        Hi!
        I want to ask you some questions
        1) Is there a time frame limit of 2 years in order to pass all 3 levels?? ( For example if you pass CFA 1 in December 2016 you should complete CFA until December 2018?)
        2) During the exams are you allowed to use a scientific calculator, a pencil and a piece of paper for the required calculations?

        Thanks a lot

          Hi @Ioannis_Moumtsakis!

          1. No time limit. Take as much time as you need.
          2. You get a choice of two approved calculators. See this guide to choosing what’s best for you: https://300hours.com/cfa-calculator-guide/

          You can bring pencils in but no extra paper. Official list and recommendations: https://300hours.com/cfa-exam-day-checklist-items#.V9xmfKnTXqA

            Hi hairyfairy!

            Thanks a lot about your time and your quick and enlighting responses!
            Do they provide to you with a piece or two of paper for taking notes or doing calculations? I suppose they do..
            After your post all sounds more easy or at least not so anxious. I was just misinformed about both the time frame and the calculators issue. 🙂

            Thanks

              you get a question book and scantron for answering the question. you can write on the book. to be honest i did very little writing. I was either using my calculator or it was qualitative in nature.
