This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The CDA exam consists of 65 scenario-based multiple-choice questions with a 105-minute time limit. - Success depends on choosing the "best," most developmentally appropriate answer, not just a factually correct one. - Master time management by allocating roughly 90 seconds per question and using the 'flag' feature for difficult items. - A common exam trap is choosing a punitive or overly directive answer instead of one that guides child-led problem-solving. - The exam uses a scaled scoring system where a score of 70 is the target for passing, which accounts for variations in exam difficulty.
