Novus Learning

Novus Learning CFA®, CPA®, GMAT®, LSAT®, GRE®, SAT®, ACT®, TOEFL®, and PMP® Professional Exam Preparation Flexible Study Modules

Students come from different backgrounds.

There are three features that we believe distinguish Novus Learning from other exam preparation companies:

Highly Qualified Instructors

We feel that teaching excellence is the key to student success. We ensure that our Instructors are the very best in a number of ways:
All Instructors have graduated with honors from top MBA programs in the country. They also must have prior teaching experience i

n order to be considered. All Instructors must undergo a rigorous audition process to be extended an offer. After that, they undergo a 3-month training process before being allowed to see students. In order to attract and retain the best teachers, we pay an above-average base salary, plus a performance-based annual bonus. So, your evaluation of the instructor at the end of a course affects their compensation. You can read more about our Instructors by visiting our Instructors page or Testimonials page. At Novus Learning we believe in providing full flexibility for our students. Novus Learning is the only prep company that allows you to build your own CFA study program by combining a group class with one-on-one tutoring that is tailored to your specific needs. Because the CFA curriculum is so broad and diverse, many candidates find that they already have some knowledge or work experience in some areas, while requiring extra help in other areas of the curriculum. See CFA Course Schedules and CFA Private Tutoring. Content-Based Curriculum

We believe that the best curriculum should provide students with fundamental knowledge of the subject, be it Quantitative Methods, Financial Statement Analysis, or Project Management. We strive to re-teach students the underlying concepts, not just review them, since many students may have never studied them before. Other test prep companies on the market focus on teachable methods, such as "process of elimination" and "backsolving" techniques. While we also make use of these test-taking techniques, we put our main emphasis on providing test takers of all levels with content mastery and an organized approach that builds skills for every question type on the exam, including the most advanced content that most other prep companies ignore.

What is the best way to improve your SAT Reading score?

I find that most students lose points on the Reading section because of the test's challenging vocabulary. As you go through the practice tests, if you find that you are not familiar with many of the words, take the time to write them out on separate flash cards.

Then, look them up in the dictionary and write the definitions on the flip side. You can also buy pre-made SAT vocabulary flash cards. Whether you make them or buy them, test your memory with flash cards for about 20 minutes a day.

What is the IMC exam and do we tutor it?

IMC is the Investment Management Certificate. It is a mini version of the CFA charter offered by the CFA Society of the United Kingdom. Many UK financial industry employers require it. After the IMC, many candidates continue to study for the CFA.

And yes, Novus Learning will absolutely help you study for your IMC exam. We know you are busy with your job and do not have a lot of time to study. Let a seasoned financial industry professional guide you to passing your IMC exam.

What should be your target score when you practice for your CFA exam? I recommend aiming for 80% when you do concept checkers at the end of each reading, when the material is still fresh in your mind. If you cannot get 80%, you should re-read the material and review the examples in the text.

When you do full-length practice exams after you do all the readings, I recommend aiming for at least 70%. It is true that you can still pass the exam even if you score in the 50-70% band on some of the sections, but I would not count on it: keep practicing until you get at least 70% consistently!

Should you take the LSAT exam in October or in December? I suggest that you do not put it off - take it in October.

That way, if you are not satisfied with your LSAT score, you can learn from the October exam experience, study for two more months, and re-take the exam in December.

Many LSAT students ask: to how many law schools should I apply? Some assume that they should apply only to the school they most want to attend, or to the school that is likely to pay for a "full ride."

In my opinion, getting into law school is a numbers game. LSAC lets you send your LSAT score to ten law schools for no extra charge, so apply to ten!

If you score high, the application fees will be waived. But even if you have to pay ten application fees, it will ultimately pay off because it will maximize your chances of being accepted and, if you get into several schools, will give you an opportunity to compare several financial aid packages and select the best deal.
