Why ethics cards work better made from your own notes

The ethics section of CFA Level 1 rewards precise recall of the Code and Standards, which is why CFA Level 1 ethics flashcards suit the topic so well.

  • Front: the Standard number and name. Back: the requirement, in your own words.
  • Separate cards for the Code of Ethics and each Standard make gaps easy to spot.
  • Quizzes with explanations help you practice applying Standards to scenarios.
  • Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition and turned into cards.
