Past your degree 1st, or at least make it through your last year in your degree then only think about getting course or program.

A fantasy from another IB wannabie. For your information, me was a fresh graduate with 2nd lower grade degree and did not have the CFA Level I but got my first job in a top tier local IB.

I have told you before I am ain't from top ranked overseas uni.

So I follow your logic that you think CFA = top ranked uni, since you are not from top ranked uni which indicates you may not be able to pass CFA ?

Is this a job thread or a thread for CFA?

What are the price for these 2 calculators?

Why not go check out the CFA Institute's website instead of listening to hearsay? If you continue to follow hearsay, I doubt you are capable to take on the CFA Program.

Here is the reference

"Enroll & Register
1. Meet the entrance requirements:
•Have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree ◦ or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration*
◦or have four years of professional work experience (does not have to be investment related)
◦or have a combination of professional work and college experience that totals at least four years. Part-time positions do not qualify, and the four-year total must be accrued prior to enrollment. "
http://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfapr...ages/index.aspx

"Become a CFA Charterholder
To earn a CFA charter, you must:
•Have four years of qualified investment work experience,
•Become a member of CFA Institute, "
http://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfapr...ages/index.aspx

"Work Experience Guidelines
http://www.cfainstitute.org/about/membersh...ence.aspx"

Those who told you "it could be in any line of work" is only applicable when you are registering to be the candidate of the CFA Program, not to be the CFA Charter. And to become a CFA charter, having 4 years of working experience in financial line is not sufficient, you need to further prove that your 4-year financial experience is related to investment decision making.

I just got the CFA Charter. My experience is 2 years in corporate finance, 1 year in corporate advisory, 8 months in financial modelling, 6 months in equty research and 3 years in IT business consultant. With that more than 50% of my work experience qualified in "Directly involved in the investment decision-making process" and "Engaged in responsibilities and/or producing a work product that informs or adds value to that process".

So for your case, I think you still can try to appeal to prove that out of your 4-year experience which was 50% directly involved in the investment decision-making (i.e. 2 years).

-> "couldnt find any job in stockbroking/asset management industry with cfa lvl1", what so great with Level 1 that giving an illusion you will get a job in stockbroking/asset management? Any 'job' some more? Toilet cleaner? In my opinion, you don't know what you want, that is the problem why you can't get a 'job' in stockbroking/asset management.

So far I found the reading of the 6 CFA Curriculum books was the most effective ways to study the CFA program. Other non-CFA institute supplementary books may summary the study outline of the program, however the CFA Curriculum books contain the most relevant information, including the type questions going to tested in the Exam.

Good luck to those who are sitting the exam today.

Level III got ethics?

Yah, no ethics for Level III in my time

Writing after being instructed to stop is a vviolation, so the covered candidate would likely have his/her exam result void.

Congratulation to those who have passed your exam recently.

I am broke because of that

I have to pay fees to get the chartered title, so I am broke .

How much the fees that we need to pay for this the usage of the practice questions from this website?

I see, US$150 quite expensive

If you are a degree-graduate in finance, maybe you don't even need to study schweser notes or doing any MCQ practices, just right away go for level I exam .

Wait, you have to read a bit on ethics, forget this is taught in the degree program . If you think you are very ethical person, you can even skip this ethics, haha .

I got all books for 3 levels, but no one wanted to buy me nice meals for these books, because they are all outdated due to CFA Programme's syllabus changed frequently.
