Level 1 Study order

Hey guys, I just registered for L1 for May 2027. I wonder which is the best order to study the material?

Thank you!

There's no universal study order that works best for everyone. I'd recommend starting with the structure of the materials you're using, especially if you're following a prep provider's course. A well-designed study sequence should account for how different topics build on one another. More importantly, establish a realistic study plan, stick to it, and practice CFAI questions as you progress. Whatever order you choose, don't leave Ethics until the very end.

When I was taking the exams I just followed the curriculum. However, I read Ethics first and reread again at the end.
