Level 1 vs 7

[TPACFA]

So I was just notified today by my boss that I need to take the 7 and 66 for a new role I will be moving into. Can anyone who has taken each weigh in on how the FINRA tests compare to Level 1? Just want to know what I've got ahead of me and needs to be completed by the time I get my results. Thanks.

haha no even in same ball park at cfa lv1.
2 weeks studying = pass 66
3 week studying = pass 7
4 months studying = maybe pass cfa lv1

If you’re not exaggerating one way or the other, that is exactly what I wanted to hear as far as a time frame. My goal is to take L1 in 2 weeks and pass the 7 & 66 by the time I get my results back for L1 so when I do I can either start studying for L2 or L1 again. That time frame will put me just at the time I will be getting results since I’ll be taking the week of x-mas off from the books.
