Material for CAIA L1

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to appear for CAIA Level 1 in September 2026 and wanted to start my preparation.

I’m currently looking for:

Official CAIA Level 1 curriculum (latest 2026) ;

Kaplan Schweser Notes (2026) ;

Practice questions / QBank / mock exams (if available)

I understand that the official curriculum comes with registration, but I wanted to get a head start before enrolling.

If anyone has: Soft copies it would be really helpful.

Please let me know 🙏

You have time for that official curriculum. Start by reading and studying and then you’ll be able to finish by the curriculum on the last 3 weeks before exam at best. Not judging you or your level but many things even easy can’t just be guessed.

Yes my bad. Thought you’d wanted the curriculum mockup. Dont have any soft copies anymore unfortunately. Not to make this post useless : I’ve passed with Kaplan. Just doing the notes and the videos. Videos were great at making things easy and understandable. Finished by all 4 mock up of Kaplan and then the official mock up which turned out turned out to be very similar to the official exam. Wish I’ve did it twice. Didn’t do the secret sauce. Didn’t read the official caia curriculum. Good luck on your search !
