CFA Level 1 study plan generator

Enter your mock scores and exam date to get a week-by-week plan weighted by topic weight and your weakest areas.

How the plan is built

• Each topic gets study hours by exam weight multiplied by your gap to a 70% score, so weak, heavily weighted topics come first.
• Hours are laid out week by week up to your exam date at the weekly hours you choose.
• Mocks 2–4 are scheduled as timed checkpoints; the last week is a review of your mistakes.
• Every week links to the study-guide notes and topic drill for each topic.
