Ajay, you have an engineering background just like me! which one? I am an Mech. Engineer. Comming out of an engineering school obviously you have a very strong math background. You'll do extrmely well in the quant sections. The sections you'll have problems with are probably accounting, economics and ethics, so I would start with these subjects first. Know the financial markets inside and out, and believe or not your greatest challenge would probably be passing the Level I exam. Level II and III are much more analytical, and giving your problem-solving background (which is what an engineer does anyway) you have a leg on the other competitors, good luck!!! |

Hi, I am a Chinese working at a consulting company in investment group for 4 months. my background is Biology, but the company required me to take CFA, so it's really a pain in the neck. but the study materials are easy to get and much cheaper in China. I will choose Analyst Notes to study since many people use it and passed exam. |

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.
