Hi all,

I have started wid FRA part of CFA...Please share some question on same.I have done wid all the statement.Please make this forum more interactive .so we can discuss many things as much as possible.Hope we will clear this exam in attempt via sincere effort.

Finally some response. Well i have started studying this week(im late) n i started with economics. Im reading directly from schweser's. Have you started with eco? I was planning to take up 2 subs simultaneously so that it doesnt get boring. May b i will take up FRA or CF.

@[316381:visionIIM-ACL] this forum is exclusively for study discussions ...to guide ppl who have just started with their studies unlike the general cfa talks which r discussed in the link u provided

@[592758:Cfadec] The link i provided was of a study group that has been preparting for L1 in Dec'12.

For general talks on CFA, there is a seperate thread http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/need-some-opinions-on-cfa-25012326/326171 😃 \

Guys, Please advise me how to study for Economics+Ethics + Maths of L1. I am a qualified CA(1st attempt) and working in an IT giant. I have finished almost 3 scheweser books ; and am in derivatives section of book "Fixed Income Securities".

After this i am gonna start "Ethics, Maths" and then the "economics" book of Schweser.

Please advise me how to efficiently and effectively study for L1 esp the pending segments.

I dunno why, even after being in this stage of completion, i am not feeling that confident. Is it because of the cost involved?

You can answer me via PM.

Thanks.

@[354893:sushant1002001] Take mock tests and you will know where you stand. analystforum and analystnotes are two good websites where you can find questions related to CFA

Hello guys, my queries are:

1. What are the job prospects after completing cfa level 1 and how much pay can be expected. I m a fresher and graduated in commerce this year.

2. Im still doubtful about giving cfa this dec as i have completed about 2 study seasions in fra and 1 study session in eco (both from schweser)

what is the source that you people are using for practice question, other than at the end of each LOS in the books(schweser and cfai)?

I am using schweser question bank, is that sufficent?

yes Schweser notes is sufficient for round 1.Please start your preparation so we can start our discussion.
