Yes, genuinely free CFA Level 1 practice questions exist: Trelos's free tier is the complete first concept of the real CFA Level 1 course — exam-style questions with full explanations inside the actual learning flow — no email gate, no credit card, no PDF. One live question is below; the rest are one tap away in the app.
This is an actual question from the course — answer it and the explanation appears, the same way the app works. No signup between you and it.
Trading on material nonpublic information violates the standard on:
Answer: B. Standard II (Integrity of Capital Markets) prohibits acting on material nonpublic information.
That one trips up a lot of people. There are 390+ real questions inside Trelos — and the app schedules your reviews so the ones you miss come back until they stick. The first concept is free.
Start free — no signup →Nice — you'd be surprised how many miss that. Keep it going: Trelos drills the full CFA LEVEL 1 bank and schedules reviews so it all sticks by test day. The first concept is free.
Start free — no signup →Level 1 is standalone multiple choice — no vignettes yet — across ten topic areas and two 135-minute sessions, which makes it a breadth-and-stamina exam: FSA and Fixed Income carry the notorious difficulty, Ethics abounds in near-miss answers (and adjudicates borderline results), and the real enemy is topic decay across a months-long syllabus. Practice that resurfaces old topics on schedule is practicing the actual failure mode.
The genre has trained everyone to expect a bait-and-switch: an email wall before the first question, a dozen recycled items with no explanations, a "score report" whose real purpose is a discount code. The test of a genuinely free tier is simple: can you answer real questions, see real explanations, and experience how the tool actually teaches, before anyone asks for anything? That's the standard this page and our free tier are built to meet.
Included: the first concept of the CFA Level 1 course, taught in full — lesson, exam-style questions with complete explanations, and the spaced-review scheduling that makes it stick. The same engine the full course runs, not a demo build. Not included: the rest of the syllabus — that's the paid course, and we'd rather say so here than surprise you after a signup. The free concept exists so you can judge the method with your own attempts, on the question style described above, instead of our marketing.
