Thanks for starting this thread. I have registered for the June 2009 - CFA Level 1 exam. Have received the official CFA study material from the CFA Institute.

With good amount of time on hand, I was wondering whether it is a good idea to begin with the official study material and then move on Schweser prep material. Would this complicate the study pattern or not, I am not sure?

Kindly advise if somebody has any ideas/suggestions.

Please reply asap..

There are no centers in India as of now, I chose Kathmandu. However, if one is available in the near future, you can apply for a change in exam location free of cost.

Okay, let me get on with understanding how much has changed wrt the syllabus between the Dec 2008 and the June 2009 exams. Will keep you posted.

Thanks.

Rajaram,

You can make use of your ICICIBank CC, if its a VISA, Mastercard or American Express. It should work.

Good luck with the preps.
