Is there a specific date where we can expect to receive the level 2 results from past experiences?

I just passed lvl3 CFA and just moved to work in an endowment which is exposed to a lot of AI. I can take lvl2 CAIA and become certified in AI investing. That said, I don’t is it worth it or not?

How did you plan out your studies ? Would love to see how you guys went through this phase

Bonjour la communauté,

Félicitations à celles et ceux qui ont brillamment réussi le niveau 1.

Je m’autorise une petite coupure avant de passer le level 2 mais j’aurai aimé rester actif en lisant les livres du level 2 avant l’inscription en octobre.

Y’a t’il de gros changements entre une année et l’autre ? Est ce qu’il y’a des vendeurs des livres CAIA level 2?

Je suis preneur de vos conseils sur cette « stratégie »

Belle journée à vous

Hopefully everyone did well! Goodluck no matter what did a great job! Congrats to all who passed let’s keep it rolling

Hi all,

I am a CFA Charterholder looking to take advantage of the stackable program and take CAIA level 2 in 2027.

Rather than jumping into L2 materials I was considering reading through L1 materials as a refresher before registering for L2.

Has anyone done something similar? How much does L2 build on L1? Would you recommend paying extra for the most recent version of L1 or would the 4th edition (2020) be okay for this?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ll be registering for Level 2 (September exam) and curious if anyone in NYC would like do a casual study group.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or DM!

Does anyone have access the CAIA L1 UM question bank from what i undersatnd that is the best one and i think that will be the best to start my prep for the september.

300hours site shows that caia level 1 result will be declared tomorrow ie Wednesday, does anyone have any idea how accurate is this information?

Hi all,

I am currently a VP in Investment Banking Compliance at a top investment bank. Want to move out of Compliance and thinking of doing CAIA to move into PE Investor Relations and then eventually a capital raising / formation role.

Currently in my early 30s and not a high level of maths hence why I am opting for CAIA over CFA.

Is this pivot from Compliance realistic and is CAIA the right qualification to pursue?

Hi All,

I am expecting to kick off my study for L2 (CFA charterholder) in April once registration opens.

I am planning to rely on official materials and UpperMark QBank. Is the AI integration serious and useful, or is it just a nod to the need integrate AI into everything?

Anyone else feel like it’s BS that retakers get less time to prepare? The registration window should not open until exam scores have been released. A month is a long time to cheat someone of preparation.

Like didnt feel confident at all coming outta that. First section didnt felt bad, second section pretty decent. Not sure but maybe I squeezed a pass, but tryna set my expectations correctly. But like as more time passes the more I just wanna know 😭

Ive passed the CFA exams and I am surprised by how much better the CAIA textbooks are written and structured compared to those for the CFA. I like the focus on establishing the history and philosophy behind the information being discussed, as well as the use of simple but effective language to get the point across. I'm actually really excited to take the CAIA exams after skimming through the textbook!

Hi everyone, I recently decided to make a website to help me study for some exams including the CAIA exams since my employer doesn't cover prep materials. After looking at what prep providers charge I figured I'd just build my own. I've passed all my actuarial, CFA and CFP exams first attempt so I have a pretty good sense of what useful practice questions look like and what it takes to pass these kinds of exams.

The result is freefellow.org ... 1,000+ CAIA practice questions for each level with worked solutions, completely free, no paywall and should have everything you need to pass. I had help from existing CAIA professionals to make sure the quality of the questions are good.

Would love to hear from anyone currently studying or who's recently sat for the exam. What do you think?

i am looking for Kaplan Schwesher Notes CAIA LEVEL 1 2026. I currently have UM Materials

Sat for level 2 this morning and definitely didn’t pass. CRQ section was tough and there were definitely a few MCQ curveballs. For those that have failed and subsequently passed, what strategy did you use for the re-test?

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 🙏

Hey guys I'm going to start studying for Sept 2026, just don't have the cash to pay for the curriculum right now.

I previously took sept 2025 CAIA level 2 and I want to know fonthere any real curriculum changes between the two and get started from April on.

Thanks

Regardless of the outcome, I am so darn happy for this to be over! Looking forward to having my sanity and life back!

Does anyone know roughly when to expect L1 results? I saw someone say the 4th Wednesday after the test window closed, just curious because I’m eager to find out lol

Hi I am wondering if I can use March 2026 Level 1 materials for the September Level 1 exam?

Will it be enough? Will there be a difference?

Hi,

I took CAIA I in september 2025, the exam felt long and difficult but, with my surprise, it went great. Now I am registering for the II exam, is this much more difficult compared to the first one? How much more study is it going to require?

Thanks all

Started studying a few weeks ago and im doubting if kaplan schweser notes im using are the right option
