Go down to Kaplan@starhub center to ask them which suit you the best. Some need only qbank, some need study note, and some need video to pass...

Hi, I also want to take CFA Level 1 in June 2012. Thus, I think it would help a lot with a group study. If you dont mind, care to form a group?

Hi

I am going to register for the june 2012 exam. Would there be a significant difference if I were to use Schweser 2011 instead of latest 2012 edition?

I called up Kapland and they did tell me there are changes in the content between 2011 and 2012 edition and I should sign up for the tutorial class (most likely wun sign up).

I might be gg down to their intro talk tomorrow evening

i wanna take cfa level 1 too... haven't registered yet... any1 knows if the location can be changed after registering? not sure to take in sg or aus...

Change in LOS usually 1 or 2 core readings. You can just use the old schweser 2011 and as for the 1 or 2 core readings, you read the textbook.

Ho Maisatomai, Thanks for the quick reply! I guess I shall not spend unnecessary money getting the new version

 

[maisatomai]

Actually some China website like cfaspace.com super helpful for CFA study.

My strategies for CFA (From a person who scored near >70% for CFA 1,2,3 and cleared the 3 papers in one shot):
CFA L1: Attempt all of Schweser Qbank+past year paper. Make sure you know what you are doing. Understand the concept not memories the concept.
CFA L2: Attempt all of Schweser Qbank+past year paper.
CFA L3: Have superb time management. Most candidates fail because they cannot finish the paper.

I heard that Stalla books are closer to the CFA exam content since they have good relationship with CFA. However, I can't find the link to download Stalla notes? anyone know, plz help me (older versions, like 2009, 2010, are still fine with me). thks
