Adeosun @2017-06-15 04:23:47	Hi all - If I enroll this coming week for the CFA 1 December exam - do you think its too late to prepare and pass? Shall I aim for the June 2018 exam instead? I heard it takes a year to prepare? I completed a quantitative/finance bachelors in 2016, seem to remember quite a bit of finance still, but will need to brush up and am unsure if the June exam is too soon? I work full time but can study during the weekends and lunchtimes. Thanks in advance!

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
