WMCP study plan

Map Domain 3 into a one-page outline of its major planning areas and rank each area by how much room it deserves in your study calendar

Define 30 core strategic wealth management terms in your own words with the textbook closed, then correct each definition against the source

Work 25 practice questions on wealth transfer and estate planning fundamentals, and log the underlying rule behind every miss

Draft a one-page client discovery checklist you would actually use to surface wealth transfer goals in a first meeting

Solve 8 short case vignettes on business succession, charitable giving, and concentrated stock positions, writing your recommendation before reading any explanation

Compare the tax and liquidity tradeoffs of at least four wealth transfer techniques and summarize each in a three-line comparison

Build a one-page decision tree that starts from a client fact pattern and ends at a recommended strategy category

Re-work every question missed in Week 1 and confirm you can explain the miss out loud without notes

Rebuild the core risk-and-return relationships of portfolio theory from memory on a blank sheet, then repair the gaps from the text

Calculate expected return, standard deviation, and correlation for at least five two-asset combinations and identify which ones sit on the efficient frontier

Work 30 practice questions on asset allocation and diversification, tagging each miss by concept rather than by question number

Explain in writing why diversification reduces risk without proportionally reducing expected return, in five sentences a client could follow

Construct three model portfolios for three stated client objectives and justify each allocation in writing against the objective rather than against recent performance

Evaluate rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting, and asset location rules, and write a one-paragraph rule statement for each

Score 70% or better on a 40-question timed block covering Domains 2 and 3 combined

Rewrite every missed concept from that block as a flashcard with a rule on the front and an example on the back

Sequence the goal-based planning process into an ordered checklist and state the output of each step

Solve 20 time-value-of-money and goal-funding calculations by hand, checking each against a financial calculator or spreadsheet

Convert five hypothetical client fact patterns into quantified, time-stamped goals with a funding gap for each

Work 30 practice questions on client discovery, data gathering, and plan monitoring, logging every miss with the rule it tested

Complete four integrated cases that begin with a client discovery interview and end with a written wealth transfer recommendation

Audit your own cases against a rubric you write covering fact accuracy, internal consistency, and whether the recommendation follows from the stated goals

Identify the three places where Domain 1 discovery inputs most directly drive Domain 3 strategy choices and write a short note on each

Re-test every flashcard created in Weeks 1 through 5 and retire only the ones you answer correctly twice

Complete 120 cumulative practice questions across all three domains under a per-question time limit

Rank your weak areas by miss rate and rebuild the two weakest from source material rather than from explanations

Write a 15-line summary sheet per domain that you could read in the final 48 hours before the exam

Rehearse explaining each summary line out loud to confirm the recall is active, not recognition-based

Sit two full-length timed mock exams under exam-day conditions with no notes and no pauses

Review every missed and guessed question and classify each as a knowledge gap, a misread, or a reasoning error

Re-drill only the knowledge-gap items, and for misreads write the specific reading habit that prevents the error

Confirm exam-day logistics and run one final pass through the three domain summary sheets
