CFA Level 1 Study Group

Hello friends it's been very informative reading this thread and I had visited Kaplan 2 weeks ago to enquire about the CFA classes.

I think self study would be the pretty much the most efficient, effective and economical way to go?

And I concur with the idea of a regularly study group to increase the chance of passing! :)

I'd like to start the group for CFA level 1 sitting and invite those who're interested to join?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/149015195207723/

Let's get something started asap... 300 hours of study time to expend!

Cheers,
Brian

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:s13:):
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.

Hi Maisatomai... the cfaspace websai all in chinese lei... do they teach and help in chinese as well? I wonder hows that possible for some of the econs LOS... lol

i understand CFA require you to have either 4 years of working experience or 4 years of education + working experience.

is it very strict on the kind of 4 years working experience you have? eg, must it be within a bank? and if within a bank, any specifics?

Hi, I am going to be a uni year 3 student, graduating in 2014. Is it ok for me to register for the CFA 1 exam this year?
Is there any way to just register for the exam but not any courses or programs???

Is CFA institute the only way to register for the exam?

Please help!

Yes, it must be in finance. Even teaching in university is okay. You list your experience and let the cfa institute decide

Yes, you can register for l1 exam.

Yes, you can choose to self study. But purchase of ebook or hard copy book is compulsory.

I think cfa institute is the only way to register. I do not know whether service provider like Kaplan will register on your behalf or not
