it is not hard.
If you have a basic understanding on finance, here is the 10 steps to pass level 1:

1. Read Ethics
2. Learn how to use the calculator efficiently
3. Do 3000+ questions once
4. READ THROUGH the 3000+ questions (including the ones that you got right)
5. Do them again
6. understand those you got wrong the second time
7. Do them again
8. Enough sleep the night before (8-10hrs)
9. Go to the Exam on time
10. YOU'LL PASS

However, you will learn nothing from level 1.

Yep, Level I is a volume game... Just put in enough hours and you can pass. Good luck!

Hey, I've withdrawn from the June 2014 examination. Does anyone know if the textbook for June 2014 is still usable for exam prep in June 2015?

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
