CFA Level 1 isn’t about passive reading or rewatching videos—it’s about building the skill to recall, apply, and problem-solve under pressure. Many candidates fall into the illusion of learning just because they’ve “covered” the material. But knowing about a topic is not the same as knowing how to use it. That’s where most prep plans go wrong.

MasterCFA fixes this problem by guiding you through an active study framework that helps you internalize, practice, and master every CFA concept with precision.

What’s Inside This Feature?

MasterCFA follows a proven four-step study framework:

1. Learn
Start with high-impact, easy-to-understand lessons and videos. These are designed to simplify even the most difficult CFA Level 1 concepts.

2. Test
After each topic, take short quizzes to assess what you've actually understood—not just what you've read. Immediate feedback shows whether you're ready to move on.

3. Analyze
View detailed reports to identify your weak areas. The app highlights what you consistently get wrong so you can focus your efforts effectively.

4. Revise
Revisit just the parts you’re struggling with. This targeted review boosts retention and strengthens your weak spots.

Why This Feature Matters

Most CFA candidates struggle with retention, not effort. Watching lectures or reading summaries gives a false sense of confidence. But in the real exam, it’s about applying under pressure.

MasterCFA’s active cycle ensures you’re not just reading—you’re learning, testing, improving, and retaining.

You don’t just feel ready. You are ready.
