I signed up in May, finished Ethics, quant, and Econ. Then work got in the way and couldn’t study for 2.5 months. Just getting back into it now. I have a good grasp of finance. I’m studying from the CFA books only. I plan to skim through the chapters and do all the end of chapter questions. focus most of my time on questions instead of reading content. I’m on reading 25.
Can I please get some feedback on what would be a good study plan to make sure I can pass level 1 on Dec 7th?
Thank you.
Because you have an undergrad in finance you may still be okay, but you will have to work hard.
Master the accounting book.
Derivatives, equity and fixed income should be a reveiw.
If you have access to Schweser notes I would suggest to read those instead. It’s better to read the Schweser notes than to skim CFAI books. I don’t think skimming would be enough to understand the material. You want to cover everything and leave nothing to chance.
Last 4 weeks should be devoted to revision, answering EOC questions, practice exams and mocks. Also memorize all the formulae.
Level I exam is relatively easy but preparation is somewhat challenging.
Best of luck!
