trusting Kaplan Schweser to help you reach your goals We are all very pleased to be able to help you prepare for the Level I CFA Exam In this introduction, I want to explain the resources included with the SchweserNotes, suggest how you can best use Schweser materials to prepare for the exam, and direct you toward other educational resources you will find helpful as you study for the exam Besides the SchweserNotes themselves, there are many educational resources available at Schweser.com Just log in using the individual username and password that you received when you purchased the SchweserNotes Most candidates find our Online Resource Library video “How to Pass the Level I CFA Exam” very helpful in both planning and executing a successful study strategy SchweserNotes™ These consist of five volumes that include complete coverage of all 18 Study Sessions and all Learning Outcome Statements (LOS) with examples, Concept Checkers (multiple-choice questions for every topic review), and Challenge Problems for many topic reviews to help you master the material and check your progress At the end of each major topic area, we include a Self-test Self-test questions are created to be exam¬ like in format and difficulty in order for you to evaluate how well your study of each topic has prepared you for the actual exam Practice Questions To retain what you learn, it is important that you quiz yourself often We offer online and offline versions of the SchweserPro QBank, which contains thousands of Level I practice questions and explanations Quizzes are available for each LOS, topic, or Study Session Build your own exams by specifying the topics and the number of questions you choose Practice Exams Schweser offers six full 6-hour practice exams Practice Exams Volume and Volume each contain three full 240-question exams These are important tools for gaining the speed and skills you will need to pass the exam Each book contains answers with full explanations for self-grading and evaluation By entering your answers at Schweser.com, you can use our Performance Tracker to find out how you have performed compared to other Schweser Level I candidates Schweser Library We have created reference videos, some of which are available to all SchweserNotes purchasers Schweser Library volumes are typically between 20 and 60 minutes in length and cover such topics

publisher's prior permission Violators will be prosecuted Welcome to the 2015 SchweserNotes™ breaking each study session into daily and weekly tasks to keep you on track and help you monitor your progress through the curriculum The Level I CFA exam is a formidable challenge (63 topic reviews and more than 500 Learning Outcome Statements), and you must devote considerable time and effort to be properly prepared There is no shortcut! You must learn the material, know the terminology and techniques, understand the concepts, and be able to answer 240 questions quickly and (at least 70%) correctly Fifteen to 20 hours per week for 20 weeks is a good estimate of the study time required on average, but some candidates will need more or less time, depending on their individual backgrounds and experience To help you master this material and be well prepared for the CFA Exam, we offer several other educational resources, including: Live Weekly Classroom Programs We offer weekly classroom programs around the world Please check Schweser.com for locations, dates, and availability Online Class Our Online Classes are available at New York time (6:30-9:30 pm) or London time (6:00—9:00 pm) beginning in January and July The

on the Mock Exam Please visit Schweser.com for a listing of cities and locations Topic Weighting In preparing for the exam, you must pay attention to the weights assigned within the curriculum The Level I topic weights are as follows: to each topic Exam Weight Topic Ethical and Professional Standards 15% Quantitative Methods 12% Economics 10% Financial Reporting and Analysis 20% Corporate Finance Portfolio Management 7% 7% Equity Investments 10% Fixed Income 10% Derivatives 5% Alternative Investments 4% Total 100% EIow to Succeed There are no shortcuts; depend on the fact that CFA Institute will test you in a way that will reveal how well you know the Level I curriculum You should begin early and stick to your study plan You should first read the SchweserNotes and complete the Concept Checkers and Challenge Problems for each topic review You should prepare for and attend a live class, an online class, or a study group each week You should take quizzes often using SchweserPro Qbank and go back to review previous topics and Study Sessions as well At the end of each topic area, you should take the Self-test to check your progress You should finish the overall curriculum at least four weeks (preferably longer) before the Level I exam so that you have sufficient time for Practice Exams and for further review of those topics that you have not yet mastered I

If EPS = x = $7.25, then z = [x- p)/o = ($7.25 - $5.00)/$1.50 = +1.50 If APS = x = $3.00, then z = (x- p)/cj = ($3.00 - $5.00)/$ 1.50 = -1.33 Solving Using The Cumulative Z-Table For z-value of 1.50: Use the row headed 1.5 and the column headed to find the value 0.9332 This represents the area under the curve to the left of the critical value 1.50 For z-value of —1.33: Use the row headed 1.3 and the column headed to find the value 0.9082 This represents the area under the curve to the left of the critical value +1.33 The area to the left of —1.33 is — 0.9082 = 0.0918 The area between these critical values is 0.9332 - 0.0918 = 0.8414, or 84.14% Hypothesis Testing — One-Tailed Test Example A sample of a stock’s returns on 36 nonconsecutive days results in a mean return of 2.0 percent Assume the population standard deviation is 20.0 percent Can we say with 95 percent confidence that the mean return is greater than zero percent? x Hq: |i < 0.0%, Ha: p > 0.0% The test statistic = z-statistic = — ~Po = (2.0 -0.0) / a I Vn (20.0/ 6) = 0.60 The significance level = 1.0 - 0.95 = 0.05, or 5% Because we are interested in a return greater than 0.0 percent, this is a one-tailed test Using the Cumulative Z-Table Because this is a one-tailed test with an alpha of 0.05, we need to find the value 0.95 in the cumulative z-table The closest value is 0.9505, with a corresponding critical z-value of 1.65 Because the test statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to reject H() Page 378 ©2014 Kaplan, Inc PRINTED BY: Stephanie Cronk Printing is for personal, private use only No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted without publisher's prior permission Violators will be prosecuted Book - Ethical and Professional Standards and Quantitative Methods Appendix A: Areas Under the Normal Curve Hypothesis Testing - Two-Tailed Test Example Using the same assumptions as before, suppose that the analyst now wants to determine if he can say with 99% confidence that the stock’s return is not equal to 0.0 percent Hq: p = 0.0%, Ha: p 0.0% The test statistic (z-value) = (2.0 - 0.0) / (20.0 / 6) = 0.60 The significance level = 1.0 — 0.99 = 0.01, or 1% Because we are interested in whether or not the stock return is nonzero, this is a two-tailed test Using the Cumulative Z-Table Because this is a two-tailed test with an alpha of 0.01, there is a 0.005 rejection region in both tails Thus, we need to find the value 0.995 (1.0 - 0.005) in the table The closest value is 0.9951, which corresponds to a critical z-value of 2.58 Because the test statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to reject H() and conclude that the stock’s return equals 0.0 percent ©2014 Kaplan, Inc Page 379 PRINTED BY: Stephanie Cronk Printing is for personal, private use only
