hey guys i am based in delhi-NCR right now.
need info on how to get material for CFA level-1
how much will the original material cost from CFA institute?
will i have to pay for it extra apart from exam fees or is it provided free with exam registration?.
Greetings friends,
I come from IT background (No prior business courses or experience), and I'm looking for books that covers the basics before I dive into the CBOK.
Any recommendations?
I find good reviews for this book:
Amazon.com: Kaplan CFA Basics: The Schweser Study Guide to Getting Started (9780743224727): Bruce Kuhlman: Books
Appreciate your help guys.

Hello mate(s). I am furthering this discussion regarding CFA Level 1 am intended to appear for L1 examination in the June this year. Situation is I am a engineer by qualification and working with Dell International site, Gurgaon as a senior technical support consultant. Not happy with the Job and life of course. In life time is the scarcest commodity I will be turning 27 this summer. I was a good student I missed IIT only slightly.
Time is terrible short and in my life in the toughest situation I had believed in one thing which is omnipotent and omnipresent: Will power.
My question is I can take break from the job in the month of May and study for around 35 days at least 10 hours a day consistently and with determined pursuit and thus cracking the examination level 1 please comment on my approach which according to few seems to be impractical but I believe turning impossible by sheer determination great and indefatigable courage-I am waiting for your comment on it.
Secondly stand alone how much success can L1 give me in fetching a job in the field of financial market in terms of maximum package
Please elaborate your comments.
Cheers and Regards
Ankish Kumar
Can anyone help me out with the approved calculators..as in where can i get them in india (chennai to be precise)...
I am willing to buy TI BAII Plus Professional...open to used one too..
Q1: cant say much,depends on your current financial knowledge.
Q2: Frankly i dont think CFA L1 gets you a big boost w.r.t 1)Financial knowledge 2)career prospects.Yes , a CFA L2 may, to some extent,but definitely not L1...hope it helps...don corleone

HI
I am a level 3 candidate. I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching and hence I am very keen on helping people clear the CFA exams. I was trying to find a way to start a communities/forums/threads (for level 1, 2 and 3) where cfa candidates can publish their doubts and others can try to answer them but couldn't find it. At least I will try my best to answer your questions.
Can someone please start a community/forum where CFA folks can discuss their doubts? It will be great help.
Thanks
That's very kind of you amitag25 
.
I want to appear for the exam either in Dec 2010 or June 2011. I want to know about the time required for preparation of exam and is it possible to appear in level II in June 2011 ( if I clear Level I in dec 2010 ) with 4 months of preparation (I am ready to give 4 hours daily for it).
I also want to know about the job prospects after completing the course, since I do not have any background in finance but want to make my career in it.
Thanks
Hey NipunAnand..even I am preparing for CFA L1 in Dec 2010. Im from pune...you?
Hi all,
I want to know that CFA doesn't the send the study material after enrollment?
Do we have to get the study material from other sources?
can any1 plz lemme know which all books do we require for all 3 levels of CFA.i've heard there is some shop in umbai.Do any1 has a contact no. of tat shop.plz lemme know
Hello Puys!!! I am planning 2 give the CFA Level-1 in June 2011.I intend on starting off my preparation at the earliest..So, ....
1. Wat is the difference between CFA-AIMR & CFA-ICFAI?
2. Shall I go for the books available in the market for CFA Level-1 2010 or shall I wait as there might be a revision in the curriculum?
3. I've noted that the course-related materials are provided by the CFAI upon registration. Are those materials sufficient for clearing the exams in the 1st attempt? Also, does CFAI provide the materials for all the levels upon subsequent registration at no additional expense or are we supposed shell out extra bucks for the same?
4. I also read dat CFA level-1 2010 notes are available @ a xerox store. Can u pls tell me whether the notes for subsequent levels are also readily available @ such places as I've heard dat the original notes costs more than Rs 22000+?
5. Finally, by when is the registration for CFA L-1 June-2011 likely to commence?
Thanx in advance!
P.S. : Don't mind if any of the above queries is repeated!
