Okay, so I paid a ridiculously high amount of money to register for the exams in June and bought all the required readings. Now, I know this questions surrounding this topic are the most common in this forum, but I haven't found a particular answer to the following: If I just study the CFA I Curriculum Material from beginning to end, is there any reason to buy any of the additional study notes? |

I would at least get the AN's online package for the Qbank. The online web course /seminar is not for me. I rather set my own pace to study. cornhlio |

I passed level 1 with greater than 70% in every category and never once opened a single CFA book. In fact, there were only 2 questions on the entire test that I didn't know. I used AN only for studying, and I did every single question on this site twice. Then I bought a year old Schweser exam book. It contains 6 practice exams and explanations for each problem at the end. I took 2 practice tests per week for the 6 weeks leading up to the exam, one from Schweser and one from AN each week. If you are like me and can't stand reading the books, try my approach! I was extremely well prepared and walked out of the test knowing I passed. Good luck! |

I thought that reading the required readings and doing practice exams was sufficient but that was not so and I have to re do the exam again. I am registered with an online trainer now so that I will get into the exam passing strategy. Ihave read the texts and understand the subject what I lack is the strategy of focussing on key points it calls for athorough understanding of the subject matter and knowing it from all angles because the questions requires thorough understanding |

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
