Hey all! I was wondering how much time you put aside to study for the CFP exam. Only the review course I am speaking about. I plan on doing three months for about 15 hrs each week. I work full-time so I was going to put in 10-12 hrs during the work week and 3-5 hrs on the weekend. Has anyone had any success with their review course study?

Passed July 12. My official results on the CFP site still show pending. Maybe it will be updated tomorrow.
My fees after passing, and spending thousands on the education requirements/exam prep course/exam fee/etc. is the initial $200 fee plus another $708 for the annual certification.
I’m looking to get some sort of insight into some of the details of this role. Can anyone highlight what is the typical compensation (base salary and guarantee)? From what I can tell you aren’t expected to prospect from outside the firm and are given warm leads and a book of business, is this correct?
So I’ve been a financial planner for over four years now and I’m starting to feel burnt out, mainly on the client service aspect of things. I’m finding it more and more exhausting to constantly provide top notch service and I feel I may leave my current job soon.
Hi everyone, I’m a career changer, and fingers crossed set to complete coursework with Dalton in March, in time to sit for July exam. I was wondering if anyone has used a CFP exam coach/tutor? I will use Dalton’s exam prep, but once a week at least I feel like I need to have a one on one with someone to break down some of the concepts.
I am planning to take the exam in July of 2021, and want to get my study materials ASAP. When I go to order the books from Kaplan for the July exam, it says they won’t be available until March 2021. I’m wondering if I can work around this by ordering the books for the March date and still take it in July.

The actual test was much harder then the CFP Board Exam, but obviously doable. Shoot me a message with any and all questions. Happy to help any way I can!!
I took, and failed, the CFP Exam in March of 2020. I used Kaplan, Dalton and took the official CFP mock exam. I scored 70 + on all prep materials, which most people on here assured me a passing grade on the real exam--alas, it did not. Here are my thoughts about what I am doing differently this time:
Passed today, and so happy! I’ve never studied for something this hard before.
I passed a few hours ago using Zahn as my sole prep provider! Graduated my undergrad in Dec 2020 with my Certificate in Personal Financial Planning (which allowed me to sit for the exam). If you have any questions about Zahn, my undergraduate experience or anything general about the exam. Feel free to either reply or send me a DM.
Obviously our jobs are very relationship based. I really enjoy getting to know clients and them dropping their guard and telling me more and more as time progresses.

I met with a Fidelity recruiter and they suggested I apply for Investment consultant and told me the complete pay for the role was about 90k/ year. I was wondering how accurate that is? I know the base is 42k. Rest is incentive pay.
Looking for information on the Core and Advanced curriculum for the CFP designation.
Hi everyone. This is my first post on this thread, and on reddit in general. I've always read posts on here and thought it was time to add a post. If I'm doing something wrong please let me know or redirect me.
They are both completely online, and not nearly as intensive as CFP, but they both look interesting to me and I would enroll just for my own knowledge of retirement planning and advising skills.
Hey everyone, for those that have passed the exam wanted some quick advice with respects to my timeline on the education and review.
