Exam Format Level -1
The Level I exams include 240 total multiple choice questions, 120 on themorning session of the exam and 120 on the afternoon session. Each multiple
choice question is free-standing (not dependent on other questions) and has
three possible answers: A, B, and C. All questions are equally weighted and
there is no penalty for guessing.
While you are taking the Level I multiple choice exam, remember: Carefully manage your time. Dont spend too much time on any one
question or topic area. On average, you should allocate 1.5 minutes to each
multiple choice question, including time to record your answer on the answer
sheet.
Read the questions carefully. A careless skimming of the question maylead you to a completely different, and incorrect, answer.
Read each item carefully and eliminate obviously incorrect answers. If
you have to guess and you can eliminate one of the responses, your odds of
answering the question correctly are much higher. There is no penalty for
guessing.

Exam Format Level -1
Mark your answers on the answer sheet as you complete eachquestion. Some candidates mark their answers in the exam book and
wait until the end of the exam to complete the answer sheet. This is
not an advisable strategy.
Expect to encounter questions that you will not be able to answercorrectly. There is a great deal of material to master and exam
questions are challenging. Standard setters and the Board of Governors
(at all three levels) take account of exam difficulty in setting Minimum
Passing Scores.
Examination writers use a standard set of formatting conventionson the multiple choice questions. Many sample exams produced by
third parties do not follow these conventions, so review the CFA
Institute format presented below.
