Luckily managed to acheive that since then and now looking to do cfa for better blood circulation :slight_smile: Im new to Jeddah and also looking for a study group. wishing everyone the very best. cheers FTK

Hey everyone. Atlanta area candidate here. I graduate in May with a degree in Finance. Good luck to everyone on their December results and June tests!

Hey guys, just graduated this last December. Majored in Finance and now ready to start preparing for the Level I exam in June. I have just started studying and I am halfway through the ethics part. I am seriously dreading the FSA section. What are you guys mainly focusing on and how many hours per work do you guys intend to study?

Hello Everyone, I am thinking about (read: almost sold on) taking the CFA L-1 Exam in June as well. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I have never taken a Finance class in my life and have no business background. The things going for me are a solid engineering grad degree (not sure if that helps) and a ticket punched to attend my dream school in fall to get an MBA. Since I have some free time (or months) ahead of me I want to take a shot at the beast they call the CFA L-1. Going through the forum and various posts, I realize that it is going to be a herculean task given my background and the fact that I havnt even started. As I type this it already sounds like a lost cause but I would like to give it my best shot since I have nothing better to do. Wish all you of the best of luck.
