Scored your CFA mock exam and moved on? That might be your biggest mistake. While knowing your total score feels important, it only tells you half the story. What truly matters is knowing why you missed questions, how long you spent on them, and whether your time was used wisely. That’s where most students fall short—and that’s exactly where MasterCFA steps in.
We don’t just show your score—we break it down smartly using our exclusive 2x2 Accuracy Matrix, designed to reveal your performance patterns and give you data-driven feedback.
What is the Accuracy Matrix?
The 2x2 accuracy Matrix on the MasterCFA app plots your answers based on two key factors:
Accuracy (Correct vs Incorrect) and Speed (Fast vs Slow). This creates four powerful performance zones:
Total Attempt
The number of questions you've tried to solve—helps you track your activity level during practice.Total Correct
Out of what you attempted, this shows how many were actually right.Too Fast Correct
You got the answer right—but were you too quick? Maybe it was instinct, or maybe a lucky guess. Use this to check if you’re rushing.Overtime Correct
These are answers you got right but took too long on. You understand the topic, but speed needs improvement.Perfect Attempt
This is the sweet spot—answered correctly and within the ideal time. Aim to increase this number.Wasted Attempt
You took time but got the answer wrong. These are your red flags. You may need concept revision.Overtime Incorrect
You spent too long and got the question wrong. This shows a mix of confusion and low efficiency. High-priority area for improvement.Unattempted
These are the questions you skipped. Tracking this helps you manage exam pacing better.
