Getting CFP Certification - My Approach & Tips

I recently cleared CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER Certification. Below explains my approach while preparing for the Certification:

I took Challenge Status Route & attended IMS Pro School Classes in Mumbai over weekends. I studied for about 2 months over weekends before giving the exam. I thoroughly completed Case no. 14 to 24 given on Pro School Website. I Identified the gaps where I was not scoring & prepared comprehensive notes that came very handy. 

I reviewed all Theory Questions given on Pro School Website. I could only attempt one case in real time 4 hour target. I registered 2 Weeks before Exam & took 4 days leave before Exam. 99% Questions were covered in IMS Pro School Syllabus. I thought I did well, but actually did not. But I passed :)

I fell short of time in the Exam. This was very surprising. I was prepared to use Open Office. However, Mumbai Center has Excel :)  

Best of Luck
