The CFA Level 1 exam results show that Ronit Peshwani achieved a score of 1805. It serves as an excellent motivation for finance students.
The CFA Level 1 Exam presents a major challenge to finance students who must balance their study work with other academic duties. Ronit Peshwani achieved an outstanding 1805 score while he was studying for his MBA program.
His short journey with us shows how strong conceptual clarity, focused preparation, and efficient study resources can make such a huge difference in the CFA coaching.
His Early Interest in Finance
Ronit was interested in finance from the very beginning of his academic journey. So, he chose to study commerce as he wanted to continue the same path.
He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance at HR College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai. He used this time to research methods for developing his career while he studied for competitive exams, including CAT.
He joined the National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM) immediately after completing his degree to pursue an MBA program with a focus on finance.
Discovering the CFA Opportunity
Ronit received a scholarship for the CFA program while he studied at NIBM. After that, he started searching for CFA coaching institutes because he wanted to obtain a global finance certification, which the CFA Institute provides.
He started his CFA Level 1 studies in his second MBA year, and he took the exam in February 2026.
Choosing the Right CFA Coaching
Wondering how to prepare for CFA Level 1, Ronit searched for various options online, and he found edZeb. Looking to know more about the institute, he came to know about the efficient learning hours, which made him join our pre-recorded sessions. We offer fewer hours of study, but it is apt and the quality you will not find anywhere else.
“I already had knowledge of around 50–60% of the curriculum from my MBA and bachelor’s degree. The main challenge was managing time while pursuing CFA with MBA.”
The long lecture times of certain courses made Ronit choose our pre-recorded CFA classes. It helped him complete the syllabus without compromising his understanding of the concepts. Long lectures do not mean better learning. What truly matters is clear explanations, focused content, and efficient delivery that help students grasp concepts effectively.
Completing the Curriculum in Just 45 Days
He finished the curriculum in just 45 days because he already had the basic understanding from his academic history. Our pre-recorded lectures allowed him to study at his own pace.
He accelerated his learning process by watching our lectures and finished all course materials and mock tests within 45 days.
Overcoming the Challenges in CFA Preparation
Ronit studied for an MBA and CFA program because he understood that mastering concepts would help him balance his studies and succeed at his upcoming exam. He relied mainly on our concise notes and structured explanations.
“For many subjects, the notes were more than enough. They were concise and focused on what is actually important for the exam.”
The notes proved especially useful to him in studying Derivatives and Fixed Income because those subjects present difficulties to most candidates.
Ronit maintained a simplified study process by choosing one resource to study, which enabled him to prepare without additional time-consuming materials. He found ethics to be extremely difficult because he handled Derivatives and Fixed Income using our precise notes, but Ethics is different.
“Initially, my accuracy in Ethics was around 58–60%, but gradually it improved to nearly 80% only with daily practice.”
Ethics questions require subjective judgment and interpretation, which distinguishes them from other technical subjects. His practice and learning of the correct methods led to significant improvement in his accuracy.
Exam Readiness and Result
Ronit practised two mock tests and achieved 91% and 85% scores to gain confidence for his real examination. He approached the exam with confidence because he had only a short period for preparation, and he believed he would pass the test.
“I was confident about passing the exam. My focus was more on conceptual clarity than just passing.”
The results announcement moment had arrived, and Ronit expected to receive a strong score between 1770 and 1780 based on his actual performance. His actual score of 1805 exceeded all his expectations. The outcome proved that his preparation strategy was effective.
Learning Beyond the Exam
The CFA curriculum only served as a foundation for Ronit because our lectures provided him with additional knowledge. He developed practical investing knowledge and received guidance to research options selling, which would provide him with authentic financial market experience.
He achieved two major accomplishments by passing the exam and making substantial profits from options trading. The experience helped him develop academically while he also achieved personal growth through the process.
Advice for Future CFA Aspirants
The CFA exams require students to demonstrate success through three main elements, which include a clear understanding, consistent study methods and targeted exam study techniques. The best way to study multiple resources, according to him, requires students to concentrate on organised educational methods together with building fundamental knowledge.
Looking Ahead
Ronit advances his finance career through his MBA program after he achieved CFA Level 1 certification, which demonstrates his academic abilities. The story demonstrates that students can handle intense academic workloads while succeeding in their professional certification requirements through proper planning.
