CFA Level 1-December 2012

Yup......I am.

any any1 here a CA/CA Finalist??

*PEACE*

can anyone tell me the links where from I can buy study material n test series?

Well hello people of the world !
Relatively new to this thread and have kinda decided on pursuing CFA L1 Dec 2012. Already pursuing MBA now will soon end Sem 2 by April.

I wished to ask about the Schweser notes which are available at Laxmi Xerox in Vile parle. Would they suffice the cause ? And are they actually complete like the ones we'd get if we were to order from Schweser's website.

The reason being that I'm thinking of going through most of it during my summers as the portion is more or less what I've done majorly in my Sem 2 and some of it in Sem 1.

So please enlighten me on the facts about Schwesers notes. Some say, they are just concise highlights and overview type of notes, some claim it to be better than the actual CFA material ?

Thanks !

I will try to answer ur queries...

1. It actually depends on how much time u can give for the studies...u can do it on ur own, just that u will have to be consistent in ur efforts...or else u can opt for some coaching class in ur area..
2. There are 2 calculators which are approved by CFA institute...they are the Texas Instruments BA II Plus and the HP 12C (including the 12C Platinum), u can purchase them online or from a shop, u will have to do a bit of research online for the best deal.
3. U can apply for December Level-1, the first deadline has crossed, the 2nd is in august and 3rd in september..u can register till then, but the fees will increase with every deadline...for more details u can log on to www.cfainstitute.org..
4. If u put up good effort, nothing can stop u from clearing it..though the pass percentage(no of persons clearing) in india is around 35%...But prepare well and you can clear it..
If u wanna go for it, start today, or as early as possible...

All the best

cheers

PS:- Even i am an aspirant for december level-1..

Is passport required even for registration????
How many pages would be there in the e-book?
please reply fast....

The best strategy in this situation would be to...study till Aug...and gauge urself....

If u find urself competent enough to give the exam..shell out the money...else u can change ur mind


I guess this is the best advice.........thanks.........but how to study?
From where can i get the notes?
please reply soon...

Are cfa ebooks preferable or these notes?
I mean are these good enough or one has to study both?

CFA books are much better than notes.
For a beginner, CFA books are recommended.
For MBA passouts, Schweser notes may suffice at times.

Hi puys,

I am an MBA in Finance and I am currently working in a Derivatives profile in a reputed company in Chennai.
