This is what a summary actually looks like
One real page from the curriculum, turned into a color-coded flow-chart. Concepts, formulas, and relationships you can take in at a glance — instead of pages of text to re-read.
Dense LOS content turned into tight, color-coded flow-charts. Stop cramming paragraphs and start seeing how every concept connects — built for scanning, recall, and fast repeat review.
One real page from the curriculum, turned into a color-coded flow-chart. Concepts, formulas, and relationships you can take in at a glance — instead of pages of text to re-read.
February 2027 is the first exam window on the updated curriculum — the November 2026 window is the last on the current one. Last year's notes, secondhand PDFs, and a lot of old forum advice no longer match what you'll be tested on.
Quantitative Methods moves into the heaviest weight band — and adds a brand-new reading on financial data science and AI.
No longer the single biggest topic, and restructured into one module per Standard. "Start with Ethics, it's the biggest" is now outdated advice.
Restructured around financial-statement forecasting, scenario analysis, and research — a different reading list from 2026.
That's why the summaries are year-matched: pick 2026 or 2027 at checkout and every flowchart follows that year's readings and weights. See the full 2027 curriculum-changes breakdown.
Every other provider hands you more text to read. We do the opposite — we turn the curriculum into visual logic you can actually hold in your head. That's why candidates keep coming back to Battle-Ready Summaries, and why there's no real substitute.
Designed to cut memorization overload so you can focus on understanding — then recall it on exam day.
Flow-charts show how each LOS fits into the whole curriculum, so concepts stick instead of slipping away.
Each topic is a focused 3–4 page PDF — easy to read, easy to re-read, perfect as an exam-week cheat sheet.
A clear overview of every topic and module — no fluff, no skimming three textbooks to find the point.
Key formulas and relationships in one place — candidates call the lists "pretty exhaustive" for a reason.
Reinforce memory with minimal effort by reviewing relationships visually, again and again, right up to exam day.
Created by experienced CFA charterholders who aced their exams — you're learning from people who've done it.
Battle-Ready Summaries are a focused review and recall tool. Here's who gets the most out of them.
Candidates describe the formula lists as "pretty exhaustive" — everything in one place, without digging through multiple textbooks.
Users drilled the concepts and "kept everything fresh" in the final days before exam day, when fast review matters most.
Every learning outcome is covered — no fluff, no cross-referencing. The summary does the heavy lifting so you can focus on understanding.
Select 2026 or 2027 to match the exam you're sitting — same price, and the content follows that year's curriculum.
Get your PDF summaries right after checkout and start reviewing the same day.
Re-read the flow-charts as often as you like — they're built for repeat review right up to exam day. And if the exam doesn't go your way, the updated next edition is free.
The summaries show how concepts connect. These two round out the system — structured reading and formula drills.
Concise, curriculum-aligned notes organized by Learning Outcome — structured reading from Day 1, before the summaries take over for review.
Every key Level I formula in one place, organized by topic — the flow-charts show you when a formula applies, the sheet locks in what to compute.
FinQuiz is built and run by CFA charterholders. Here's what candidates say about studying with our materials.
I used the FinQuiz study questions preparing for both Level II and Level III, and I can say with certainty I wouldn't have completed either exam without your organization's assistance.
I just found out I passed Level III. I couldn't have done it without FinQuiz's qbank and practice exams. I highly recommend your materials to all my friends.
I would recommend FinQuiz for its smart summaries, curriculum notes and formula sheet.
Testimonials reflect candidates' overall experience with FinQuiz study materials across CFA levels.
They're flow-chart based. Instead of pages of text, each topic becomes a visual, color-coded flow-chart that shows how concepts connect. No other major CFA provider offers summaries in this format — which is exactly why candidates use them for fast review and recall.
Yes. You choose your exam year — 2026 or 2027 — at checkout, and the content reflects that year's readings and Learning Outcomes. The 2027 edition follows the new 2027 curriculum, including the reworked topic weights and the new readings that take effect with the February 2027 window.
From the February 2027 window, Level I runs on an updated curriculum. Quantitative Methods rises from 6–9% to 11–14% of the exam and adds a new reading on financial data science and AI; Ethics drops from 15–20% to 10–15% and is restructured; and Equities is rebuilt around financial-statement forecasting and research. Every window from February 2027 onward uses the new curriculum — the November 2026 window is the last on the current one. Read our full breakdown of the 2027 changes.
