Prepare to Pass CFA Level I with a Step-by-Step Study Solution
Looking for an all-in-one exam prep package? Level I of the CFA® exam tests 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. But, don’t let this fool you. The historical pass rates for the Level I exam are the lowest of all three levels with only 41% of candidates passing.
Our packages guide you through the entire process with learning options that adapt to your schedule, style, and budget. Plus, you’ll get access to an exclusive community forum with added insight from fellow candidates. Choose one of Kaplan Schweser’s industry-leading study packages below or compare your package options.
