Currently i'm working in Perak and plan to take CFA

i can only see CFA is available in Kasturi in KL from google

So is there any other ways to take CFA? part time~nop since i'm working in perak..

is self-study possible? since the course is hardcore one and lack of group discussion~

Thx for your reply~

not necessary have to take the course and attend the classes one rite??

can be just buy those materials and self study. then register to take the test only, is that encourageble? when should i register for that? if only for the test

i've read few thread about cfa and notice that the materials will make a hole in my wallet..@@ and who are those 3rd parties?

Can i get those textbooks from bookstore? so there are only 2 textbooks for it? only for lvl1 rite?

okie, i will check the registration price and deadlines out =) are you taking cfa or you already are a cfa holder? mind to share ur experience? ty

Are you going for Dec 08? what course are you taking? is it honored? The best way is to check with your course coordinator. I Think degree with bachelor (honour) is recog..correct me if i'm wrong..hah

CFA requires knowledge about finance. if u r really interested in it. there should hav no problem given you are willing to spend time on it. It depends.

Any experienced candidates here?

I'll be sitting for June exam

It's quite simple to register for the exam. sign up in cfa website. fill in your information. register and pick an exam loc (eg Kuala Lumpur). then pay by credit card. You can view your status is confirmed within 1~2 days after payment made. You will get a parcel from the institute within 1 week.

Since now the curriculum is part of the registration fees already. whenever Unfortunately to resit for the same lvl. gotto pay for another set of curriculum? or it will be excluded since resit fee is lower than first sitting?


well, i havent get myself a TI-BAII or HP12C yet too -.- gonna look for it already

sunway pyramid

Which level you took last sunday?

personally i feel the sunway pyramid c c is not a good place for holding an exam! the dim yellow lights which also cause multiple of my own shadow on my table. It's even worse when i was trying to fill in all those ovals. After the exam, i just feel that my eyesight got bad and seeing things blurly being more than 6 hours in that condition. even now i still feel i see thngs blur

crossing fingers hope i will pass the exam.

you won't know the venue until you get your ticket which is around end of Oct =)

all da best

Thx for the sources, when will Schweser2009 be available? purchase thru Schweser website is surely cost alot. is there any cheaper way to get Schweser2009?

I've registered for coming June09 lv2 exam too. Gonna force myself to start my reading this month. Heard lv2 is a killer. Whoever is interested for some adhoc discussion, pm me~ thx

I reg thru cfa website. I will do the same if I have that cash since you are not attached to any company after you grad. it's not bad
If you really want to take cfa, check their fees and plan for it. The earlier you register for the exam, the more cash you can spend on your holiday


You hunting for L2 in coming june too?

What do you mean by "Did they inform you that the exam is gonna be in paper format?"??

you can check for the paper format in cfa website. Now, it's mcq for lv1 and lv2. essay for lv3.

I reg for KL testing center since that's the only one in malaysia. can't pick unless you plan to take it oversea

AFAIK, only paper format, no computer format.

Let me know if you got anyone selling Schweser 2009. because i'm looking for it too. i mean the "cheaper version"

what kind of source you have? any full schweser source in softcopy? wonder is there any source of schweser book 2009 full in softcopy or not

they charge you for the photocopy fees? or because it's schweser so they charge you RM1? that is too exp!!
better get the original if that's the case

PIMP pls tell me know where can i get those sourse?
2009 notes lv2

thx

that one need to pay to download one
although it's a lot cheaper than buying the original set

but any free source? heehhe, if possible
