Leave blank work experience in CFA L1 registration?

What are the consequences of leaving the work experience section blank in the CFA Level 1 exam registration application? I dont have time to reformat my experience to make it acceptable to CFA Institute. Can I take the exam without problems? I will probably enter the work experience later for L2 or L3 if I pass L1.

No consequences.

Nothing - I never worked in the industry and registered for level 1

Are you currently working in the industry or planning to work and wait for charter until you gather necessary experience? Just curious.

I actually never knew about the working experience thing - I just found it on the website! wow 48 months sounds like a lot for me as a fresh graduate :slight_smile: Different questions about this if you can help: should it be the same work for 4 years? I’m planning to continue my studies next year abroad and I have one year from now that I can work in - if I work in a company now and continue later in another career (academic career), would that be ok or should I stay in same position for 4 years? and for how long can you stay after you pass 3 exams without having the membership? I mean, if I hopefully pass all 3 exams from the first time, I will finish it in the next 18 months and by then I would still have around 2 years of experience required from me. Thanks Omar

Planning to work and wait for charter until 48months of exp. So I guess we can even enter the experience after passing L3 when I have the required 48months exp. Is there a limit on how long after L3 we can wait before submitting work exp?
