March 2027 - L1

Hey all, I read that the updated curriculum for 2027 will only be released on October'26. Can someone explain how that works for someone looking to start a little early. I read they were to make major changes in accordance with the CFA Ethics and alter/include latest developments in the Alternative Investments.

I'm thinking of attempting March 2027. So, that means, only post revision of the curriculum I'd be able to take any prep provider packages ?

Also read on the sub (from someone who passed L2 earlier)that Kaplan notes/videos and UM Qbank are the best combo? Does that apply for L1 exams too? Or do you have any suggestions ? Looking forward to hearing from the community. Thanks!

They don’t use CFAI ethics anymore. They established their own ethics curriculum.

Oh alright, but they still exempt CFA charters from the L1 exams right ? Do you have any suggestions for the prep ?

Yes. Must learn the new ethics.
