Practice exams! Who wants practice exams?

No problem @M_K, glad you found it useful! Oh, and welcome to the community! 🙂

Are these exams still available? I do not see anything

@zee

I’ll refrain from it until the end (if I still have issues with ethics – hopefully not!)

Just FYI, the CFA Institute explictly stresses to only look at the last three years of exams as things change. That said, when I did L3 I definitely used exams dating back to 2001. They were helpful, with the occasional problem that made me go “WTF”

so is the ethics part safe enough to look at for a Level 1 person?

if so, any help with how to identify where the ethics question even is? lol the format is very different

@lulu123 look for ethics questions in the item set papers. Actually even the format of the multiple choice is different from Level I so I’m not sure if going through Level III papers is going to help much.

Are the older versions of the exams still valid? or has the exams evolved?

@connectconnect – @Marc has kindly shared the past papers for Level 3 as somehow it’s hard to find Level 3 practice papers to try. The Level 3 syllabus has evolved slightly, but not that much, it’s great practice for IPS/essay questions

Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing!! I am just on level 2 but will hopefully put these to good use next year!

@Marc do you have the same site for CFA L2?

Brilliant! Thanks a lot @Marc. 🙂

Holy crap. Thanks for saving all of these!

You can also always post Ethics questions here. That’s something I should be able to help with 🙂

@Marc Thanks so much for this, I’m definitely going to do the ethics and IPS questions.

@Sophie and thanks for all your summaries on IPS, helped me a lot. Thanks!

Should I download all the files now if Im oging to take Level 3 in like 3 years from now? Or the site will be still availble in 2017? =D Ure notes are genius! 

Aha! Great stuff to stumble on

Unfortunately it’s likely that CFA Institute has requested that they be taken down, as the copyright to those exams are owned by CFA Institute.

Thanks a lot for these! Although I’m only a Level I candidate, these will come in handy in a couple of years time 🙂
