Why build your own CFA Level 1 flashcard set

Many people searching for Quizlet-style CFA Level 1 flashcards want a set that matches the exact readings their exam prep covers. Pre-made decks often drift from the curriculum version you are studying, so the formulas, wording and examples may not line up with your materials.

  • Cards for ethics, quantitative methods, economics, financial reporting, equity, fixed income, derivatives and portfolio management
  • Formulas and definitions pulled from your own readings
  • Quizzes with explanations for the questions you miss
  • Exports to Anki and CSV on paid plans

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for each CFA Level 1 topic?

Start with the key definitions, formulas and rules from each reading, which usually comes to a few dozen cards per topic. Add more only where you keep missing answers, since spaced repetition will bring those back.

Is it better to study CFA Level 1 with flashcards or practice questions?

Use both. Flashcards build recall of formulas and definitions, while practice questions show whether you can apply them under exam conditions.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are included with the paid plans.

Can I export CFA Level 1 flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Plus includes Anki and CSV export for $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
