When did you first sit for the Level 1?

A lot of people told me the average year for getting the CFA charter is 6 to 7 years. I did actually take the level 1 in 2012 too. And level 2 im 2013 and 2014; level 3 in 2017 2018…

gosh… my 20s…

December 2016

Not sure I would’ve signed up if they stated average time was 6-8 years…

June ‘16 for me and I’ve heard average is “just above 4 years” so basically one fail along the way

Sat for level 1 on February 31 of 1964

Samsies.

2014: Level 1 pass

2015: Level 2 band 9 fail

2016: Level 2 pass

2017: Level 3 band 9 fail

2018: TBD

Gambler’s fallacy?

December 2014. Considering I started studying in August that year, the CFA program was a 3 year process for me from first cracking a book to receiving the charter, with Level 2 taking two attempts. Two years is maximum potential, and yeah I believe the Institute says the average is about four years.

Dec 16

As I recall, I first sat for Level I at about 8:45 AM.

But that was in June 1997, which was a long time ago, so I may not recall it accurately. It could have been 8:40.
