CFA curriculum length

Hello,

Can you tell me how many pages there are in total in the curriculum for each level? I’m preparing a presentation on the CFA program for students and I’d like to give them an idea about the length of the study materials.

Thank you!

I counted during my Level 2 studies I think and I thought it was something like 3,200 pages. 6 books x 500-600 pages each (give or take).

Schweser was 1,700 pages that year so it was a no brainer!!!

A lot. Start studying.

When i took it, Level 1 CFA curriculum was closer to ~3300 pages.

Level 2 was ~2900 pages.

Level 3 is ~2500 pages.

Looking at the number of pages is missing the point. There are more important pages than others.

Former trader, sure. The idea is to tell students a number that can give them an idea about how the CFA exams compare to their usual mid-year exams. Page number is a good proxy for that.

I tell my students that when someone asks how much they had to study, tehy should say “16 lbs”. And this is in soft-cover.

I thought it’s 30lbs!!!

16 kg which is close to 30 lbs.

He said 16lbs, not 16kg…

I just pulled the figure out of my … (I use the statement more as a humorous illustration). It may be 15 lbs or 30 - I really don’t know. All I know is that it’s a lot of paper to study.

let me check, i think it’s on the label of the parcel.

It was a typo.
