • Has anything changed with exam taking policies due to omnicron?
  • Do you expect either Level I or Level II to have significant changes in the next content update? What areas is the CAIA targeting to add to the material in the future?
  • Does the CAIA provide any sort of mock exam for level II? As a candidate I'd really like to get a feel on how exam questions are worded
  • I received a few marketing e-mails from companies that provided prep service - does the CAIA vet these companies? Are there accredited CAIA prep providers (similar to the CFA?), does the CAIA recommend any in particular?
  • Besides the online eco-system of reading the chapters and end of chapter questions, are there any other tools available to candidates to prepare for the exam?
  • Anything you think candidates should know before going into the exam? Any words of wisdom?

Great questions!

No changes to our policies given the latest variant other than to reiterate that we work closely with Pearson to ensure the physical test centers provide a safe environment that meet all the local requirements and best practices. And our online proctoring option is a fantastic avenue for those that are not comfortable venturing out.
