Can the CFA exam be extended, and how long is the CFA exam valid for

Under normal circumstances, the CFA Association stipulates that the CFA exam cannot be postponed. However, if the test taker has to postpone the test due to force majeure factors, the postponement of the test is allowed.

There are four reasons for deferring an examination recognized by the CFA Association:1. Write a certificate of hospitalization to the attending doctor and sign and scan it to the official;

2. If the family member is hospitalized and mainly accompanies the bed, the attending physician must issue a certificate and sign it;

3. Family death certificate;

4. Force majeure factors.

If the above 4 conditions are met, candidates need to write down the situation in detail and provide relevant supporting documents to send to the CFA association's mailbox, and the CFA association will prove that the deferred examination is successful after the CFA association has passed the review.

There is no urgent time limit for applying for a postponement or deferment of the CFA exam, but the sooner the better, especially if you want to apply before the CFA Association announces the candidate's admission ticket. If the candidate is unable to take the registered and paid exam due to personal special reasons, he or she can apply to the CFA Association for an extension of the exam to the next exam.

In principle, the CFA Association will accept and approve the application individually according to the actual situation of the candidate, and the reason for the application is limited to the serious illness of the candidate or his immediate family members, natural disasters and other events that directly threaten the life and safety, such as giving birth to a child, self-surgery or need to recuperate, family surgery, etc., and must be certified by the attending doctor; Or, natural disasters such as fires. If you do not want to take the current exam due to insufficient preparation for your own exam, the association will definitely not agree to this application.
