How to Pass the CFA Level 1 Exam *2023* (90th Percentile)

[@Joe-hz5ob]

Hi, I’m at 2 month before my exam and the focus on LOS it’s so true !!! Thanks

[@saurabhgodse4938]

Can you please kindly share how to make an study plan...like how to plan for the study session,in one week how much portion should be completed and with how much reading etc... basically eloborate your study plan..so we can modify it according to our preference and prepare well for the exam...and can you please share it as early as possible... thanks..

You can start with min 1:39. You’ll see there that I started 26 weeks before, which I’d recommend. Then from there just aim to do 3 readings a week, and you’ll have a measure of when you need to pick it up (when behind) or can feel good because you’re ahead. Like I said, just start with reading 1 (quants) and go from there. But if it’s a little too hard to start, then you can start with a simpler topic like Corporate Issuers and then go back to quant. The first few weeks is all about building the study habit so don’t waste too much time planning - the best is just to start! Best of luck!

@@talk2see there are 10 "readings" on the cfa test. even if you take a look at the stubsections per reading, it equates to over 80. im confused as to why you have 60 on your sheet.

[@talk2see]

@ the CFAI changed the curriculum and now breaks it down in more readings, but the material is pretty similar

[@purpleblush7106]

hey thanks for the vid very insightful. just wanted some clarification. what do you mean by reading? individual learning modules?

[@Jorge-gg3wj]

Yes, they call them readings on the curriculum

[@TheKomalKhan]

Can you please share the timetable if 10 weeks are left

Hey did you pass ?? Any tips pls

[@sabazehrananji3406]

Hey The video was quite helpful. How to get free qbanks? Also Im in my last year of uni. I have two options, either FEB 2025 or Aug 2025. Which one would be preferred, keeping in mind that my uni will end in May so Feb would be a bit tough. What I heard from a CFA is that AUG 2025 will be too late. Im really confused. Pls help me out.

I have a question about schweser and CFA books, i habe pdfs of both 5 pdf of schweser and 7 of CFA so what you do advice me because i want to do the exam in November and study both CFA and schweser?

[@AnComChua10]

Do you have any recommendations for which Kaplan package to purchase? There's the basic, essential and premium package for cfa 1.

[@talk2see]

You need the books and Q bank, so I believe it’s the most basic one! All the other things are good but not super useful. Additional help you can find online for free or small additional amounts

[@Alpha-kv3ou]

Hey man, are EOCs and 2 mock tests enough for practice?

[@4chinesekhanwin]

For the “calculate” word, if the reading tittle does not show “calculate” (maybe show “identify”), it means that no need to memorise the formula? Am I right?

[@talk2see]

That is correct yes. You also get a great sense of your needs based on the questions. Once you do a few of them around that LOS you’ll determine if you need to memorize the formula or not

[@OscarNicole82]

The CFA is frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so hard

[@NathanWilliams-sq4nc]

I was lucky to meet Mr. Richard only God knows I wouldn't have succeeded without him, his materials are amazing.

[@Garcia-y7z]

I'm not here to converse with him but to share my testimony for what I confirmed, he's trustworthy and the best option ever seen, thanks Richard God bless you

[@KenanGrace-wx5hw]

A friend of mine whom I referred to as Richard just passed after 10 days of working with him.
