I signed up for the CFA 1 exam a couple years ago, but ended up starting a new job with 2 months to go and gave up on studying. Now i'm thinking of taking the Dec exam (wish I had decided sooner) and am trying to come up with an acton plan. I typically work 11 hours Mon-Fri, so have limited time and energy on weekdays. In addition I'm learning a new language and trying to find a new job. At best I'm thinking I can manage 1.5 hours on weekdays, and maybe 8 hours over the weekend. Can this possibly be sufficient to get me prepared in 4 months' time? I have a general business degree and work in the financial industry, but am not in an analyst type of role. If I can get a decent amount of studying done before the registration deadline, then i'll sign up, otherwise I'll delay again. In terms of study material - can I start with some sections of my 2015 AnalystNotes material? I assume nothing has changed in the quant sections, for example I'm reluctant to sink more money into prep material before I'm sure that i'll go ahead. Should I consider going with Schweser? Any study material for the iPad would be enormously helpful as I want to try to study on my commute and during breaks without everyone noticing. |
