Expected. It's a collaboration between Sunway TES and AB Maximus. They will need to charge higher, if not, cannot break even/profit. But do you know the figures they are charging?

hello all, may I know approximately how much does the whole CFA course cost? I'm having sime planning to finance my CFA; that's why need it. TQ~

Guys, reading through the level 1 textbooks is easier? Or should I buy other textbooks for reference? Was thinking whether the textbooks provided are sufficient or not, what are your recommendations? If not, I will probably just opt for the E-book version and buy other books for study, saves me 20 bucks man, dayumn.

Ima registering for next year's June paper, asking opinion from experienced candidates dawg.

June 2012 exam is open for registration

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.

does that mean that with an ACCA alone, it isn't considered a "degree" that is required to continue level 2 cfa and have to obtain 4 years of experience before continuing?

doesn't seem to make alot of sense here ><

i know, so whats with that 4 years experience?

if u get ur ACCA do u still need 4 years of experience before doing cfa. i don't think so right?

that means i can apply for level 1 even though i dont have any qualifications? not even a degree?

My friend did his ACCA only, no OBU. We're going for Level 2 next June.

Just give you an example that when a candidate applies to become CFA Chartered, he asks 2 sponsors who are his friends to bull shit that he has enough experience but actually he is not qualified yet. So he attains his CFA Chartered by lying. If later the CFA Institute find out he was not telling the real experience, the CFA Institute cannot take action against him because it had approved his application before? I thought we believe the wrong doer will pay one day, it's just matter of time.

"They should have a standard way of determining it" is not adopt by the CFA Institute. Even the minimum passing score ('MPS') are flexible to be determined case by case basis in the discretion of the CFA Institute. The CFA Institute mentioned that "The size of the group, its diversity, and its reliance on independent judgments contribute to the power of standard setting results.", so do you still believe that the passing score is 70% mark? The CFA Institute further mentioned "Neither the Minimum Passing Score nor individual candidate scores have ever been released", so it is not transparent how the MPS is set and it is up to CFA Institute to take the necessary decision..

my name is named wrongly.. will that be okay? let say example

Xxx Yyy Zzz

normally this is our name, the first letter of each of our name is capital

but my name they name it Xxx Yyy zzz (my final of the 3 of my name first letter is small letter - will that be ok?)

New regulations are only to bring your Passport. That will be the official identification as well as the admission ticket.

and Yes...don't mess with da proctors...

U meant malfunction?

What i meant is the battery has finished.

Can you guarantee that the battery inside my calculator can last until I leave the exam hall?

Possibility still exists.

By the way, do you know where to buy it?

Kinokuniya? I thought of that place as well.

thanks in advance.

there are people who bring in calculators x 2, screw drivers, spare batteries, but generally they don't use em. There are other approved calculators as well....

Generally what are the things allowed inside the exam hall? Anything else apart from passport, exam admission tickets, HB pencils & erasers?

True. My friend kena

i remember the formula.. but i still need calculator to input the numbers..

and to computer IRR.. without a calculator.. swt..

btw kinwing.. not scoring >70% doesn't mean fail right? I think you could score <50% and still pass.. i read somewhere that this is not the marks.. but the percentage of which group you are in.. meaning you can be in that group and still pass.. i'm not too sure

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.
