dear all, would it be too late for a non-finance/accounting background person to register for Dec 2011 exam in July? Any advice would be most welcome

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~

Yup, actually I have went to the website. It stated $1175 for level 1, 2, 3 & stated $420 is for first initial registration as member. Does that means (1175-420) x 3 = will get the total sum for the entire course?

How about the yearly subscription of being a CFA members?

I have decided to sit for level 1 exam in Dec. Hopefully it's never too late for the decision to be made. I have no financial & accounting related knowledge; hopefully I'm still able to cope well & wont let go easily.

I'm majoring in Marketing, more of a business background. Thanks!

Really have a lower passing rate? Sigh, I am kind of worried. Anyway, I am signing up weekend classes for my level 1. Hopefully it does help.

How do you guys register for December exam? Why inside CFA website cannot find? Sigh, I am too dumb. And, how do you guys register for its membership? Need sponsors right? What should we do? I am freshie.

How's everyone preparation for the December exam? I'm just about to start & I'm thinking to start a FB group. Maybe all December Level 1 candidates to share, to ask or to interact and learn from each other.

I am not Kasturi's student but I don't think Kasturi is able to register the exam for you. You can only do it by yourself as Sunway told me that CFA does not permit tuition provider register on behalf of student. They can only register by themselves.

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.

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

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

How come CFA thread has been so quiet? So, anyone taking Dec L1 exam?

good luck to you & those who are waiting for results!

I am just started QM this week.... pening~

No Dec L1 CFA member around eh, can't really get study group formed and discussed. :-/

Results are out already right? Come, let's share... post-exam evaluation on how you did...

Sorry to hear that.

Don't give up. Nothing comes easily in life.

Maybe you should plan your next move. To re-sit Dec 2012 or Jun 2013?

CONGRATULATIONS!
