The short version

Analyst Dojo is free: every lesson, interactive and checkpoint across all 102 learning modules, with no account needed. What it does not have yet is a full-length mock exam, video lectures or live teaching. The paid courses above offer some or all of those, and CFA Institute's Learning Ecosystem, which comes with your exam registration, has the official curriculum and official mock exams.

So a sensible plan for many candidates is to learn each module here, then rehearse with the official mock exams and, if you want more, a paid question bank. Looking for free options only? See free CFA Level 1 resources and alternatives.
