typically after a long topic like equity...i would take up corporate finance as it is easier and smaller in size and it is more concept oriented..where as FRA has lots of mugging up required..so I would start with FRA later so that I dont forget it till the exams are over.

The idea is logical concepts are difficult to forget as compared to plain rules which we need to mug up. And corporate finance is more of logical concepts as compared to FRA.

ATDH.

Ok sir i think you are right. FRA will be very heavy after equity. I will do corp finance after equity.

This is the same as Laxmi printer (same number). I had a horrible experience with this person called Mansoor... he is a cheat and very bad to deal with. Please be aware of him. Rest is your risk. NEVER pay him advance money !!

Hi All,

I joined the forum today. I am a B.Tech with 6 years of experience. I am pursuing corporate MBA in Finance currently. However that alone would not help me in building career in Financial Market. I am heading towards to appear for CFA Level 1 in June 2013, though I have not yet registered for the same.

I would like to know is it too late to get registered now for CFA Level 1 exam to be held in June 2013 ? Or, its the right time to get registered as we still have 5 months to for preparation, revision and appear for Mock Exams. Please provide suggestions based on experience.

Also, I read of couple of threads in this forum about "Schweser Notes ". How different are they from the CFA books ? Do we need to go through both teh CFS books and the "Schweser Notes " ??

Would appreciate your help in clearing my doubts.

Wish you all Merry X-Mas!!!


Thanks,
Parul

@Hi @ParulAgarwal 5 months are sufficient to crack level1. but you need to provide at least 2.5-3.5 hrs everyday & 6-7 hrs on the weekend. they say that 300 hrs are sufficient but i personally believe 400+ hrs are required for a person who is fronm non finance back ground.

Schweser note alone is sufficient but try to understand each & every LOS from there. they ask really minute things in the exam.

plan to complete the syllabus 1 month prior to the exam & keep last 25-30 days for revision & exam.

i would suggest you to start now & prepare upto 1 or 1.5 weeks before 2nd deadline(15 th feb i presume). if you feel comfortable then go for it.

reagrding the notes, u can get them from OM or laxmi xerox. their contact numbers are well available in the forum..please go through the previous pages.

Hope it helps

@havingnot Thank you so much!! Devoting time is fine for me.. I can manage to pull that much of time for studies at least for first couple of months to be on track covering the Syllabus for the Level 1. I was just under the dilemma whether to got for June 2013 or not. If with 300 to 400 study hours one can crack the Level 1 exam then I should be able to do it. I will definitely go through the Notes for better understanding before I register for the exam.

Thanks for your response.

Folks from Bangalore, any idea if we can buy "Schweser notes" for CFA Level 1 June 2013 from Bangalore itself or we need to order from Mumbai only ?

Thanks,

Account and i have Started my own business in name of Mass Solution i have no problem if u blame Laxmi but Please don't use my nameHope U Understand, Waiting for a order from U to give the trust what mass solution give in quality & Service to studentsRegards Mansur....
I had talked to you, Mr Mansoor. You had promised to pay the money back. And you did not pay my money back. So, you cheated me.

And you had talked rudely to me, and later stopped responding to my calls and emails.

123
@ParulAgarwal Dude, I had asked number of Laxmi xerox. Dont give me OM xerox number. R u publicizing for him?
124
@andy_007 First of all I haven't shared anyone number, you can very well get anyone's contact number from this forum from where I found a few. I don't need to publicize anyone. Its your call whom to believe and who to contact. We are here to share our experiences and discuss on CFA 1 Exam challenges rather than such petty things. People can only share what they had experience with. So, please do not send such replies at least not to me from next time. Hope you understand !
125
@ParulAgarwal Hello... U had replied to my post. Check page 6 of this forum.I had asked for Laxmi xerox number but the number u gave is that of OM xerox. Dont try to pretend. Dont say that u haven't shared any number. U replied to my post. Dont mislead people. For ur info this is CFA level 2 discussion forum not level 1 as mentioned by u in above post. First of all u mislead people and on top of that u claim to be right... Please check out things before u post and dont mislead people...
