        Not to put anyone down but its funny how the US/Western education system(s) is viewed in Pakistan and for the most part in other frontier market countries. @Farooq‌ I guess, you would find CFA (which for your information is a US Exam) a piece of cake compared to your difficult Pakistan exam.

          hey @Farooq‌ 

          1. Never really thought about the difference to be honest. There was one process and that was it.

          2. I think you simply tick a box during the online registration process.

          3. Not sure, I paid online. I think to be safe you should aim for CFA Institute to fully process the whole registration by 20th Dec.

          4. If you have a bachelors degree already that should work.

            The problem is that in my country Bachelors is 2 years, but I guess CFA requires 4 years bachelors.

            @Farooq‌ Generally if you have either 4 years’ worth of high education and/or professional experience, OR a bachelor’s (or equivalent) you should be fine. From your comments sounds like you already have 5 years worth of education so you should be fine.

            Out of curiosity, if your bachelor’s degree is 2 years is it equivalent to a 4 year degree in the US?

              @Farooq‌ No Man, I wasn’t offended. I had a similar dilemma  when I first registered. What I did (which worked for me) to rectify that is to email CFAI directly. They are super helpful. Although, I advice you not to tell them that your degree was more difficult than US degrees.

                @christine yes I have more over 5 years worth education. I am just not sure which option to select while registering :smiley: 
                No, on papers it is only one year of the US bachelor. Pass rates and difficulty level wise it may even be above US bachelors 😉
