CFA Level 1 Dec 2016

@Mickey13 same problem as you, the FRA part is so heavy, does somebody has any tip for improving this topic?

Hello I am starting out for the December exam too. Starting with a maths refresher course.

Also just started studying for the Level 1 Dec exam. What does everyone think about just using Kaplan books for study?

Guys..I would like to share my experience about L1 preparation. I really struggled when I was referring other materials like Wiley and Schweser but then I started preparing from Irfanullah video lectures. Trust me it did wonders for me. I made my life so easy. I was really depressed with my preparation but  Irfanullah sir really helped me. 

Actually his lectures are really costly but I got complete series for 1500-2500(usually costs more than 15000–20000). You guys can also contact following email if you need those lectures for really cheap price – irfanullah.cfa@gmail.com.

All the best guys 🙂

Guys I had finished FRA and QUANT and starting Fixed income , the thing is that I can’t remember wt i had studied ? what is your advice ? specially for FRA as the material is heavy , during study I practice the Q bank for schweser …and Iam getting crazy and very anxious !!! from nw can you imagine!

Hey @struggler – the changes for the 2016 materials for all levels can be found here: http://www.efficientlearning.com/cfa/resources/curriculum-changes-2016/

Even I started now for December exam

For level 1 and 2 all you need is Schweser. As long as you know their material very well you will be fine.

Welcome @runstudyfinance!

it will be a good idea to create a whatsapp group also.

In case you guys plan to make a WhatsApp group.. let me know.

FRA – keep calm and practice the shit out of it. Practice papers help, and Qbanks as well. It’s normal to score low at the start.

hey guys, I want to know if there are new material for 2016, can anybody tell me where can I start? I can’t get books…thanks 🙂

CFA is very easy to crack with good dedication and channelized efforts. If you make a good study plan and stick to it, nothing is going to impossible to work along. CFA preparation can either be offline, i.e)self study or classes or online i.e) by taking online classes or courses. Both the media are equally good but you definitely need to make the best of both. The syllabus for CFA is huge and is very tough to deal with if your a working professional. You need to have the right kind of balance with your study and work environment. You definitely need to have a solid plan before you start your preparation. Here are some tips which can help you during the preparation:

Prepare Intelligently

Don’t leave any topic

Use CBOK

Learn to use the calculator wisely

Strategize your preparation

Manage distractions

Practice! Practice!!!

Keep track of time while preparing

Consistency

Pamper Yourself! EAT healthy.

You can refer to these online courses also during your prep:

All the best!!

Thanks Googs. How do we create a whatsapp group?
