Explanation of Calculations
The CFA Estimator Calculator uses the following factors to estimate your readiness:
- Average Studying Hours per Week: More studying hours generally improve your chances.
- Number of Weeks until Exam: More time to prepare can increase your chances.
- Expected Pass Rate: This is your self-assessment of your probability of passing the exam.

The calculator multiplies your average studying hours by the number of weeks left until the exam, then adjusts this for your expected pass rate and the completion of study materials to give a final estimate.
