Updated 2025 L1 materials are now posted I'll share exactly what I did to pass the CFA Level 1 Exam on the first attempt and will teach YOU how to pass the CFA Level 1 Exam. I took Level 1 in August 2021 and scored well above the 90th percentile (possibly even over the 95th percentile).

I'll teach you how to study for the CFA Level 1 test and share all my tips, strategies, and methods to improve your chances of passing.

I created a system that will help you plan and study effectively while reducing wasted time. The key component to this system is the CFA Revision Spreadsheet, which uses spaced repetition to optimally schedule when you study each lesson.

Other tools used in the system include:
3rd party CFA test prep provider (I used Kaplan Schweser)
Anki
Notion
CFA Institute textbooks and platform
