CFA考试重点之CFA二级考试重点
CFA2级考核重点：
CFA2级考试采用案例分析单选题考核的模式，CFA协会自2000年开始在CFA二级阶段试行案例分析考试模式，2005年真正确定二级的考试模式。经过几年测试确定案例分析的考试模式更具针对性，更有助于考核考生知识掌握程度，更能考核考生的专业水平。因为案例分析题更能考核考生的知识掌握程度，能直观地评测出考生的综合能力、逻辑思维和特殊问题的实务解决能力。金融行业的决策影响较大，错误的决定必然导致重大损失。
Level II and II Item-Set Questions
Sample item-set questions are available in the CFA Program - CFA Exams section of the CFA Institute website. Testing research has shown that examinations consisting of multiple-choice items (and item sets) typically have greater validity, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness than constructed response (essay) questions addressing the same topics. Validity indicates that an examination is measuring what it intends to measure; reliability provides an indication of the accuracy of that measurement; efficiency refers to the breadth and depth of topic coverage; and cost-effectiveness refers to the economics of constructing and grading the examination.
Difficulty is primarily a function of the subject matter and question construction. Most importantly, multiple-choice and item-set questions can be used to test higher-level thinking, including critical thinking and problem solving. Although the multiple-choice and item-set formats are not appropriate for testing creative thinking and writing abilities, the CFA Program is not intended to test those skills (and these abilities would be difficult to fairly assess for a large global candidate population). Nearly all licensing and professional credentialing examinations with large candidate populations are conducted in the multiple-choice and/or item-set formats.
