Anyone took the Level 1 exam yesterday? I'm quite surprised to see so many other candidates actually. The exam wasn't that hard to be honest, compared to the mock.

Hi,

I've used CFA Level 1 2013 Schweser textbooks 1-5; Practice book 1&2; Mock exams 2008-2013; Secret sauce and Quicksheet.

If interested please PM me.

Thanks

What are the necessary requirements to enrol for CFA?

Is a degree part of the requirement?

Ya, a bachelor degree is pre-requisite for level 2& 3. But not level 1. Many CFA candidates took level 1 before graduating from uni.

But say take level 1, then cannot proceed further to level 2 & 3 if don't have degree?

So hv to lvl l --> degree --> lvl 2 & 3
Or degree --> lvl 1, 2, & 3?

Ya. more like Degree & Level 1 (together) ---->GRADUATE degree -----> level 2 & 3

OR

Degree ---> graduate ---> Level 1,2,3

Its up to your own capabilities

Many thanks for the reply.

It's clear to me now.

So this qualifications is meant to complement Uni Degree, not to substitute it. Correct?

Anyways, if one has got a professional qualifications from other accounting bodies, can it be used to study CFA?

Take professional qualification as a niche to specialise...in this case it would be finance.

And yes, having another qualification does not restrict you from taking cfa

The number of candidates keep increasing yearly. Twenty years ago, a total of less than 50 candidates sat for levels I, II, and III combined. This year, almost 500 candidates took the exam in Malaysia alone.

500 for all 3 levels or level 1?



anyone in noesis L2 intake? I m currently looking for friends/study group, class is huge, and i iz shy to make friends.

do drop me a pm if interested.

Level I only. Last December was the largest sitting, almost 1000 students for all three levels combined.

Say, one has got ACCA, but no degree.
Can it used to study CFA?

Or does one need to have degree only then can take CFA?

If I'm not mistaken you need to have a degree.

Bravo for daring to ask to form a study group. Nearing to the exam, you will find people who wants to form study group. Don't worry

Hello, I'm planning to take A-Levels, then Degree in Accounting & Finance, then ACCA.

So after completion of ACCA, can I take CFA? Or ACCA is already enough or covered up the syllabus of CFA? Is there any exemptions on it?
