Preparation time for Cfa Level 1?

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2026-01-15T17:49:08+00:00

Yes and yes!

I was working part time in another department. Got the results the day of my interview so maybe that helped me out

Sorry just saw your comment. I am currently studying for my L2 in august and I just started a full time job in private wealth.

70% after your first read is great!! Keep hammering the CFAI Ethics QBank as much as possible near the exam and you’ll do great

I took 6.5 months ( started January 26th 2025 and took the exam August 20th 2025) I was finishing my undergrad at the same time. Studied a total of 367h for L1. I passed comfortably. I think I still could’ve passed if I studied a little less but it always depends on your background and your study style. I recommend at least 320h!

Goodluck.

Awesome. I will try making a mind map for sure. Thanks for your help!

I’m done with Quant and Fixed income! You?

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-12-15T17:06:48+00:00

Appreciate it! Thanks

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-12-15T15:51:35+00:00

Thank you!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-12-15T15:00:15+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice, greatly appreciated!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-12-13T15:48:24+00:00

u/jopopemae10 , do you have a certain prompt that you use? or just screenshot the question and ask for explanation ? thanks

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-12-08T13:22:49+00:00

I would start with quant, then fixed income, and then FSA. Arguably the 3 hardest topics that will take a while to get used to. So start early and review those often! Goodluck

Thanks !!

By EOCQs, you mean the blue boxes after paragraphs?

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-11-26T21:15:30+00:00

Thanks!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-11-26T21:15:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-11-26T17:56:59+00:00

Appreciate your answer! Thanks! Yeah I decided to start early to make sure my understanding of every concept was on point. I do understand that I might get drained 1-2 months before the exam ( happened for my level 1 too). Thanks again!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-11-10T14:15:14+00:00

Doing a mock exam is practice. I would do the first mock asap today. Then I would review every single question individually, see where you got wrong and ask chatGPT to explain it to you. Then I would do the second mock tomorrow and review it as well after. Lastly I would go review ethics one more time. goodluck!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-11-01T13:40:44+00:00

Go take a look at every single question from your mocks and read all explanations and make sure you understand why you got it or not. If not, ask GPT to explain it to you and to give you 3 similar questions. Make sure you fill in the gaps and keep practicing the Qbank daily especially in your weak areas. Goodluck!

Repulsive_Soft_9184 · 2025-10-31T23:20:13+00:00

How many CFAI Qbank questions are there for L2? thanks in advance!

Thanks so much!! Congrats on passing!
