Hi everyone,
Is anyone preparing for CFA L1?

I want to know if there is any alternative of the official books, and how do you plan the preparation?

If anyone can help out, please dm.
Cheers!

Study from Schweser notes.

On CFA preparation, from exam perspective it's not that much hard as we think. If we have good knowledge of all areas that is enough.

On my preparation, I did a complete reading of schweser notes 20 days before exam. After that I started practicing questions. Did end of chapter questions from curriculum and some questions from CFA website. Since I prepared alongside work, I was able to give mock only on last week.

For ethics, practice as much questions as possible as it has more weightage and key to clear.

With decent preparation, we can confidently give exams. If possible find Secret sauce from Schweser which is super helpful for the revision before exam
