Study plan for the CFA® Program Level I

Set your exam date and weekly time; the plan spreads the ten topic areas over the weeks before the exam.

Topic order

The plan starts with an introduction to Ethics, then Quantitative Methods and Financial Statement Analysis, and brings Ethics back before the exam. You can change the order.

Spaced review

A learning outcome you get wrong comes back the next day, then after 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days while you keep answering correctly.

Final weeks

The last weeks focus on full practice exams and the learning outcomes with the most mistakes.
