English5b Neutral Newbie May 30, 2009 Share May 30, 2009 Go early, park near exit to avoid jam at end of exam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsack Clutched May 30, 2009 Share May 30, 2009 Just a question. Must you be in the finance industry to qualify to even take the CFA exam? Would relevant qualifications from reputable unis suffice? I'm not in the finance industry, but would simply like to have a CFA - understanding that it takes years and some failing to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economics not a major topic for the exams...L1 and L2 about 10% of the total exams. if you took quantatitve/stats modules, it helps too. visit cfainstitute.org for more details bah.. why do you want to take the exams in the 1st place?

Parking is the least of your worries! What level you at? L1 for me was pretty ok, L2 and L3 were a different story! I've never studied that much in my life!

You can have an engineering degree and it doesn't matter, just be prepared to work hard, REAL hard! And if you successfully manage to pass all levels and am able to talk like an analyst, you can rock up to any investment bank for a job. There are not many people out there with a CFA designation, and the institute goes to great extremes to protect their exclusivity, passing the exams does not give you the CFA designation, you need relevant work experience, and not just some generic finance position, you need actual financial analytical and practical applications.
