Re: Need some Opinions on CFA. - 15-07-2009, 07:20 PM

Hi I am Gautam . I am also looking forward to appearing for the CFA level 1 June 2010 exam possibly by the 'feb deadline' which is mentioned at the international website for CFA.

I want to know if I am eligible to appear for level 1. I would be in my 3rd year of Btech. 21 years in age at the time of registration.

Waiting for a quick reply...with thanks.!!

Hi,
You must be waiting for the results with your fingers crossed..anyways hope you get through with the exam...
I know I will have to put in the efforts required... I was also planning to study on my own...tried my hands on 'Financial Reporting'.. found it okay at the starting... dunno howz it going to be as i move ahead(definitly it is going to be tougher)...
Wasnt it difficult for you to study all by yourself..or you must be having some company...?

I was in the same boat as you are in right now... I studied on my own... waiting for the result.. hopefully would clear...

Hope that helps..

I was trying to register for DEC L1 but cud not due to the credit card problem.
I gave the credit card no., card holder name, expiry date . It is VISA credit card.
Yet it did not take up the payment and the message I got was plz contact ur credit card company. Can anyone help me in this regard as to what happened. The card company is also clueless. Should I use a different credit card or something?? Anyone can tell me whats wrong here.???

Hi All

I am planning to go for CFA and cant decide whether to appear for level 1 in dec or try in jun. i am a BA graduate so its a new thing for me. please advice if it is practically possible for me to clear Level 1 with just 4 month preparation. i am a full time employee but i can devote 3-4 hours daily. Is it good to join a coaching institute, if yes than what all are the options in Delhi.

Regards
Sobbey

just visit CFA institute website click on enroll rest is self explanatory

can i make an online transfer or do i have to use a credit card only?
You can make payment using credit card (VISA or MASTER) thats most convenient (you will have to pay 3.5% for internation payments)

do i have to send any paperwork to cfa institute ?
No paper work required ..entire process is paperless ..just make sure you notedown your CFA account user is and passowrd . In November you will get your exam tickets online. Just carry its print out and along with government issued I Card ..


now will they send me the study material...???

Yes you will get set of CFA books at your postal address ( so make sure you enter the right postal address). Normally people get books within a week.
