CFA Institute corrects the curriculum weekly and updates the errata notice monthly — but the PDF and eBook versions are never updated during the year. exclam.ai applies the corrections into the readings and quizzes built from your own copy, so you study the official books without babysitting the notice.

These are CFA Institute's own published process facts — read the errata page on cfainstitute.org for the current notices.
CFA Institute maintains an errata team and publishes a curriculum errata notice per level each cycle — miscalculations, incorrect explanations, mislabeled exhibits. This is normal for a document set of thousands of pages.
Confirmed corrections are applied weekly inside the Learning Ecosystem, and the downloadable errata notices are updated monthly. The list you checked in June is not the list that exists in October.
CFA Institute states that the PDF and eBook versions of the curriculum are not updated during the year. If you study from the PDFs or print — as most candidates using Schweser-plus-curriculum or curriculum-only setups do — every correction is your homework.
If you study from the PDFs or print, staying current is a recurring chore, not a one-time check:
Skip a month and a misprinted figure quietly becomes a flashcard, then a wrong answer you were sure about.
The gold-standard curriculum, with the corrections where you actually study — in the readings, the reader, and the quizzes.
You upload the curriculum PDFs you are licensed to use, and the official errata notice alongside them. Both stay yours — nothing is redistributed.
Each correction is applied to the affected passage when your material is processed — including values derived from the corrected number, which a find-and-replace would miss. The application is scoped and verified: nothing outside the erratum changes.
When a reading touches pages with corrections, a notice in the reader lists the corrected values, and it distinguishes official published errata from corrections exclam.ai detected on its own.
Practice is generated from your corrected pages, so a quiz does not test you on a misprint the notice retracted months ago.
Errata are confirmed errors in the published CFA Program curriculum — miscalculations, incorrect explanations, mislabeled exhibits. CFA Institute investigates reported issues and publishes a curriculum errata notice per level, updated monthly, with corrections applied weekly inside the Learning Ecosystem.
No. CFA Institute states that the PDF and eBook versions are not updated throughout the year — candidates are directed to the online errata notices instead. A PDF downloaded at registration stays wrong wherever the notice later corrects it.
Officially: check the current errata notice for your level and year on cfainstitute.org, and re-check it monthly. With exclam.ai: upload the notice with your curriculum, and the reader flags corrected values on the affected pages of the readings you are actually assigned.
It applies each correction into your uploaded curriculum where the erratum lands — including values derived from the corrected number — then generates readings and quizzes from the corrected text. When CFA Institute updates the notice, upload the new version and the new corrections apply the same way.
Sometimes. When processing finds an internal inconsistency the official notice has not confirmed, it can flag a correction of its own. These are always labeled as exclam-detected, never presented as CFA Institute’s, and shown separately from published errata.
No. Corrections apply only inside your own licensed, uploaded copy of the curriculum. exclam.ai does not publish errata content, curriculum text, or learning outcome statements, and this page reproduces none of them.
