I am wondering for those who passed level 1, how many hours did you spend? Do you have finance background or not? |

I have a Finance background and a fair understanding of Macro Economics. I studied for almost 350 hrs. Anyway I did more than what is needed perhaps! |

Am I a complete outlier here - I logged about 60 hrs here at analystnotes and passed - surely not everyone studied as much as is being indicated here. |

TO those of you who passed: Is the material covered in the CFA consistently finance and macro economics? Or does it vary from year to year? |

I studied loads and failed. I got good marks on my worst subjects and failed on my best ones. |

To those of u who passed: what is the main covered of LV 1.and what is the common age to pass it?is most of u just graduation? |

I passed with greater than 70% in every category, but I studied about 800 hours. I can easily admit that this was probably overkill, but it was nice to walk out of the test and know for a fact that I passed. I used analyst notes the most, but also took every practice test I could get my hands on (about 15). Good luck to everyone, and just know that Level I is really just a volume game - put in enough hours and you will pass! Good luck! |

I estimate 200 and passed, all analystnotes |

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.
