There's a 10% component for Ethics in Level 3. Maybe they didnt test it during that session.

The ones that contribute to malaysia's failure rate.

very difficult due to my below average result 
any suggestions or recommendations? or advice?

That makes getting a CFA level 1 sounds so good!! Then Level 2 equals to master's degree, and Level 3 is PhD?

Hmmm.can I ask after I fnish double degree accounting and finance, can I further study to CFA ? And if can, how many yrs is needed ?

Guys, Im wondering if i ca take the dec 2012 lvl 1 exam and then take lvl 2 after 1-2 years later?

Hi all, I have an inquiry. I'm currently pursuing my 4-year bachelor's degree program in USM. Is it against the rules if I register CFA level 1 exam for December 2012 now since I'm not a final year student officially yet (my final year starts around September 2012)? I can enjoy greater discount if I register before March and get textbooks earlier. I'm already in final year of study at the time I sit for the exam. My program consists of 8 semesters, however the whole eighth semester is meant for industrial training/internship, so do my sixth and seventh semesters count as final year of my program to meet the requirement  for registration of CFA level 1 exam. I'll start my sixth semester this coming February so I still able to register before the 1st deadline of March.  Please advice.     
P.S. I did email to CFA organization but the reply  (as shown below) is somehow not so specific to my question
"As long as you are in your final year of your degree program, then you can register for the CFA Exam. As for the discount please see the link below on the reates and deadlines imposed by CFA institute.

Thank you.

Guys, I'm keen to enroll CFA and have some clarifications:-

(1) Will I have sufficient study time if I enroll now for Dec 2012 Exam on level 1? I have no idea on the volume of the study materials.

(2) Does the passed subjects have an "expiry date"? Eg. If I passed Level 1 and decided to take Level 2, say 10 years later, surely the institute will ask me to retake Level 1, no?

(3) How do I make withdrawal from EPF for the fees? I understand that EPF require certain documentation for the submission. Does such documentation be generated automatically once I register under CFA website?

(4) I live in Penang and there are 2 choices which I can attend classes on CFA: one by Ooi from MRR and another via videoconference from Noesis. For those in Penang, which one is better? MRR would provide better personal coaching but I would think a larger setup like Noesis would have better updated materials.

(5) The CFA website stated that the e-book will "void" after 5 years. Does it refer only to the on-line version or even the pdf version will not be accesible from my computer after 5 years? Wouldn't that mean it's better to buy the paperback version? Or should I just buy the e-book version, which is cheaper, and get it printed by 3rd parties.

Thanks alot fellas!

(1) What about yourself? How much study time did you dedicate for Level 1 average per day and how many days you took for the exam? I'm a Commerce graduate, a CPA Australia and 10-years corporate finance experience. I just wish to get a gauge to balance my work-life.

(2) On "expiry" issue, what I meant is that if I decide to take the next step much later after passing the first, due to reason such as work/family/financial commitment etc, and not because I have failed after repeated takes (none to begin with). Will the institute say that since the materials get refreshed regularly, I am required to re-do level 1 if I decide to register for my level 2, say, 7 years later. Has this occur before?

(3) Do you attend classes? Or do you think these classes are "passable", ie you can manage the same without them.

Hi all, I would like to know, if a medical practitioner of Malaysia (who has finished his 2 year housemanship + 5 yrs degree of MBBS/MD locally) is qualified to register for the curriculum/test, and eventually become a charterholder, if he/she manages to pass the 3 levels?

im a kasturi student, i would say pretty good so far !

Added on March 1, 2012, 2:04 pmwhen i researched, kasturi has the around 150 tuition hours (including exams) while sunway only has about 80-90

hi all, sorry im newbie here and been doing research whole day. a noob question here:- can i know the entry qualification for cfa? Im currently just graduated from business & commerce degree, am i entitled?

But what you've learnt in CFA will definitely add value to your job. I know you'll move up the ladder fast.

Not that bad lah ... there are quite a number of events every year:

- AGM/dinner
- New Charterholders ceremony
- CPE courses (around 4-5 so far in 2012)
- A few social events (wine, bbq, etc.)

The last event was poolside bbq at KL Hilton.

The CPE courses are useful, esp. if you need points for SC licence.

Every year, they siphon USD325 from me (or rather, from my employer heh heh!). So they'd better give back something! If you are a member, better confirm that they have your correct e-mail address.

+1 to your relative. Having a CFA to your namecard looks cool but won't carry much weight. Not the textbook knowledge, but it is the 4-year related experience that you accumulated is the more important and relevant.

Has been  many times hearing stories of newbies (passed CFA L2/L3 examination) using  textbook materials to support their arguments or other things 

No, i dont mean to follow her pathway, just inspired by her dedication of studies. I think ACCA is the trend now. haha

I just want to work as consultant/advisor of anything instead of working in an office, i prefer work freedomly where i can arrange my schedule follow what i like. Studies others just to borden my knowledge or maybe can apply in the future as well.

Thanks, just to clarify, if some jobs they posted:
Does professional qualification mean Level III? Or even just passing Level I or Level II is having a "professional qualification"?
