Focused Curriculum

Level I Our research indicates that most Level I candidates have already mastered many introductory financial concepts as part of their university studies or early career role. To avoid duplication and to streamline Level I curriculum content, we have moved some of this content and will provide it separately as reference material for registered candidates. The content that has been moved to pre-read, topics such as time-value of money, basic statistics, microeconomics and introduction to company accounts, are essential building blocks for later learnings. Our research indicates that 9 out of 10 candidates do not need to review this material. By not directly assessing these topic areas, we free up more time in the exam for more advanced practice concepts and more time for the new practical skills modules. Candidates who have not had exposure to this content, or who simply wish to review materials during their study of the CFA Level I curriculum, may access this content as companion pre-read materials at no additional charge. Registered candidates may also use these materials to get a sense of gaps in their knowledge and assess their readiness for the Program. All candidates who sit for exams in 2024 and beyond will be tested on the updated Level I curriculum. Detailed information on what has changed by level can be found on the CFA Institute website when registration opens in May. Questions & Answers • Why did you remove content from the Level I exam?
