CFA Level 1-December 2012

friends what is the study strategy that you'll are planning to adopt for the december exam?
i think it would be good if we could share our opinion on what would be a good strategy to follow depending upon past qualification and experience..
I plan to start with Quant first



Here is the study plan:

Quant - March
FRA - April
Ethics - May
Corporate Finance - June
Eco - July
FI - Aug
Equity - Sept
Derivatives - Oct
AI - Oct
Nov revision and mock exams

Anybody could tell me
1.How the tests are taken....hand written or typing on a computer or mcqs type?
2.what is a calculater?

Is a passport necessary for registrations.

Can i pay fees only by credit card or there is any other way to pay fees like debit card. please advice.

Anybody know where can I get Schweser Notes in Delhi???
Is there any difference in June and December notes???
I have the soft copies but I prefer printed material...

CFA level 1 notes in delhi + kaplan CD: jawahar book store, ber sarai
it would cost you 1000Rs
is there any difference in june'12 and dec'12 CFA curriculum.
when will the test centre in India be updated??

Hi, does anyone know about exam killer or test king as they guarantee that one can pass the exam with their exaustive question bank

Hi,
I am planning to register for the exam. Any idea on the customs? Do I have to pay anything more for shipping to Hyderabad,India? Or, should I have to collect from customs office? Does anyone have any idea?

The shipping charges for the books are included in the price they give. You have to just give the address to which the books should come.

Hi Everyone,
I've just joined in here.. I'm a CA-Final Student planning to take up CFA course. Plus I'm in my last year wrt BCom. Is there anyone here with a similar profile because ICAI only allows one course along with CA and I don't really want to take the "not disclose" route. So I'm just wanting to check if anyone here has done this before?
That said, I have very strict timings for my articles training and I want to know that if I'm able to do maybe 5 hours per day for 3 weekdays and 7 hours on weekends, how achievable would level one be?
I'm pretty much covered when it comes to the Financial Reporting, Economics, Ethics and Quant..
Appreciate the help 😃

freekyguy007: You boat's sailing from Delhi and mine from Mumbai..! Though you're doing a lot more than I am! I did go for CS along with CA but I was really bored with their kind of testing.. Too much muggu-giri..
So yeah... I'll be aiming at CFA Dec 2012. You think that the amount of time I'm estimating will be enough for the prep?

i think if give around 3 hrs for weekdays and arnd 8 hrs on weekends for around 3-4 months u should easily clear the level 1..

we have to giv our best..

*PEACE*

@freekyguy007 True that.. and would you check your PM?
