CFA level 1 June 2019?

[Tornesoul]

Thinking of signing up for CFA level 1 June 2019 for personal interest, not sure if I will go on to do level 2 and 3.

Current job has more or less no relevance to CFA/financial industry, also dont think CFA level 1 can be used for a career switch either.

Not sure if I should still proceed? Early bird ends 10 oct.

Would appreciate all/any advice, has any1 taken purely for self interest before?

Or do you think it would be a waste in my case? E.g. I could just self study old textbooks; although the test itself would be a good benchmark to see if I truly understand



Would hardcopies of the official CFA textbooks suffice?
Are the Schweser books really necessary? Somewhat on the expensive side

Would be self funded, nil company sponsorship

Thank you!

schweser books give a more summarised version compared to the original. usually exam halls u will see people holding on to schweser cheat sheet.

do u have background in finance and econs and hows ur basic math / stats. it's very heavy the content it covers it's almost like an entire basic bach degree.

but if ure really keen and motivated u can make it for the june exam. if ure not sure, just get the books and read first then decide. no need throw money in first.

if u just want to work in the banking sector, u dun need the cfa. only certain jobs will really fully utilise the cfa which are also rather competitive fancy roles.
