3 Months is not a good enough time to prepare for CFA Level 1 , particularly for Non -Finance Grads and moreover if you have just got to know about it
Also with the amount of money that is involved , June '10 would be a bit of a risk.
In my opinion ,You can plan for Dec'10 CFA instead
Just got my material. I'm gonna be on a roll now. Have to study hard to clear L1. Just 3 months more. Come on!!!
PS: I got my material in 9 days.
well, i wanna knw will a work exp in PSU/GOVT SERVICE.. of 4 yrs..will be sufficent to get the CFA charter..after clearing d 3 levels..plz reply..:wow:

Is the time left for June 2010 CFA sufficient if i start my preparations now (considering my background).

@Richi,it depends on how icfai curriculum and since you are already do an mba (fin), you would be some of the stuff, take the last years paper and have a crack and evaluate urself and take a call.

Hi Puys,
Just wanted to know will it be possible to clear the CFA Level 1 exam in June if I start my preperations now? I am willing to put in around 20 hours per week for the prep.
Also, will I get any discount if I give the exam again in Dec '10 if I fail to clear it in June?
What is the study material available and how can we find out if desired test center is available?
Thanks in Advance!!

1. It is certainly possible to clear CFA L 1 in june 2010 if u start now, but you should have basic knowldge of economics and finance.In case, you dont have it, I would advise you to go for Dec 2010 coz the pass % was very low for the december 09 L1 as compared to previous years.
2. You wont get any discounts if u do not clear it in the 1st attempts
3. visit CFA website and see available centres for june and dec 2010

ya...its huge acc to Indian standards....do rem that its Internation CFA so thus the fee quotient ought to be high:P

yes the fees is little high considering that there are only 3 months to go for June exam and the risk of failure can be very high if u dont concentrate properly and yours fees wil go waste in case of failure.
If u register a tag earlier , dn d fee charged is lil less. like If u register now for CFA L 1 in december the fee charged is $ 1020. Plz register for June 2010 when you are quite confident with basics of economics, finance and have a sound base for quantitive aptitude
