Hi Everybody, I wanted to get a realistic approach on whether its too late to start studying for CFA level 1? I have a background in accounting & finance and I am currently working in the accounting field. I also specialized in Finance during MBA. I have to admit I am not a person who can study for long hours at a stretch. But, my quality of studying is best when I study in short intervals. So, considering all these factors, where do I stand in taking the level 1 in June? I haven't yet registered and I would really like to take it in June. I understand that each individual has a different capacity for studying but I just wanted to get opinions and personal experiences which can help me decided whether I can really take the exam in June. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

L3 candidate here with undergrad finance. You will be fine, just don't slack off or try to wing it. For someone with any education background in finance, L1 should be 80% repeating what you have learned before. 3 months is more than enough for L1. |

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.
