Keep year and pathway together
The practice uses the 2027 common core and Private Markets pathway. A 2026 outline or another pathway’s reading list can describe a different study scope. Use your candidate account for learning materials and requirements tied to your registration.
Check corrections before repeating a calculation
An amended exhibit can change an input, cash-flow interpretation or answer. Compare the reading and exhibit with the current official correction notice before concluding that a difference is only rounding. When reporting a practice issue, identify the case, question and relevant dated source through Updates & Feedback.
Original Finance Prep cases are fictional educational exercises. They are not official assessment questions, a substitute for required candidate activities or evidence of eligibility for the CFA designation.
Verify constructed-response instructions
Use the official Level III constructed-response guidance for current response and calculation instructions. Finance Prep’s suggested answers and optional self-scoring are original practice guidance, not an official marking scheme.
