Correct no of questions to pass level 1 and others

[versatile]

Hi,
I need insights on a few points
1) What % of questions should one ideally get correct to pass the CFA level 1 exam ? I mean if i know this i can decide how much time should i allocate to each section once i reach a certain % proficiency in the said section
2) Is kaplan notes enough to pass the exam ?
3) any other approach to primarily read from kaplan and not to miss the content of main book ?
4) Any other ready made resources (formulas,tables etc) ?
Thanks very much for your time to read and reply

You’re not alone in that respect.

Nobody knows: CFA Institute doesn’t publish the minimum passing score.
Anecdotally, 70%. I’d shoot for higher, if possible.

Many have passed using only the Kaplan Schweser notes, including yours truly.

You should work the problems in the CFA Institute books. If you have trouble with those, read that material in the CFA Institute book.
I recommend reading CFA Institute’s Ethics.

Khan Academy is good. Also, look at the tutoring services under prep providers here.
