Verb (abbreviation of verb) CFA exam difficulty
CFA Level 1 exam is relatively simple. Students with economic or financial background or students majoring in financial management can pass the exam by reading Schweser Note (depending on personal circumstances). If you are a non-professional student, you'd better sign up for relevant training courses.
CFA Level 2 exam is not very difficult either. From the teaching materials, we should be able to grasp the key points through Schweser Note, improve our financial knowledge reserve by reading Ross's classic corporate finance teaching materials and Hull's options futures and other derivatives, and then do more questions.
CFA Level 3 exam is relatively difficult, so you need to find the necessary knowledge in books, not only to start reading new financial hotspots, but also to read financial papers and practical cases frequently.
