CFA® vs. GMAT
I'm going to start off by saying this is not another CFA® vs. MBA thread. The purpose of this thread is to address a completely different issue. I'm trying to figure out what percentage of the college educated population is even capable of passing all three levels of the CFA® and what percentage of the college educated population is capable of getting a 700 gmat score.
MBA: Looking at gmat practice tests, I get the impression that it is more an aptitude test than a test of knowledge. If someone's raw score is 500, no matter how much they study, odds are they're never going to get a 700.
CFA® : From what I've read (can't find it now) ~7% of the people that originally sit down for level 1 of the CFA® actually end up passing all three levels. That's a pretty low number, but to be fair, there are quite a few considerations bringing that number down. A large number of the people that sit down for level 1 are people trying to break in from other industries, a lot of people just give up after they figure out how much material the CFA® covers, and a lot of people simply decide to invest their time into other endeavors. From my brief experience studying the CFA® level 1 material and looking at practice tests, it seems to me like the CFA® is a test of knowledge, rather than a test of cognitive ability. I think if you put in the time, effort, and are willing to keep trying after failed attempts, odds are you're eventually going to pass.
In conclusion, if you have a relatively average IQ and want to work in the investment management industry, I think the CFA® is the way to go. Opinions monkeys?
CFA® vs MBA difficulty
It is worth considering that only 10% of applicants who take the GMAT score in the 90th percentile or the 700+ range. On the other hand, the amount of applicants who pass all three levels of the CFA® is about 8 percent. Here are some thoughts from the community on the GMAT vs the CFA® .
from certified user @Going Concern"
I agree...if I spent the same amount of time studying for the GMAT as I did for the CFA® (let's call it 400+ hrs), I would be expecting a solid 800.
from certified user @Marcus_Halberstram"
What percentage of college educated people are capable of passing CFA® or scoring over GMAT 700? Capable of? How would you even begin to measure that?
I'd venture to guess close to 100%. Are they willing to dedicate the time and resources to hit either of those thresholds... thats impossible to say. And stupid to debate.
It's not PhD in fluid dynamics from MIT... some people just don't have the mental horsepower to do that.
What the GMAT tests more than anything else is how motivated the test taker is to achieve a high score. Its at its worst high school math with some time constraints and tricky wording.
CFA® is tests knowledge. With enough time spent studying, there's no reason you can't learn the material and pass it. Is it more work than the GMAT? I'd certainly hope so, you take it across several years.
from certified user @oreos"
I love these threads which boost my CFA® ego.
Personally, i agree that the exams are totally different. You are (to an extent) born with the equipment to get high GMAT (or not, as the case may be), but you can just learn the CFA® (again, assuming you can tie your shoelaces etc.).
ppl who pass the CFA test, more likely to have a good score on GMAT; ppl who have a great score on GMAT, might not be able to pass CFA test.!?
As someone who got a 700+ and is sitting for Level III, I can say that passing all 3 levels is miles tougher. I find it truly hard to believe that if you are capable of learning everything well enough in the CFA curriculum to pass, that there is no way you can't master basic grammar and addition/ multiplication well enough to get a 700+
I agree...if I spent the same amount of time studying for the GMAT as I did for the CFA (let's call it 400+ hrs), I would be expecting a solid 800.
Sure, the people capable of scoring a 700 on the GMAT can do so without much effort, relative to passing all three levels of the CFA. The point I'm trying to make though is that the people who scored a 500 or below on their initial GMAT attempt are unlikely to ever touch 700, whereas I think passing all three levels of the CFA is something most people can do with enough time and effort.
I've taken the GMAT and passed CFAI and I agree with this last comment. The CFA, as grueling as it is, is about memorizing formulas and concepts whereas the GMAT is a live exam that has more of an IQ element to it and the questions are increasingly complex as you answer them correctly. Someone who couldn't even crack 600 on the GMAT could pass the CFA if they have the discipline and will power, but not necessarily vice versa.
I only studied for 6 weeks for CFAI and passed comfortably, but I did not break 700 on the GMAT. The CFA measures your understanding of finance, GMAT measures mental aptitude.
Level I is a joke, come back after you've attempted II and III. Of course passing Level I is easier than a 700 on the GMAT, but that's not the question.
And as someone who's taught the GMAT it is formulas and rules, i.e. paralellism, subject verb agreement, triangles, basic permutations. A hell of a lot less than all that has to be learned and applied to pass level II Financial Statements. I've also yet to sit for III but from what I've read so far and heard there are hardly any formulas, and III is mainly application.
I agree with this...
The CFA is useful, the GMAT is useless. It is simply a quick and dirty way to eliminate people when it comes to admissions. Same thing with IQ tests.Honestly, all of these standardized tests are nothing more than a necessary evil. They define people when they shouldn't.
I love these threads which boost my CFA ego.
Personally, i agree that the exams are totally different. You are (to an extent) born with the equipment to get high GMAT (or not, as the case may be), but you can just learn the CFA (again, assuming you can tie your shoelaces etc.).
Oreos, I'm guessing you have your CFA charter, so congrats. The GMAT can be easily taught and beat by anyone, and I really don't consider it an IQ Test. Now if you would have said getting a 170+ on the LSAT that's a different story. I consider the LSAT to be much more fair comparison as opposed to the plug and chug GMAT.
Have to agree with TNA. I don't expect that anyone with average IQ couldn't do well on these. It's much more a function of how focused and how much time you spend on learning/practicing the things that matter.
If you have above average IQ and do poorly, then you have only your poor work ethic to blame.
What stupid question/debate. What percentage of college educated people are capable of passing CFA or scoring over GMAT 700? Capable of? How would you even begin to measure that?
I'd venture to guess close to 100%. Are they willing to dedicate the time and resources to hit either of those thresholds... thats impossible to say. And stupid to debate.

Long-time lurker here; finally had to chime in... I passed all 3 levels on my first attempt (ethics note: this does not mean I make better investment decisions) and scored 740 on the GMAT. The GMAT is much, much, much easier. I have to side with FutureBanker, you can learn to ace to GMAT, so it's not a pure IQ test. I'm pretty sure most people would break 700 if they put in the 1000+ hours require to pass all 3 CFA levels.
And if you take the 300 hours required to pass a cosmetology certification and apply it towards the GMAT, you would similarly ace the GMAT. So scoring 700+ on GMAT is easier than getting your certification in cosmetology.
This is an absurd comparison.
Haven't looked into the cosmetology certificate, so I can't speak to that. All I'm saying is that I disagree with OP's impression that the GMAT is "more an aptitude test than a test of knowledge." To FutureBanker's point, the GMAT has a finite amount of information that it can test on. In my opinion, that amount is less than the amount that can be tested on the CFA exams, and is therefore easier.
^I laughed.
Reminds me of arguing with my friends about grades vs. test scores. It just reveals biases.
Better SAT than GPA? Obviously the SAT is a better measure of awesomeness, classes are for drones.
4.0 GPA but average SAT? Good luck making it in the real world without any work ethic, dipsh*t.
I think there's some biases here because most of the people here are smart people to begin with. How many people score a 450 on the GMAT and then score a 700 after multiple attempts and hundreds of hours of tutoring/studying? From what I've found, most people only end up scoring ~100 points higher than their first attempt, even after extensive studying. That test tries to trick people and under the pressure of the clock, certain people are just not capable of scoring a 700.
The CFA has way more material to cover but the questions are straight forward. If you memorized all the formulas and rules, you're probably gonna pass.
My 2 cents anyway.
I need to disagree, you can learn the GMAT. In the UK we study maths until 16 then it is optional. Taking the test a few years on you forget all the concepts that are asked in the GMAT so would score about 400. After re-learning the concepts it is then possible to score hundreds higher.
I have dove both. Give me the GMAT any day of the week over CFA lvl 2 or 3.
While I admire anyone who is taking CFA, I'm sorry to say you aren't qualified to comment on this until you've sat lvl 2 or 3.
OP, you should also bear in mind that CFA lvl 3 is 50% essay based, and it isn't just about the grammar!
The CFA level 3 also has hands down the highest pass rate.
Another thing I completely forgot to mention is that a GMAT score in the 95th percentile gets you into MENSA. Anyways, I sort of feel this is turning into a chicken or the egg argument.
Come talk to me when you take the MCAT, now that is probably the most rough exam of them all. I knew so many pre-meds that the path too hard after their first year of college, switched major over to finance, and were literally beasting the classes while barely pulling Bs in introductory chem, bio, and physics classes.
GMAT and LSAT can both be learned. Reading Comprehension is the most difficult to improve but it can be done. Think people can practice their way to a 700 or 165, but beyond that, it's raw ability
GMAT vs. CFA (Originally Posted: 12/28/2006)
I'm currently a senior at a undergraduate business school. I've got myself a killer I-banking job next year. I've got a relatively easy credit load for this last semester (2.5 classes). I want to be in a top PE firm after 2 years in banking.
Do I spend my last semester studying for the GMAT or the CFA? What would you do?
I took GMAT in January of senior year and CFA May of Senior year.
Don't do the CFA. You'll regret it. It's nice to have level 1 done, but i missed a lot of fun of senior year by studying.
GMAT doesn't require a lot of studying. Spend 2-3 days reviewing the test strategies and then take the test.
Take the GMAT. CFA is for IM/HF people. You don't need to take the exam(s) if your goal is PE. Besides...you won't have the time to study for level II and III anyway.
i find the GMAT a real pain... sure the material is not hard but it's so confusing and saps your mental energy.
Why would you study for the GMAT now? Are you going to apply for the MBA anytime soon? Get some real work experience first.
People that discredit the CFA for PE do not know what they are talking about. I currently work in PE and am a CFA charterholder. I use what I learnt all the time. Level 1 and 2 are certainly relevant, level 3 less so, but still helpful. Of course it's not critical but still gives you an edge.
Why would you even compare GMAT to CFA? GMAT is useless unless you want to apply for the MBA. You actually would learn something from the CFA.
yeah sorry i should have been clear- i work at a hf now, so CFA helps a bit (not a lot).
Good to have a gmat score on file since its good for 5 years min. 2 @ banking + 2 @ PE, then you can apply with that score. Doesn't hurt to have it on file.
I plan to study on my own for the GMAT. What would you recommend for a study book? Kaplan, Princeton Review, Barrons, or Arco?
don't even remember what i used. Check your school's library. I bought one and used like 6 others from the library. Figured out quickly which ones I liked (were helpful) and which ones weren't.
I was told once you finsih undergrad w/ a major in finance CFA level 1 is a breeze...is this so?
that is correct
Do the GMAT
so wouldn't the CFA be a better option? (come from a nontarget w/ no ib offer)
CFA Level 1 v. GMAT (Originally Posted: 05/17/2010)
My situation:
About to enter senior year at Big10 school 3.5 in Finance
I'm weighing the pros and cons of the above choices. Obviously, passing the CFA Level 1 would look great on my resume but it entails significantly more work. A good score on the GMAT would look good on my resume but would it be enough to get me an interview for FT after this upcoming academic year? My experience is limited, therefore I'm attempting to add substance to my resume that shows my relative level of intelligence.
So, should I...
Take the GMAT after the fall semester and the CFA in June? Vice versa? Just one or the other?
Once again, I have no delusions of grandeur. My goal is a FT offer at a firm of any size or prestige (preferably buy-side, but willing to work sell-side). What will put me in the best position for that?
banking/asset man/s&t?
To be honest, I'd be lying if I said I had any direction as far as specifics are concerned but I suppose:
1) banking 2) trading 3) asset management
passing CFA level 1 will at least signal to employers that you are interested in finance not sure that having a high GMAT will help you too much with finding job out of ugrad
well buyside out of undergrad for banking isn't going to happen really; unless you consider doing finance within a F500..that could be a possibility--if you can ace the GMAT 740 or so I think that would be decently impressive.
OK, for the sake of specificity, let's say my goal is to be employed at a NYC boutique equity brokerage/research firm (seeing as buy-side is a bit far fetched right out of UG).
What's my preferred course of action?
From what I understand, most analyst recruiting is done in the fall (at least this is how it is at BB's I've talked with). I'd say take GMAT over the summer so you can actually put your score on your resume for the fall recruiting season. Taking the CFA in June would probably be too late to impress anyone with.
Of course, if research is your thing, and you get a job in research in the fall, then take the CFA in June so you can be prepared well for your research job.
Take the GMAT this Summer and the CFA L1 in December. Put down on your resume that your are a L1 candidate and be prepared to answer questions about what you are learning. You won't be able to pass L2 until a year after you graduate but L1 is a solid background for someone starting in research.
Thanks everyone. I'm going to take the GMAT in August and, prospectively, the CFA L1 in June 2011.
GMAT or CFA Level 1? (Originally Posted: 08/07/2010)
I am currently a rising junior in college. I was wondering, for junior year SA positions, will the GMAT exam or CFA Level 1 exam give more of a boost on the resume during recruiting season?
Please not that shit again...
Taking GMAT/CFA L1 is straight-up ridiculous. Network, network, and again network your ass off. Contact alumni, chat with them, stroke their ego, follow-up, ask questions, offer free bjs... and you'll have that SA offer.
Lol, pussinboots is absolutely correct. Pull up the alumni directory and start shooting those emails. Find alumni that have fewer people on their asses and set up informational interviews. Get them a bj afterwards and they'll hand in your resume, as simple as that. If they don't help you, offer a second bj. But after a second no, then you're fucked...
The things I'd do if I were an attractive girl trying to break into banking...
some of us, pussinboots, can actually break into Wall Street without getting on our knees ;)
So the MD stands on a desk?

Should I Study For CFA or GMAT During My Senior Year (Originally Posted: 08/10/2010)
Hello All,
Background: Approaching senior year Finance major (non-target private school) Summer analyst at a BB Interned at a BB’s branch office while at school this past year (Wealth Management)
Question: Should I spend my time this spring, studying for the GMAT or the CFA? I will only be taking part-time classes (mandarin) this spring and studying for one of the above tests and wasn’t sure which one I should devote my time to. I’m not exactly sure which side of IB interests me more…buy side/ sell side. I’m highly interested in both.
Dream job: IPO’s for Brick Nation companies
Thanks for your time and thoughts.
I would suggest neither, enjoy your senior year, you can take those tests when you actually need to.
I'll disagree and say CFA. Just my opinion-do it while your finance coursework is fresh in your mind. If you're only taking part-time classes you should have plenty of time to study.
N.B.-Strictly speaking all IB is sellside finance; they are intermediaries who "sell" investments to the "buy" side. Banks may have buyside arms such as a PWM division or an inhouse hedge fund, but that's not really what is meant by IB on WSO.
I'd also say do the CFA. There's a lot of overlap on L1 with undergrad, so the sooner you can do it the better. It won't give you a huge advantage, but if you can handle a bit more studying I say do it.
Of course you'll still have to wait 5 years until you can get your designation b/c of the 4 year work experience requirement. But hey, that will be one less year studying in the future.
yea, the CFA will be very impressive, especially taken while in undergrad. Don't waste your time, because you will just beat yourself over the head later for not utilizing your time
Study for the GMAT.
Chances are you will eventually go to Bschool, chances are you will never utilize level 1 of the CFA. You should have enough time to study, take the GMAT, restudy and retake it if you think you can do better.
Regards
Study for the CFA...
You're probably not going to go to grad school right out of undergrad anyway. You'll have plenty of time to take the GMAT later on, and Level 1 CFA could help you get a job out of undergrad. Also, as people have already said, a lot of the Level 1 material is covered in your undergrad classes, so you would be doing yourself a favor by taking Level 1 now.
FYI, I recently passed CFA Level 1.
Thanks for all the insight.
If you're taking the CFA exam, you should try using some video tutors to save you time. CFALevel1Videos.com is one of them.
And for GMAT, look into GMATPill or ManhattanG
Just enjoy last term of college.
GMAT vs CFA (Originally Posted: 11/10/2010)
Hi all,
I will be a first year analyst after graduation and now thinking about taking one of the exams: GMAT or CFA I.
For ppl in my position and those who went through it, which exam do you think is better to take first?
I am leaning towards GMAT
Thanks for advice
I am in the same position as you. I am leaning toward the GMAT because that is the last thing I want to be studying for once I start work, but I would hate to study / take the GMAT if I don't end up at business school. Are you set on b-school? In my position, I would rather not go to b-school, but come from a non-target and I am starting out at a boutique(non-elite) where I plan on lateralling out of, so I think I will need b-school to brand my resume. I guess the answer is where you see yourself after your analyst stint.
Study for the GMAT. School math and verbal is fresh in your mind and you can devote a solid couple of months to it. The score is good for 5 years so you will have plenty of time to use it.
CFA can come with time. If you already have a job L1 isnt going to help you much.
Thanks guys. That's what i was thinking.
Might want to wait until the new GMAT launches if schools start giving it more credence by the time you apply. Or maybe not.
What's the new GMAT? When is it launching and what's the difference?
New GMAT?
CFA / GMAT: timing constraints (Originally Posted: 07/28/2013)
Hey,
this thread is about the question if I should start with the CFA I this year or postpone it to next year.
My current situation is, that I started working fulltime at a MM bank. I am located in Europe (so don't try to stick too much to the "normal" path undergrad-->MBA - that's still atypical here) and finished with my undergraduate studies last year. Since then I made some internships and landed this gig.
My near/mid term target is to get into a well-known Finance program in order to climb up the ladder. The school should have a really good brand name as I am from a totally non-target university. From then on I would like to get a spot in a bigger bank at an investment banking role. Having said that, my priority is really to get into a BB, because I can see here at the MM bank that my career will be somehow limited (resp. I want more ;) ). In order to get into a good business school, I currently sit for my GMAT with which I have big problems. That means, that I am definitely not this "2week studying - getting 700+" kid. I am quite sure that it will take me several more months to get (hopefully!!) in the 650-700 range.
And there is the problem this whole thread is about. Should I sit for the CFA in december without knowing if I will successfully pass the GMAT? I think I will need 2-3 more months for the GMAT and I calculate that I have to take it at least twice. For the CFA I guess I need to study at least 3 months in order to get a good preparation (yes, I am a finance major, so I should know more or less the concepts - but still...). I know that I am not the quickest who can grasp concepts (as you can see now on my GMAT). My "way" of being successful was always to study a little more and harder than the rest. The goal to get my CFA is that I would like to be well-rounded. Yes I know, I don't have a particular job in mind which requires the CFA, but I still want to have it!
So, I really would like to know your opinion on that. I appreciate every answer :)
Very best regards, mott
Other than Equity Research the CFA really doesn't mean all that much at all in Investment Banking. You'd be much better off focusing your time solely on your GMAT and try to get in the 720-740 region as most brand name universities are incredibly hard to get into as it is, with a sub-700 GMAT it'll be even harder.
I would postpone it for the following reasons:
1) Studying for the CFA generally requires sacrifices (in and out of the office) and you should spend the first year at your bank learning as much as you can and building a great rapport with your team.
2) If your near term goal (after several years of work experience) is to attend a top b-school you should focus your time and energy on putting together the best application that you can including: a 700+ GMAT, extra-curricular / leadership roles outside the office, drafting solid essays, and building relationships with mentors who will write recommendations for your applications.
3) The CFA will not make you, as a finance guy, more well-rounded although it will provide you with a broad knowledge base (a significant portion of which will be irrelevant to an IB career). Your time may be better spent pursuing other interests/passions to the extent that your true goal is to become more well-rounded from a general b-school application and life perspective.
With that said, L1 is not that difficult (given that you were a finance major) to the extent that you are able and willing to log the necessary hours. The good thing is that if you take L1 in December you can then sit for L2 next June but say goodbye to your social life.
Best of luck to you.
How similar is studying for CFA and GMAT? (Originally Posted: 07/30/2013)
I am a rising undergrad senior, and I am considering the CFA and GMAT test in a few months. I would like to take both, and I am curious as to how similar the two tests are. If I study the CFA materials will I do okay on the GMAT and vice versa? Or is there no overlap, which means studying separately would be best.
I think my intentions are to get an MBA if I could land a top program, and go for CFA if I would only be able to get into average schools.
No. Zero similarity between either thing. Did this pop into your head over waffles this morning? A Google search could have answered this fairly quickly.
No, but obviously I am in the very prelim stages of choosing and exploring both options. All the searching I did on here and elsewhere just compares which one you should go for, not so much if there is overlap in the study process. It seemed different, just looking to see if people who actually did both found similarities. Thanks for your answer though
From what I understand, they are very different: GMAT is all about practicing a few (mostly arithmetic) skills until you can do these problems fast error-free, while CFA is about memorizing a hell lot of finance stuff.
That would be similar to comparing the Bar exam to GMAT. GMAT is just SAT 2.0; CFA is nothing at all like GMAT, GRE, or any other standardized grad level exam.
Good to know, and I appreciate all the answers. Thanks guys!
you can do well on the GMAT by using common sense. You actually need to learn a TON of info for the CFA
also, why would you want to do the CFA, if you are getting an MBA?? Seems like a waste of time for both. Just kill the GMAT
Because they are complimentary and Bschool doesn't teach you the same content as CFA will. Unless OP was referring to MSF., which usually take GRE anyways (though I'm sure they take GMAT as well)
CFA and MBA are NOT complimentary. This has been covered at length. Most positions that require the CFA do not require you to have a MBA to break in, and most positions that require MBA aren't well-served at all by the CFA designation.
Pens, go read the M&I articles on the MBA and CFA.
How aren't they complimentary? I think I wasn't being clear. They both cover different aspects of finance and are therefore respected differently by the various industries in finance. While hedge funds may be more interested in CFA, and PE/IB more in MBA, the two paired together make a more rounded candidate for the entire field. While HF may like CFA, I'm sure that they'd appreciate someone with a top MBA, and likewise with the CFA for PE.
Yea I've met PE guys with both. Even saw a guy doing business development for a PE fund with both CFA and MBA.
CFA is also completely useless unless your goal is long only am and closet indexing excites ou :p
No, I would agree. CFA has a specific, targeted purpose, and that's obviously investment management and equity research. In other professions, an MBA makes much more sense.
You can have both, but when I've seen this happen, the MBA typically made the CFA redundant.
GMAT of CFA level 1? (Originally Posted: 08/31/2014)
Hi all,
I am currently two months into a two year financial management program at a F100 insurance company and trying to decide if I should take the GMAT or CFA level one (June 2015). Ultimately looking to move into Asset Management or corporate strategy/development. The insurance company has a sizable investments division so CFA could help with a lateral move into that. Have been considering taking MBA route in a few years but if I could make the career change with just the CFA and not having to pay $150k for the MBA that would be ideal. Would love to hear your guys thoughts. Thanks!
No reason you can't prep for both. GMAT shouldn't take more than a couple months of studying. CFA Level 1 is not that difficult if you already know the basics of financial markets, valuations, and economic theory. I think ultimately CFA is more useful for Asset Management, and MBA is more useful for corporate strategy/development. Even if you pursue an MBA, having the knowledge of the broad material covered in CFA curriculum cannot really hurt. That said, you should really figure out what you want before spending the time and money on either.
I would take the CFA first, and if you think you could make the career change, no need for b-school. If not, then take the GMAT later on.
In my opinion, CFA first. I am currently working at IBD but considering of changing my job to PM/FM and studying for CFA right now.
I did GMAT first, then CFA.
I think actually did it in similar timing...I studied for GMAT from the beginning of November through the middle of January, then took that.
Afterwards I took a couple weeks off and then started studying for Level 1 in the beginning of February, which gives you more than enough prep time.
I'm still undecided on b-school, but regardless of whether I end up going or not, I am glad I took the GMAT. I went to a non-target undergrad and I believe my gmat score (which turned out pretty solid) provides a baseline indicator of aptitude. A lot of people will probably disagree with that, but for me it has just served to build credibility -- in a similar (but perhaps less impactful) manner as "CFA Level 3 Candidate - June 2015."
From a return on investment perspective, the CFA would appear to me to win out. 150k is just too big an outlay for something where the benefits are not that readily visible. But my perceptions are shaped by my experiences in the Australian finance/investments industry where people doing post-grad after attainment of our bachelors degrees are quite rare. I'd go the CFA route not knowing what tangible benefits either that or the MBA might bring given its lower cost and credibility amongst investment professionals.
Should I take the GMAT or CFA level 1 while in undergrad (Originally Posted: 11/24/2015)
I am currently a junior at a non target and have decided to either start on my CFA or to strt studying for the GMAT. I have also been working in finance for 3 years already. Which would be more valuable to get done first? I was thinking to do the GMAT soon so I could retake if I needed to.
google it! i saw this question many times. my answer is quick fire GMAT but I sure will attract the contrary.
Would having level 1 of the CFA done help get into a good MBA?
