About Level I of the CFA® Exam
The level I exam has 180 multiple-choice questions split between two 2-hour-and-15-minute sessions:
- Session 1 (morning): 90 questions, covering all topics
- Session 2 (afternoon): 90 questions, covering all topics
Both sessions must be attended.
Level I of the CFA exam is focused on acquiring basic knowledge on a wide range of financial issues. There are 10 topics categorized into 4 modules. These include ethics and professional standards, investment tools, asset classes and portfolio management and wealth planning. Each topic has several learning outcome statements (LOSs) – equivalent to objectives – around which the exam is concentrated.
Each question is accompanied by 3 unique choices: A, B, and C. To make sure you attempt all questions, you should spend no more than 90 seconds (1.5 min) on each question.
Financial Reporting, Ethics, and Quantitative Analysis make up about 40% of the exam. If a candidate scores well in these topics, chances of success are quite high. However, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of covering every other topic. It’s the best way to prepare not just for the exam but also for levels II and III and your professional career itself.
Topic | Percentage (%) | |
1 | Ethical and Professional Standards | 15-20 |
2 | Quantitative Methods | 8-12 |
3 | Economics | 8-12 |
4 | Financial Reporting and Analysis | 13-17 |
5 | Corporate Finance | 8-12 |
6 | Equity Investments | 10-12 |
7 | Fixed Income | 10-12 |
8 | Derivative Investments | 5-8 |
9 | Alternative Investments | 5-8 |
10 | Portfolio Management | 5-8 |
