        If your finals are in June I’d say go for December. It’s not worth trying to get your degree and pass CFA L1 – you’ll risk trashing both. It may not be the fastest route but it’s much more pragmatic.

        I agree with @barbtoksv. Failing your final university exams will be much worse than failing CFA L1. It would have been better to try and take them in Dec 2019 if speed was a concern but that’s too late, so better to focus on doing one thing at a time and go for Dec 2020.

        Good luck for your finals and welcome to the CFA program!

          Depends on what your major in university is. If you’re a finance major then there is a lot of overlap so you can condense your time needed to study for the CFA. However if your major’s completely different then deferring to December may be a good idea.

            Thanks for the advice everyone. My major is in economics – not quite finance but I get the overlap thing. I’ll have a look at the syllabus and have another think.
