Good luck! Lvl 1 material is relatively formula heavy and even though most of the curriculum overlaps with the CFA material, try to focus on the “new/different” stuff that is in there

Thank you! It doesn’t seem extremely difficult but there is much less of a community out there so it’s hard to get a feel for how it will be.

Weirdly enough Reddit helped me a bit. I agree that practicing on the outliers/new stuff is your best bet. And focus on technique not all memorization. Do practice questions over taking loads of notes.

Did you buy any additional practice questions ? I have Wiley and I feel like there isn’t enough haha

Also, do you think it’s too late to ask if I can visit the unit before I make my decision? Thanks in advance.
