Hi. I need a clarification on exams schedules. Say I am registering for level 1 exams by this july end 2012 and i am eligible for level 1 exams only by June 2013. I am not clearing June 2013 exams, in this situation i will have to register again by end of July 2013 and take exams only on June 2014. I am right?

Hi Espionage,

I am going to register for L1 in a month. But before I plunge into it, I want to weigh my logistics. In the process, I need to decide if I have enough time to prepare for the same since I am into full time employment. Can you please mail me some study material/ mock tests so that I can see how much efforts I need to put in?

@ Brinda when you register in July, you will be eligible for December 12 attempt and God forbid if you fail to clear in December, you can again register for June 13 and so on. Level 1 exams are conducted twice in a year and L2 and L3 once.

thank you

@ brindha  i agree with pucca idiot...

@ sheli  atleast 3-4 hrs daily is required and atleast 6 hrs on sat and sundays.... the course is not that simple, niether qualitatively nor quantatively...... fra is most daunting..

Anyone of you who have heard about SIB- School of Investment Banking and Equity Research, I heard they train the aspirants for Job in the field of IB and Eq.R and they have got a record of around 90% placements. If you guys have any idea about this please let me know.

@ pucca idiot.. dude these course just suck ur money... the max ull get after completeing their course is a job in er or analyst at a boutique ib... forget about bulge bracket banks..get into iim/isb if u want to get there..

Can you tell the last date for registration if i want to appear in dec 12....i read somewhere that we must b registered before 9 months.....

12th Sept is the last  date. However if you are sure for the Dec attempt you should register yourself by 22nd Aug, or the fee amount will increase. Here this ll help you.  https://www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprogram/process/fees/pages/index.aspx

hi every1...was just contemplating on an issue.i have heard there isnt any value adition till u complete the level 3 of cfa,wereas the level 3 is really tuff & hardly people pass ,or they leave it mid way bczz of office or other reasons...can u help me with some facts.

1) is there any value addition wrt to completing level 2??

i am wrkng fr a commodity exchange in bombay!

@ lakes.spinyroses ...  registering on the cfa site is intutive.. all instructions are clearly given on the site.. instructions are too long to be posted here..

@ jugal CFA level 2 is the real deal... pass the l2 and u can bag decent jobs... level 3 is no doubt tough.. but from what i have read on the forums level 2 is the real deal....quitters never win and winners never quit.... simple as that...

*PEACE*

do u have any notes for  cfa? which level r u giving?
