thanks for your reply, vivek! really helpful.

"Have a U.S. bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree
Or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration
(Note: education information must be updated before progression to Level II)
Or have four years of qualified, professional work experience
Or a combination of work and college experience that totals at least four years."

That's the requirements according to the CFA website- it says "four years of qualified, professional work experience". So since I've already been working for four years, do I not meet the requirements? What sort of "qualified" work meets the requirements?

Another question- does the 4 years of experience required to be a charterholder have to be AFTER you clear the exams or can it be before that too? Basically, does my previous work-ex qualify?

Thanks again in advance!

Your work exp should qualify and will be counted once you certify that you have a professional work exp which can be verified with supporting documents. You need to provide documentary proof to CFA institute while requesting charter after you complete L3.

Several bankers / traders take up CFA after 3-4 years of work exp, which is taken into consideration by the Institute while awarding charter to candidates. Hope this answers your second question.

Cheers,

* break of 2 hrs. its always better to get something to eat from home. otherwise you'll have to spend a lot of time which you could have used to relax a bit.
* afternoon session was also on similar lines to the morning session. ethics was bit complex. FSA involved some calculations. rest of the paper was again concept based. overall moderate level paper.
* schweser seemed to be enuf for the preparation. there was no fight for the time as most of the questions were simply read and answer types.
* two back to back exams becomes tiring and u start feeling it in the last hour of afternoon session. so its always good to keep all the formula in mind which can save a lot of efforts in the last minute.
* overall exam went peacefully and CFA conducted it very well. the paper was in between easy to moderate level in terms of difficulty.
* ethics is the key. a lot of questions are based on subtle difference in the exact meaning of some terms such as fair dealing, conflict of interest, priority etc..

i have no clue about my performance but i know that i could have done better

all the best to Dec aspirants....


do ask any questions related to the june exam. i'll be glad to answer them asap ..

hi,
i am going 2 appear 4 dec09 exam.
Bt i am confused abt the type of score CFA provide.
Can i get the detail from them who have already taken it

Hi
You do not need to have work ex to give the CFA exam. You can get the work ex afterwards also.

Yes your 3 year degree would qualify as well.

And yes you can use any one's credit card. All that the institute cares is that the money is paid. They dont care from whose credit card the payment comes.

Best of luck with the exam dude !!

Right now the Mumbai center is not available. That might be available incase the CFA institute again takes a stay at the High court. ...
