The CFA Exam dates and deadline are pretty much the same every year: exam is scheduled every June for all levels, and every December for Level I only.
The June exam in 2018 was held 3 weeks later than normal – June 23 instead of the first Saturday of the month.
In any case, the CFA exam opens its registration a year before, and early bird closes 9 months before the exam date.
The next available exam will be held in December. This is applicable to Level 1 exam only:
There are a few points to consider. For example, do you have enough time to study for Level 2 next June? You won’t know the Dec exam results until late January.

The CFA level 1 exam is held on the second or third Saturday in June, and the first Saturday in December. In other words, you have two chances to take this level each year.
It’s the same as the CFA level 1 exam date in June. You can only take Level 2 and 3 once a year.
