Does Kuest follow the CFA curriculum?

Kuest teaches the topics in CFA Institute's Level I outline, from ethics to portfolio management. Always use CFA Institute's published curriculum and learning outcome statements for your exam year as the final word on what's tested.

How does Kuest compare with the official curriculum or Kaplan Schweser?

CFA Institute's curriculum is the official source, and providers like Kaplan Schweser offer condensed notes and question banks. Kuest is a tutor: you can ask why a formula works, get a different explanation and practice the topics you're weakest in. It complements those materials.

Can Kuest help with calculator work?

Yes. The tutor walks through time value of money and bond calculations step by step so you know which inputs go where on your approved financial calculator.

How should I study the ethics section?

Ethics is about applying the Standards to realistic situations. Kuest can quiz you on scenarios and explain which Standard applies and why, which works better than rereading the text.

Can Kuest guarantee I pass Level I?

No. No one can honestly promise a pass. Kuest helps you cover the material, practice under time and focus on your weak topics.

How is Kuest different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT answers. Kuest teaches: it asks what you think first, checks every step, turns what you learned into quizzes and flashcards, and remembers what you got wrong so it comes back to it. It also grades your answers on our servers, so it never shows you the answer before you try.

Does one plan cover every subject?

Yes. Free and paid plans include every subject, exam and skill on this site. Switch subjects any time and each one keeps its own history.

Is Kuest safe for students under 18?

It's built for them. There are no ad trackers in the app, we keep personal details out of logs and AI traces, and parents can link their account to follow progress without reading every chat.

Can Kuest replace a tutor or teacher?

It's there for the hours a tutor or teacher can't be: late-night homework, the week before a test, the question you didn't want to ask in class. Many students use it alongside their teacher, not instead of them.

See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

A bond pays a 6% annual coupon and the market yield for similar bonds is 5%. Will it trade at a premium or a discount?

Imagine you're a buyer. Compared with new bonds yielding 5%, is a 6% coupon more or less attractive?

More attractive. It pays more each year.

So buyers will compete for it. What does that do to its price relative to par?

The price goes above par until its yield drops to about 5%. So a premium.

Exactly. When the coupon rate is above the market yield, the bond trades at a premium, and below it, at a discount.

Coupon above market yield means premium; coupon below means discount.
