This page is designed to provide you with an overview of our Pre-Read Program, an essential resource for those who are planning to take the CFA Level I examination.

What Is The Pre-Read CFA Program Exam Preparation Course?

The Pre-Read is a foundational course that introduces candidates to the basic CFA curriculum concepts needed to participate in the preparation for the CFA Level I exam.

Originally the pre-read material was part of the CFA Level I tested curriculum, however due to the growing volume of the study content, CFA Institute divided the study material into basic-must pre-requisite content that makes up the “Pre-read” and advanced financial concepts that make up the CFA Level I curriculum.

The pre-read study material is a must know for candidates attempting to take the CFA Level I exam as the concepts are the basic building blocks needed to understand the advanced material in the CFA Level I course.

The pre-read course helps students refresh introductory concepts of the three major topics of the CFA exam, such as quantitative methods, economics and financial reporting and analysis.

Why Is the Pre-Read Course Important?

The Pre-Read course is an important resource for candidates who are planning to take the CFA Level 1 exam. It reviews and refreshes must-know concepts that would be needed to understand advanced material contained within the CFA curriculum.

The Pre-Read course is ideal for candidates who

  1. Have little to no background in financial reporting, economics and statistics,
  2. Have had a long gap in studies and would like to refresh their basics
  3. Are having difficulties grasping CFA Level 1 curriculum study material.
  4. Need additional help to strengthen their, accounting, economics and mathematical concepts.

Thus the Pre-Read course is a critical component of the CFA curriculum.

How To Make the Most of the Pre-Read Course?:

To get the most out of the Pre-Read course, candidates should read the study material and attend classes or watch the recorded videos thoroughly and take notes as they go.

The Pre-Read course should be either taken prior to commencing the study for the CFA Level I curriculum OR taken in parts just before the relevant topic areas (Quantitative Methods, Financial Reporting, Economics) are being covered during Level I exam study.

Candidates should take the time to work through each section of the pre-read program as these concepts build the foundation for deeper learning and analysis during the Level I study.

Alternatively, candidates can use the Pre-Read Course as a starting point for further study and exploration of the CFA Program.
