How to Pass CFA Level 1 Exam

How to pass CFA ? Kiss goodbye to your social life thats how

Great video Ryan!, I currently work full time with lots of overtime. I want the pdf version, so do i have to buy the premium package?

Did the Basic Package (February 2024) from Kaplan Schweser change because it does not say that it includes the SchweserNotes only the Essential Package comes with the SchweserNotes.

Thanks Ryan!

Are all the readings as difficult and long as quant?

Can you provide similar guidance for FRM

Hi Ryan, do you tutor or know a good tutor for CFA, L-1? Thank you!

Working through as many practice problems as possible is absolutely key.

Even if you learn the content from prep providers, come back and do all the end of chapter questions in the CFA books

Hey great video I wanted to know if I have to have a bachelor's to do the CFA certificate or I can just do the test

Very insightful video. Does it matter where I obtain my work experience in order to begin the CFA exams. this could be in bank or outside is a normal finance space?

I don't have a finance background (have CPA) but I want to transition into corporate finance. Would you suggest doing CFA or MFin from a top Canadian school?

I have been using CFA curriculum textbooks to prepare for my local university Msc Finance program and it is very useful even the master program is not as prestigious as CFA which is internationally recognized.

Thank you Ryan, very informative and straight to the point video. I have watched this twice and wrote done all your valuable notes. Thanks again

Great info! but holy crap I was be super anxious only finishing the material, even 1 month before the exam; and maybe I'm just a slow learner but I'm 6mos out and I've already done like 1,500 practice questions and I'm going to do 2-3x more before exam day haha

is using kaplan schweser notes enough? or i need mark meldrum videos too?
Talking about CFA level1.
Appreciate your work!

Just started the process. Very helpful info

Do you think that only going through preparation videos of Mark Meldrum is efficient to pass the exam? I mean not studying through books at all.. Does videos cover the whole curriculum eficiently?
Thanks

Thanks for the tips! what do you think of Salt Solutions ?

Thank you so much for your video , i like the content.

Thank you ! :)

Great video and thanks Ryan. Would your advice for reading the full curriculum (vs not) change for someone with zero finance background?

I have a commerce degree and minor in finance, is it too late to study for a November level 1 exam?

Thanks for providing such practical and useful advices !!!

Thankyou ryan ❤️

Thank you for the video! I am planning to register for the Feb 2022 exams, how long do you think one should get prepared to write level 1?

While the institutes book is 3 times as long, they also provide alot of other resources for candidates. They have games, flash cards, user made study guides, and forums where you can discuss topics with other people who are studying and create study groups. They also have mock exams created by the institute for people to take.
Great video thanks for the tips!

Great job

i enjoyed ur video ! 🤓 my exam is on august i hope im gon pass

Very informative video, can you please tell that should I go through scheweser notes first or watch mark videos first?

Instead of Schweser for all prep I will take your advice and just buy their basic package. I already enjoy MM's videos so I will not spend the extra for the Schweser videos.

Great tips, keep up the good work.

Hi Ryan,
Do we get a formula sheet in exams?

love the tip on deleting social media apps. its one you dont hear often. ive done this since college when i would delete social media for 2 weeks to prep for finals. Great video!
