Schweser study packages contain everything you need to effectively prepare for the CFA® Level I exam. The first exam in the CFA® Program tests your knowledge of investment tools and ethical and professional standards. The curriculum focuses on recalling formulas and definitions from memory, and most of the material is a straightforward introduction to the concepts covered. Despite this, the historical average pass rates for the CFA Level I exam are the lowest of all three levels, with only 41% of candidates passing.
Schweser’s CFA Level I exam prep study packages all include guidance from CFA experts in online Masterclasses and the candidate-favorite SchweserNotes™. You also get exclusive access to our Kaplan Schweser Community forum with added insights from instructors and fellow candidates.
