Enough to tighten review. Not enough to manage the whole sitting.

The PDF is intentionally compact: a control sheet for the final stretch. L1Tracker adds the missing operating layer: exam-date scheduling, mastery history, topic analytics, flashcards, practice logs, and readiness signals.

CFA Level I Cram Sheet

Final pass

01 / Control list

Exam-week checks

Run one mixed set before reviewing notes, not after.
Write down every miss as rule, formula, process, or attention.
Rework wrong answers without looking at the solution path.
Do one calculator reset drill before each timed session.

02 / Formula sweep

High-slip formulas

TVM inputs, effective annual rate, and compounding conversions.
Bond price, yield, duration, convexity, and spread relationships.
Portfolio expected return, variance, covariance, beta, and alpha.
Forward pricing, futures margin logic, and option payoff diagrams.

03 / Judgment pass

Concepts to say out loud

Ethics procedure language and duties to clients, employers, and market integrity.
Financial reporting adjustments, ratios, revenue recognition, and inventory methods.
Equity valuation assumptions, required return inputs, and model limitations.
Alternative investment characteristics, fee structures, and liquidity constraints.

Practice score rule

Use score bands to decide the next action. Do not let a topic leave rotation because it felt familiar.

0-50%Stop rereading. Rebuild the concept from examples, then retry.

51-70%Keep the topic in rotation. Accuracy is forming but not stable.

71-85%Shift to mixed practice so the topic survives interference.

86%+Maintain with short reviews. Spend fresh time elsewhere.
