Overview

The CFA® Level 1 curriculum is typically not officially divided into "Part 1," "Part 2," or "Part 3" by the CFA Institute. However, some third-party prep providers (like Kaplan Schweser, Wiley, or AnalystPrep) may divide their study materials or video courses into multiple parts-often 2 or 3-for more manageable learning chunks.If you're referring to CFA® Level 1 Part 3 from such a prep provider, it usually covers the final group of topics in the Level 1 curriculum. Here's a general idea of what Part 3 might include:CFA® Level 1 - Part 3 Course Description (Typical Third-Party Format)This course is the final section of a three-part CFA® Level 1 preparation series.
