The general frequency for the CFA Level 1 exams is four times a year, usually in the months of February, May, August, and November. You should keep in mind that though the exam window is open 4 times, you cannot apply in each window, as there must be a gap of at least 6 months between exams, leaving you with a maximum of 2 attempts in a year.
