Help !!! - 10-02-2007, 02:30 PM

hi everyone !!

I am Kshitij Jain and i am from delhi..

I need some advice as to how to go about studying for the cfa test. I do not know much about the test prep and am very confused as to what would be a good reliable source to study from.

I have not regsitered yet and i am planning to take Level 1 Dec' 07.

I want to meet someone from delhi in person and want to clear few of my doubts regarding the course before i get myself registered.

I am willing to share the cost of study material as well.

Please reply asap ....

hey everyone, logging on to PG, and this thread after a really long time...nice to see so much action here! Any mumbai guys here interested in studying together? Im not planning to take the exam anytime soon, but i am quite interested in studying coz i like the topics! Lemme know.

PS: did you guys check out the advertizement in Times of India today? Page 9, i think. CFA institute has run a full-page ad against ICFAI and called it names. Makes for an interesting read. NOTE: I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THAT WE START ANOTHER UGLY DEBATE OVER ICFAI Vs CFA INST.


Approvals and celebrations will rarely surround your inner decisions and choices to follow Personal Truth. You will be challenged and taunted: “Who do you think you are, anyways?” And, indeed, through your choices and decisions, that is precisely the question you are answering–to yourself.

Hi Insane Genius,
Thanks for useful post on CFA (USA). I am planning to take the test in June 2007. My back ground is that I am completing my part-time MBA in fianance from TAPMI, Bangalore. Would be sufficient time to give it a shot in June 07.
Also if you are in touch with any one who has already appeared of the exam, I would like to get friendly tips from them.
Kind Regards,
Shanx

Hey me too looking to buy a Texas BA II plus professional calculator for my June 2007 CFA Level I exam. Please let me know if you get any info on sourcing this one cheap. I have a contact at Bangalore who sells it at 3200/- bucks, not sure if one can get cheaper than that. I am looking for an used calculator that would workout cheaper.
Person selling calc is <snip> ( Bangalore number)
