Hi Ritika

It was nice to know that you have started thinking seriously about your future course in college itself .

Well my friend Rahul has already told you all the basic information you need to know about CFA exam ..
I totally agree with Rahul that being from a science background , is not at all a reason to be in a dilemma whether you should appear for it or not , provided you have a interest in finance . I myself being from the science background cleared level I this year in june .

For clearing Level I you just need a right approach and proper time everyday since most of the material is just basic introduction apart from some topics like financial accounting , derivatives etc where you need to have somebody to guide you for a better approach and understanding .

In case you need to know anything specific , do post your query .I will try to answer you in best possible way .

One more advice , If you are thinking of giving it this december then take the date as early as possible , since it is already september and believe me it takes at least 2 to 2 and half months of effort to crack it since pass % is bit low in december . Also you need a good time for revision , so its always better to start a bit early rather than leaving things for the last moment as most of us tend to do ...!!

've a good day

Sir,
I want to know about some good coaching institutes for C.F.A.in delhi region.... & also the preparation strategy you followed for Level-1 exams...

Hi Manika

To answer your first question , as mentioned earlier by Rahul also, the Procore, which has started its operations in Delhi recently is decent one . You can go through this website for more details: www.procore.in/

Regarding the preparation strategy, what I believe is it depends solely on an individual. Some people are more comfortable understanding things from others, some are more comfortable trying to get a hold of the topic themselves. So you should go for the strategy which you think best suits your style. It may be either of the above 2 or a mix of the two.
Well, regarding me, I went for the second strategy i.e self study. As mentioned earlier also the first level is not that difficult and 3-4 hrs daily study for 3-4 months can do the trick .
One needs to make sure that, there is ample time left for the revision (depending on person to person) as the syllabus is quite vast and especially ethics part since questions are tricky.
Doing one or more sample question papers helps a lot, as we come to know our weak areas which we can work on and also the kind of questions we can expect . I hope it helps ..!!

Best of luck for your studies ... !!
've a good day ..!!
