UpperMark™ Study Handbooks are the foundation of our Suite study packages. Adhering closely to the CAIA assigned readings, they provide comprehensive coverage of the CAIA material. Our Study Handbooks come with our FormulaSheet - a handy product containing CAIA Level II key equations. It's been few years since I took CAIA, but I found UpperMark for level 1 to be pretty good. I don't remember what I got on the actual test, but I remember thinking the test was easier than the study material for level 1. I was averaging higher score than you on the UpperMark tests though.
