I am going to take the exam for CFA level 1 this June. After that, i’ve intended to take the CFA Challenge with my friends. I start thingking about it, now. Can anyone give me some advice on which books or material i should read and how did you build your CFA Challenge team?
Yea, just talk to your professor about it that you wish to participate. You usually don’t get to make your own team. Your professor and local society would hand-pick good students on their own and form a team. There is no particular criteria for selection. Normally your professor would look at your academic achivements, number of finance courses you have done, prior internships experience, your stock market knowledge and stuff like that to make a decision about you.
