Passing Level I feels great until about five minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s usually when the next question shows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s the plan for Level II?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve already started looking at exam dates, there’s something important to know. November 2026 isn’t on the table. The next realistic target is CFA Level 2 May 2027 and that’s actually good news. Instead of trying to cram Level II into a short window, you have roughly eight months to prepare properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer may surprise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you passed Level I in August 2026, you cannot sit for CFA Level II in November 2026. The registration window closed before Level I results were released and CFA Institute<\/a> does not allow candidates to register for the next level while they are still waiting for results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The good news?<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s not a setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your next realistic target is CFA Level 2 May 2027, which gives you roughly eight months to prepare. Instead of squeezing Level II into a frantic ten-week sprint, you can build a study plan that is sustainable, thorough and far more likely to lead to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s talk about how to use that time wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
