I self-study for level 1, whereby level 2 and 3 I took tuition class. Questions on calculation and theory is 50-50.

icic...

btw, CFA gt expired date or not ? let say i complete level 1 but i stop for few years, then i decided to start level 2 , or i will go back to level 1 again ?

You can always continue where you left off

CFA is really a professional paper whereby each and every single little tiny bits of details you also have to know. I'm starting to feel worried for my December Level 1 exam now.

Still got 3 more months to go. You should finish reading everything by end of October and start revising in November.

r u self study or taking classes at sunway?

I am going to pay for my enrolment and exam fees this weekend. Pay by credit card rite, and got any assessment before we enrol?

I just got all my study materials like 2 weeks ago & I have been real busy running around; not yet started.

How on earth I'm going to finish everything by end of October.

I'm screwed

Nope, there will not be any assessment before enrolment but your degree certificate is needed. (Note: if you just finish your degree recently, can tell them you will give it to them later)

I'm taking weekend classes in Sunway.

Good luck to you

That's the recommended study schedule but it differs by individuals. By the looks of it, you will have difficulties finishing off everything before exam. Better concentrate in class and work harder.

You can make payment to the CFA Institute via credit card when you are online registering the CFA exam.

Yea sorry I misunderstood your question.

You can only use Credit Card to register CFA examination. (I'm not sure about other medium but I used Credit Card)

Well, of course you can. But you better consider properly before sign up because if you do not have time to finish everything (like me now ) then it'll be wasted.

Just a friendly reminder. End of the day, decision is on your hand k

hi all,
I'm considering to take up CFA exam in June 2012. My worry is that I'm a Marketing Degree Grad with 5 years of sales position work experience. Without any foundation in Finance, will it be too ambitious to consider CFA? Altho I'm willing to learn from scratch but does the reading material covers basic knowledge? I'm afraid that they use a lot of jargons which will make my study a lot tougher.

It's never too ambitious to do anything. I believe CFA is great for a career change as it teaches the very basic of things and then starts to go deeper as you proceed to the higher levels, i.e. Level 2 and 3 without going through the normal degree path.

And since you are sitting for the June 2012, there is still a lot of time for you to be studying. People usually take around 250 hours, so you should arrange your schedule in accordance to that and there shouldn't be a problem in passing at least the first level.

There are jargons but most is already explained in the book while some you might have to find out about the meaning yourself, such as finance terms like securitization, etc....

Yes, I'm too afraid it'll be super tough so I rather give more time by taking the June 2012 exam. Meanwhile I must continue working for my income. So I'm doing it as part timer. Not sure if it's better to also attend classes since I may have more questions to ask. Any recommendation which college provides the best guidance to beginner like me?

Hi,
I'm studying degree in accounting & finance at sunway right now, I'm actually more keen on finance. Once I finish my degree, could I get exemptions?

I'm taking next year so I believe still have plenty of time to prepare. Good Luck to you.

As far as I am concern no exemption.

For CFA, do you need a bachelor's degree for entry requirements or you can enroll straight after SPM?
Thx

abit lazy to type, u may find it in the first few page.

Hey guys,

Recently I have been hearing a lot of good things about Noesis in offering the CFA programme.

Besides normal classes, i heard they are offering career advice as well some personal development courses.

Found this link about the Investment Industry Career Panel and CFA Workshop - https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=199873776747458


sounds interesting. Is it worth going? Of course will consider taking up the programme with them.
