How to Crack CFA Level One (I)

It should come as no surprise that the only way you can get through the CFA exams successfully is to practice. When you practice you become familiar with what the exam paper will be like, it will also help you speed up and manage your timings. Practicing old exam papers can also prepare you for what to expect and the levels of difficulty.

Being fast is essential as you have to answer 120 questions in 3 hours for CFA Level 1, summing up to an average of 40 questions per hour. Completing each question with the allotted time helps keep you out of risk of not being able to complete the paper.

CFA study materials and guides come with exercises at the end of each chapter, but those are not sufficient for successfully coming through in the CFA Level 1 exams.

AnalystPrep on the other hand offers vast options when it comes to practicing for CFA Level 1 exams. Their packages include free package, premium package and coach package.



 The free package includes 150 practice questions, video lessons and performance tracking. You can keep track of your performance through your dashboard individually and compare it to others subject wise.

As any other free package this package is also limited, it comprises of only 150 questions which is not enough to meet your practice needs. If you want the real deal sign up for the AnalystPrep premium package, it will totally be worth your money. Along with all that the free package includes the AnalystPrep premium package comprises of 3000+ practice questions, 4 mock exams and unlimited customizable quizzes. The package also includes study notes and formula sheets. The premium package costs $129.

The Coach package offers everything the premium package does with 5 hours of 1 on 1 coaching and a personal study plan. This package retails for $599. This may not be value for money as 5 hours of 1 on 1 is just not sufficient for coming through the CFA Level 1 exam.
