Have you registered your exam date on CFP.net yet?

Yes, I’ve registered and have a target date.

I’m planning to but haven’t yet.

Not yet—I’m still exploring the process.

How are you currently deciding what to study each week?

I have a custom plan aligned to my strengths and weaknesses.

I follow my prep program’s schedule even if it doesn’t match what I struggle with.

I mostly guess or just do the topics I like.

I don’t have a structured plan at all.

How confident are you that your study time is going toward high-weight exam topics?

Very confident—I’ve reviewed the domain weightings.

Somewhat confident—but I haven’t mapped my time to the CFP Board percentages.

Not confident—I’m trying to cover everything equally.

I didn’t know the domains were weighted differently.

When was the last time you reviewed or assessed your weak areas?

I track my performance weekly and shift my study plan accordingly.

I’ve done it once or twice since starting.

I haven’t yet—I’m just working through the material.

I don’t know how to assess that.

Are your study blocks designed to simulate actual exam conditions (e.g., 3-hour stretches)

Yes—I’ve scheduled blocks to build stamina.

I try to, but my schedule’s inconsistent.

Not really—I study whenever I can.

I haven’t thought about simulating exam conditions.

Would you find it valuable to have a system that allocates your study time based on your domain strengths/weaknesses and exam date?

Yes—that’s exactly what I need.

Maybe, but I’d still want to use other resources.

Not sure it would make a difference.

I’m confident building my own plan.
