CFA Level I news and updates
Tracking curriculum changes, deadlines and requirements, with each claim labelled by how firmly it is confirmed.
Last updated: 5 August 2026
November 2026 is the last exam on the old curriculum
About a quarter of Level I changes from February 2027, concentrated in Quantitative Methods and Equities, with a new AI and data science module. Which window to target.
The mandatory module that can void your CFA result
The Practical Skills Module carries no marks and sits on no weight table, yet failing to complete it can void your result entirely.
How we label information
Exam requirements change between cycles, and plenty of what circulates online is out of date. So that you can tell a fact from an expectation at a glance, we label each claim:
- Confirmed Published by CFA Institute or another official source, with the reference.
- Expected Announced but not yet formally published.
- Estimate Our own inference from previous cycles.
We do not cite forums or messaging groups. If a claim has no official backing, we say so.
