First, it seems more difficult to add the subject 3 "Basic Knowledge of Private Equity Investment Fund", but it is actually easier.

Asset management association of china will add the basic knowledge examination of private equity funds in subject 3 in September, 20 16, and release the main points of the basic knowledge examination of private equity funds (including venture capital funds) in subject 3 in mid-August. For this, at first glance, I think it is more difficult, but it is not. Because people who take the exam have passed the exams of subject 1 and subject 2, or passed the exams of subject 1 and subject 3, they can apply for the qualification of registered fund. In other words, candidates have to get the qualification certificate of registered fund, which increases the selectivity and naturally reduces the difficulty.

Second, subject one expanded the scope of investigation and paid more attention to the understanding and application of knowledge.

Compared with the previous examination syllabus, some contents are more demanding and more difficult; Some content requirements are reduced, and the difficulty is reduced. It is difficult to reflect: ① The contents that were not originally required appear in the new syllabus, mostly by mastering knowledge points; (2) The original requirement of knowing or understanding has risen to the requirement of mastering; (3) originally asked to understand, rose to master the requirements. Changes: ① What was originally needed to be known and understood is no longer needed, which means that the investigation of some contents will be reduced; (2) What was originally needed to be mastered now only needs to be understood; (3) What was originally understood only needs to be known now.

Generally speaking, it is more difficult. Candidates need to quickly free up more knowledge, memory, understanding and mastery, and the scope is wider; Moreover, the requirements for many test sites are higher, and the examination pays more attention to the understanding and application of a lot of creative knowledge, not just simple understanding and memory. This requires candidates not only to browse the general content, but also to study hard, truly understand what they have learned, and use it flexibly in order to answer better.
