One of these actions is the postponement of the June 2020 CFA Exam.

While the CFA Institute has yet to confirm an exact date for the exams, December 2020 is the earliest possible opportunity.

Those who aspire to become CFA® charterholders must pass three levels of the exam. The first level involves 240 multiple-choice questions. All three levels are split into morning and afternoon sessions, both three hours long. The December 2020 exam is set to be the last paper-based exam for Level I candidates as all further exams will be administered online.
