CFA Exam Eligibility Policy

Candidates are permitted to take the exam a maximum of two times per calendar year (when applicable), but not in consecutive windows or windows that are six months or less apart. Candidates will have a total of six maximum attempts per exam level.

Only those individuals that meet all admission criteria, including the professional conduct admission criteria, and are not the subject of a suspension or prohibition from participation in a CFA Institute exam program are eligible to register for and take the exam.
