Level 1 help? Non Finance Background

CFAI starts from the ground up; however, they do not show you how to calculate on a calculator as an FYI. Watch YouTube vids to help you with that. 

yeah agree with @mattyc. You don’t need extra stuff – the curriculum or study notes have all the information you need.

I think the level 1 materials are all you need to pass the test.  There is a fair amount of calculations so if you’re decent at math you should be fine.  The real challenge is the amount of information to retain.

No finance background here either. I read Direct Path to the CFAA Charter by Rachel Bryant. Also read CFA fundamentals by Kaplan.
