Exam Structure
Level I
The Level I exam emphasizes the conceptual foundations of performance measurement, attribution, appraisal, and presentation, as well as the GIPS standards. This level is weighted more heavily on performance measurement and attribution.
Level II

All CFA charterholders and candidates who have successfully completed the Level III CFA exam are exempt from CIPM Level l and may register directly for Level ll.
