## FAQ

### What does the CFA Level 1 Formula Reference include?

A 54-page printable PDF with 250 formulas and 98 key definitions across 10 Level 1 topic areas, an 80-question Formula Recall Drill with explained answer key, and a clickable table of contents.

### Is this a CFA study course or curriculum replacement?

No. This is a recall companion — it helps you retrieve formulas you already studied. It does not teach the curriculum and should be paired with official CFA Institute materials and full-length practice exams.

### Does this pair with the CFA Level 1 Anki deck?

Yes. The PDF and 342+ card Anki deck share the same validated item bank. Use the reference for printable formula tables and the recall drill; use Anki for daily spaced-repetition on your phone.

### Is there a free practice test?

Yes. Take the free 60-question CFA Level 1 readiness check at uniprep2go.study/mock-exams/cfa-level-1-readiness-check — it scores topic gaps and links back to this deck.

### Is this official CFA Institute material?

No. This is an independent educational product. CFA Institute does not endorse, promote, or warrant the accuracy or quality of this product.

### How should I use it before exam day?

Print or bookmark weak topic tables, run the 80-question recall drill under timed conditions, review every explanation, then drill matching cards in the companion Anki deck on missed topics.
