什么是機(jī)考,它給咱們帶來怎樣的機(jī)會(huì)和應(yīng)戰(zhàn),中國考生應(yīng)該怎么揚(yáng)長避短順勢而為,
將從專業(yè)視點(diǎn)為我們深度解讀。

協(xié)會(huì)首先為我們闡述了考試形式改革的動(dòng)機(jī)和時(shí)間:為了使學(xué)員可以更好的整合多項(xiàng)任務(wù)和提高專業(yè)兼容性,協(xié)會(huì)有2021年正式啟動(dòng)CFA一級的機(jī)考考試。其中考試時(shí)間具體分布如下:

重點(diǎn)解讀
(1)考生可以自行選擇考試時(shí)間。
(2)全球考點(diǎn)增加至400個(gè)(2019年6月不完全統(tǒng)計(jì)為近200個(gè))。
(3)每年開設(shè)4次一級機(jī)考考試,單考生最多只能注冊兩次機(jī)考考試。一級考試將全部改為機(jī)考考試不再有常規(guī)考試。
官網(wǎng)Q&A部分:
Q.What will the exam cycle look like once you transition and will it change how long it takes to complete the program
We plan to offer Level I CFA Program computer-based testing in four windows each year(February,May,August,and November)held in more locations around the world than we currently offer.The first computer-based exam will be offered in February 2021.Each window will offer a maximum of seven days during which candidates can sit for the exam.The length of exam windows will vary from city to city depending on demand.
We are committed to maintaining the rigor of the exam and the candidate experience.Every candidate who does not pass Level I will have to wait a minimum of six months to retake the exam-the same timeframe as current candidates must wait.Candidates who pass the first Level I C exam will have to wait until registration opens for the next available Level II exam,which is also a minimum of six months.Candidates will move through the program at the same pace as they can currently.
重點(diǎn)解讀
1.機(jī)考考試每年有四個(gè)考季,分別為2月,5月,8月和11月(以前6月和12月的第一個(gè)周六),每個(gè)考季最多可持續(xù)七天,每個(gè)城市的考季長度不定。
2.對于一級需要重考的考生,重考日期間隔為至少6個(gè)月(與之前相同)。
3.如果考生順利通過一級,必須等待至少6個(gè)月才能進(jìn)行二級的考試。因此三個(gè)級別的通關(guān)總時(shí)間不變。
此處需注意:如果你在當(dāng)年2月份完成了一級考試,則需要在次年的6月份參加二級考試,備考時(shí)間加長容易遺忘一級的知識點(diǎn)。
Q.Will the exam format change
With the transition to computer-based testing,CFA Institute
will implement a change in exam length.In February 2021,we will reduce the Level I CFA Program exam to 180 questions resulting in a proportional reduction in testing time.CFA Institute invested in independent psychometric research which clearly showed that a shorter exam would not affect our ability to reliably determine who has demonstrated the required competency to pass the exam.Just as a thermometer does not provide more accurate readings with longer measurements,the longer exam is not providing sufficient additional insights to warrant remaining at 240 questions.
Each exam appointment will include:
·30 minutes allotted to pledge,tutorial,and survey
·135 minutes for session 1
·30 minutes for mandatory break
·135 minutes for session 2
·Total testing time is 4.5 hours
·Total appointment time is 5.5 hours
Following each exam window,we will determine the Minimum Passing Score based on performance as we always have.We know exam results will be released faster,however,we have not yet established the exact amount of time for results to be released.We expect to provide a more reasonable expectation after the first few C administrations.
重點(diǎn)解讀
1.協(xié)會(huì)在不影響對考生能力和兼容成立考核情況下,出于人性的種種考慮縮短了考試時(shí)間,因此減少了考試題目。但此項(xiàng)改革是否就是一大利好,仍需要我們深思與長時(shí)間的探索。
2.改革之后:考試時(shí)間分為上下半場分別為135分鐘,中間休息時(shí)間為半個(gè)小時(shí)。中間休息時(shí)間明顯縮短,考生無法像之前的考試一樣用正餐,需要準(zhǔn)備一些扛餓熱量高的速食易攜帶食物,但此類食物的特點(diǎn)就是容易引發(fā)胃腸不適,考生需要在考前對身體進(jìn)行調(diào)節(jié)。
建議:雖然必然實(shí)為必然的挑戰(zhàn)
本次機(jī)考是協(xié)會(huì)的試推行僅限于一級,二級和三級考試形式不變?nèi)詾槊磕?月舉行1天。
本次考試的利好在于:
1.考試中心更多,考生可以選擇的考季和考試日期更為靈活,
2.考試時(shí)間縮短,題量等比例變小,減輕了考生的考場負(fù)擔(dān)。
但是我們依舊面臨著很多考驗(yàn)和挑戰(zhàn):
1.每年設(shè)立更多考點(diǎn),意味著考試機(jī)會(huì)增多,這會(huì)吸引更多人成為考生。同時(shí),協(xié)會(huì)在通過率方面依舊嚴(yán)格,更多競爭者將導(dǎo)致愈加白熱化的競爭,從而削弱現(xiàn)有考生的競爭優(yōu)勢。因此,機(jī)考時(shí)代意味著“全面競爭”,而目前常規(guī)的一級考試仍是考生避風(fēng)港。
2.一級考試次數(shù)增加帶來更多機(jī)會(huì),但同時(shí)包含拉長總體考試時(shí)間跨度的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。尤其是可能拉長一級到二級的過渡時(shí)長,這可能讓考生失去一鼓作氣的勇氣,導(dǎo)致“再而衰三而竭”。
3.考試題目減少會(huì)減少考察知識點(diǎn)的分散化程度,即增加極端風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的可能性,在結(jié)果上或?qū)?dǎo)致對知識盲區(qū)權(quán)重的放大,同時(shí)這也可能影響考場心態(tài)。因此,無論在知識準(zhǔn)備上,還是考場心態(tài)調(diào)節(jié)上,都將是一大挑戰(zhàn)。
4.機(jī)考要求我們快速在紙筆和鼠標(biāo)鍵盤之間切換。我們需要鼠標(biāo)點(diǎn)擊選擇答案,但我們依舊需要紙筆進(jìn)行演算,快速切換能力無疑是新增能力需求。同時(shí),擅長在紙上勾勾畫畫的“紙筆派”考生,是否能快速適應(yīng)“屏幕派”的應(yīng)試需求,同樣也是新考試方式帶來的挑戰(zhàn)。
5.考試上下半場中間休息時(shí)間僅為半個(gè)小時(shí),這可能導(dǎo)致大腦休息不充足,無法在下半場考試中集中注意力高效發(fā)揮。同時(shí),30分鐘的休息明顯不利于“中國胃”,午餐進(jìn)食冷餐可能導(dǎo)致身體不適,這同樣需要考生在備考之前就開始進(jìn)行飲食上的調(diào)整適應(yīng),以及腦力體力等諸多方面的高強(qiáng)度適應(yīng)性訓(xùn)練??梢哉f,2021年之前的CFA考試僅僅是一天的考試,而此后的CFA考試,或會(huì)成為考生人生中最漫長的一天。
什么是機(jī)考,它給咱們帶來怎樣的機(jī)會(huì)和應(yīng)戰(zhàn),中國考生應(yīng)該怎么揚(yáng)長避短順勢而為,
將從專業(yè)視點(diǎn)為我們深度解讀。
