anyone done the CSI capstone course?/CFP final exam..
Hi, I recently signed up for the CSI capstone course, and just wanted to touch base with anyone that's completed the financial plans in the last little while... (i think CSI has been running the course for 5-10 years now.)
If you did complete the CSI capstone course, a few questions:
1) how similar is the 20 question online multiple choice test to the 45 question "self assessment"?
2) the mini financial plans are 10 pages each... including all the appendix's etc.. how in depth did you go?
3) the final plan which you have to buy off the FPSC website - 45 pages?Are they looking for every single thing (how granular are they?)
4) -- HOW Annoying are the graders? did you get nit picked for everything? or is CSI a bit more lenient on the grading of these courses?
Lastly... before I purchase the "practice exam" for CFP exam - as I gather it is a written exam..... Unsure if you've completed the PFP - but the PFP written component (part 2) was essentially a couple case studies and then you write out your responses applying the financial planning concepts.
How similar to the PFP written exam is it?
I found the PFP exam pretty easy over all.
