I will be signing up for Dec 5th test here at the end of Feb. I have been going over Kaplan’s CFA Basics. It seems to be everything I learned in college in one book. The pass rate on the first test is around 40% and only 80,000+ people in the world and CFAs. But if you get it, it is better than having an MBA. The funny thing is it costs less too. I looks like you will start studying before me. Would you please let me know how good the books are and if you get any thing else to help you prepare?

Thanks,

Just one more person taking the CFA in MN.

James: Nice to hear from you and good luck! To be honest, between deciding to go full time blogging and consulting, my plans for the CFA has changed. Since I registered for it (ie paid), I will still go give it a go even though I haven’t really studied for it. It would be a long shot but I feel like I should at least show up!

In any case, good luck to you and keep me updated!

Good luck. About 4-years ago I completed my Series 7/63 licenses. Then I looked at the CFP, but the laws were changing regarding education required so I had to put it on hold.

Keep in mind, as far as services you can offer, there are regulations that go beyond being trustworthy.

It will take discipline and time, but from what I’ve discerned about you, you will do fine.

prepare yourself as early as possible because cfa level I exam not only needs knowledge but also speed to do the exam.

Lise: I’m not sure yet. CFA is more a designation of professionalism of you instead of a license to offer services. For example, you can offer services without any license as long as someone trusts you.

Emily: Study group is a great idea but I can’t commit to a regular schedule so it will be tough.

LiteDeals: I hope that level 1 will be easy and I will worry about level 2 later

Mark: It will be challenging but I’m ready to take it on!

No Debt Plan: Good luck on your side. Let me know if you need someone to talk about it with.

lena the thinker: Thank you I will need it.
