Hi everyone,

I would like to know if you guys think it is possible or - let’s put it that way - realistic to study and pass the CAIA level 1 in march 2016 and FRM part 1 in May 2016 right after ?

I have already started to study for CAIA level 1, not going really fast but still. I have classes strating in January for CAIA level 1 and I am studying wiht Schweser Notes.

For the FRM, I will study with the Schweser Notes of a friend from 2015, do you guys think I would have to buy new ones or 2015 Schweser books for FRM part 1 are good enough ?

I hold a degree in finance and some exposure to hedge funds. Currently I am not working and it is the reason why I plan on studying for these examinations. What do you guys think ?

Thanks a lot

It is definitely possible, especially if you are not working. Just be mindful of burnout.

If you want more of a challenge add CFA level 1 in June to the schedule too.

Very possible.

Thanks for the good news. That would be the way I ll be going then. However I ll have to think twice before adding CFA in June. I ll rather make it in December than in June if I d like to start in 2016.
