Resources for self-guided study
Certainly, the most effective way to prepare for the CFA Exam is to enroll in a comprehensive Stalla System course and take advantage of the wealth of integrated study resources and guidance from Stalla faculty and subject matter experts.
For those who choose not to enroll in a Stalla course, we make available a limited number of our exam preparation tools for purchase in pre-selected packages or as individual resources.
- PassMaster™ Homework and Drilling Software
- Study Guides and Exam Volumes (set)
- Practice Exams
- Flashcards

PassMaster Homework and Drilling Software
Included with both System courses, The Basics, and available for individual purchase.
Our exclusive PassMaster™ Homework and Drilling Software provides a constantly expanding databank of exam-like questions -- currently more than 2,500 for Level I alone -- and uses timed drills and problem-solving exercises to help you learn to approach exam problems quickly and efficiently.
PassMaster explains why answer choices are correct and incorrect and allows you to quickly link to specific pages of the electronic Study Guide text for even more indepth explanations and theory. The software can generate simulated, customized exams on any subject you choose, and it tracks your strengths and weaknesses so you can focus your valuable study time where you need it most. With the electronic Study Guide at your fingertips, PassMaster is also the perfect study resource for when you travel.
Study Guides and Practice Exams (set)
Both included with both System courses and The Basics and available for individual purchase.
Stalla's Study Guides correspond directly to CFA Institute's assigned readings and study sessions and deliver the most comprehensive and understandable content available. They're organized to let you focus on what you need to study most and to minimize efforts spent on topics you already understand. They use everyday language to clarify complex financial theory and include Learning Outcome Statements (LOS), practice questions, key point summaries, and an index for quick reference.
Practice Exams
Included with both System courses, The Basics, and The Final Review and available for individual purchase.
Stalla's Practice Exams are a collection of both past and potential exam questions representing every current LOS. These texts, combined with PassMaster's progressive drills and in-class problem solving, will help you build speed and confidence for your upcoming CFA Exam.

Our flashcard series is the convenient and effective way to review and drill on CFA assigned Learning Outcome Statements (LOS). The front of each card presents an LOS, the back a brief answer and explanation. Use flashcards as a study group resource or for independent drill to improve the pace at which you can answer questions. Or, grab a handful to review each day when you're on the run.
