Hi,

I am Planning to give CFA Level in june 2012. I want help for the following question:
1) Is 8 month time is sufficient to prepare for CFA as I am doing job??
2) What are the payment option to pay the fees for CFA ??
3) What books should I prefer in these 8 months ??
4) What are the important points that I should note to crack the
first level of CFA in my checklist ??
5) As my base is in finance and I have given many modules of NCFM so it
will be possible for me to prepare on self study basis or I have to join
coaching classes ?
As my dream is CFA I request:
All seniors, CFA aspirants and CFA pursuer kindly advise for the same..


Thanks in Advance

Hi fantest,
I was wondering that whether its possible to prepare for the CFA level 1 in 2 months,that too when you are working full time,that would leave at most 2 -3 hrs per day for studying.So that would be like 2.5 * 60 = 150 hrs of preparation.Keeping in mind that I am a software engineer working in an IT company having no finance or economics background whatsoever.
What do u think, should I make an attempt in december this year??

hi,
i am myself a candidate of cfa june 2012 level . i will try to answer your queries.
1.) yes, 8 months time i sufficient for CFA level 1. approx 200-250 hrs of study is required for level 1. i am doing MBA and life is equally hectic compared to a job. so we are on the same boat.

2.)will reply to this by tomorrow.

3.) u should get schweser notes and the notes sent by cfa institute after paying the fees.

4.) hard work and grasping of concepts.

5.) no coaching is required. self study would suffice.


thanks fantast
as i am from pune so can you please suggest me from where do i get schewzer notes
