CFA is the course name still and MFA is the degree given at the end of the course or is this something new you are talking about ?

hello frnzzz:grin:
i m cat 2008 aspirant
i hav just started wid quant prep...and findin it interesting......started wid shortcuts an vedic maths......plz suggegt more tips to improve speed and concepts... i know practice is the best tool.......
plz advice for other section also...

For the DI the trick lies really in identifying the questions which are to be done , every year students tend to attempt DI questions which were never meant to be done in the first place , so pick up last year mocks and do those questions or sections , no amount of quick calculations can substitute clever decision making.

I English the difficulty level tends to be very high so be more familiar with complex words in Novels and editorials and in wha context they have been used , also drill into the concept of mandatory pairs and master it.

I'm pretty hopeless @ Quant so won't advice you on that one though.

TIME is by far and away the best , it's the best if you're and engineer and if not then even better as the TIME crowd has intense competition amongst themselves and the quality of students is far superior to any other institute.

and whatever you join buddy , please avoid CL , it's quite pathetic.

Gave my CFA Group A financial accounting paper today in Delhi - anyone else out there who gave this paper today ??

try the CAT thread for your query - this is thread for CFA specific discussion

Just to clarify a fact - I had attended the Welingkar selection briefing in Delhi and this question regarding scores of different entrance tests had come up , to which thy replied that therrrrr a exam evaluation system available with a central authority (dunno specifics) and scores of all entrance exams which are accepted are then converted into a common measure and a limit is set which may turn out to be similar or different for CAT and XAT.

Puys , I'm extremely sorry to barge into the serious FMS discussion , however I'll be grateful if someone might inform me regarding the status of the Percentile cards , I'm for certain that I missed FMS by a whisker and would be using that percentile mark as a parameter for next year .

My application form has been finally received by the welingkar authorities , now can anyone tell me if there has been an official word from welingkar as to when they will bring out the shortlist ro is it still speculation as of now.

Btw , I have 82.50%ile In XAt - seniors , do I have a decent chance.

i think ppl here don't know much about Master of finance & control(MFC) by Delhi university. this is also a very good course to get a great start in the field of I-BANKING. here ppl are only discuss about CFA. I think this type of course should also be discussed here. another important thing is that u can see the cost in this course Rs11000/annum. it is comparable if not more to the MBA(finance). it is a very specialized course bending towards finance.

MFC is the proper equivalent of an MBA finance which is offered by DU , The other entrance test conference has a couple of extensive MFC threads , please go through that as it might be of help to you

CFA certainly is tough and needs regular study - I don't know if you can manage an MBA and CFA together but what I do know tat it'll be very stressful .

something you can do is to subscribe to CFA and then take your sweet time with every module as it has a span of 7 years.
