      So I signed up for Level 1 coming up this December.

      I have 3 months.

      Problem is, I have no background in finance whatsoever. Zero.

      According to my schedule, I can afford to put in 450 hours. Is this enough? Am I wasting my time?

      Also, given my non-finance background and limited time (3 months), do I go with the CFA books or do I use Schweser only?

        I haven’t purchased it yet. I don’t want to purchase the online option if I can’t print anything. I would rather wait for the printed materials via delivery.

          Thanks for the feedback guys, I ordered the printed materials. I found out that Schweser has distribution partners in the Middle East and they said I will have it within 2-3 business days 🙂 So I can officially start to study on Monday, which will give me around 12 weeks until the exam. I hope that will be enough for someone with no background in finance at all. All the material will be new to me, me losing out on studying this week means I will just have to work a little harder on weekends but should still be able to put in 450 hours. Hope that will be enough.
