I got 2021 CFA level 1 materials from Kaplan last year. Am I okay using that to study if I plan on taking the test in February, or do I have to plan on buying new materials again?

The curriculum changes every year. I don’t know exactly what changes but there will likely be both material missing from those books and material they no longer require you to know.

They put all these “changes” out every year but 95% of the exam has stayed the same over the years. It’s a money grab from Kaplan and test prep providers. You can find practice exams from 20 years ago that are still relevant and just as helpful for studying
