3 month study plan for the CFA level I

Hi john6401
Do you have a finance and economic background ? If so, you probably know half of the curriculum already.
It is important that you practice as much questions as possible. Level 1 is pretty much about practsising questions one could pass the exam without understanding anything.
Do as much questions as possible and concentrate on the chapters you have no prior knowledge like ethics ?
Most of the people who passed the Cfa exam did it because they had the right method.
It is also important that you leave 2 to 3 weeks to do a recap and practise mock exams. One usually need several weeks to grasp the concepts.
Where are you based ?
 
Thanks for your answer,
Yes I am in my last semester of undergrad. majoring in finance, so I have pretty much covered everything in class, except the ethics, I understand all the concepts from the CFA level I curriculum but the massive amount of content to remember for the exam makes this test difficult , I will have a 2 weeks break before the CFA exam so I will do as much mock tests as I can, as you said I will practice ethics as much as I can too, I have already studied the ethics book and schweser notes, and I am practicing a lot on the Schweser apps for ethics.
I am french but based in Bangkok.
 
You should have no problem, expecially if you’ll have a 2-week break before the exam. I have to agree with jkahil, practice problems are pretty important for level 1 and you should practice a lot and not just in the review phase - after each volume, or every two volumes would be best, whatever suits you.
I used TimePrep iOS app for organizing my schedule, it is really great, something like this plan but waay more specific - based on your inputs (time and learning strategy wishes), it creates a learning schedule for everyday and follows your studying, tracks progress etc. You should check it out if you have an iDevice ;)
