No, you cannot apply for the CFA Level 2 exam before completing and passing the CFA Level 1 exam. The CFA Program has a strict sequential order. This progression ensures that candidates have a solid understanding of the foundational concepts covered in Level 1 before advancing to the more complex and specialised material in Levels 2 and 3.

The time required to finish the CFA syllabus might change based on some variables, including your level of prior knowledge, how well you study, and your personal obligations. According to the CFA Institute, candidates have to try to dedicate roughly 300 hours to studying for every exam level. Divide the syllabus up into manageable study periods, giving each topic enough time, and review your progress regularly. Determine your areas of weakness and devote additional study time to those subjects. It is crucial to practice in a timed environment and take more mock tests.
