Keir’s materials for the individual CFP® course curriculum will simplify the study process as each chapter includes a detailed summary review of the important principles and concepts followed by numerous multiple choice questions including detailed answers. For students who prefer to answer questions on a computer, Keir also offers the same multiple choice questions for each chapter in an online version or CD format.
Our books provide a student with the essential elements needed for passing a college examination. How a student uses our books will depend on the student’s prior level of knowledge. Many will speed-read this book and then score adequately when answering the review multiple choice questions. Others will read more slowly, and for some people a second or third reading may be necessary. The essential substance is all there. The student can set his or her own pace for the journey.
The use of chapter paragraph numbers is designed to assist the student in working through the practice questions at the end of each chapter. Paragraph numbers at the end of each question refer the student to the place in the chapter where the answer to the multiple choice question can be found. These paragraph references may be helpful when the student is not sure of the answer or would like additional detail. However, in most cases, the “Answers and Rationales” provided give adequate information concerning each multiple choice question, so referring to the chapter may be necessary only for more in-depth treatment of the subject matter.
If a student does not score a 75 percent or higher for a particular assignment, the student probably has not mastered the materials in accordance with the examination standards. A grade of less than 75 percent would suggest the student should, as a minimum, review the detailed answers for every question missed and the related paragraphs in the chapter. Students who need to review the concepts in more detail may want to refer to the primary textbook for the course.
In the preparation of these multiple choice questions, Keir made no attempt to anticipate specific cases or questions that are likely to appear on the final examination for a college course. No one can outguess the class professor. What we have attempted to do is select questions that test a student’s understanding of important concepts presented in the study materials. Students will find these questions cover the material in an exceedingly thorough manner.
