Hi Banks1,

Congrats...

At least, you have reminded us that anything conceivable is achievable. Congrats again.

I am pressed to say how impressive your achievements have been till date, but I don't want to expose you because of the 'confidentiality' clause we both agreed on.

Congrats thirdly!!!

kazala: Banks1@,
Abeg tell us ur strategy. Did U rely on curriculum or schweser?

Thanks, st2clem,kazala, omaojo, my strategy was studying, understanding and conceptualizing the syllabus. I.e rather than just learning each subject, I try to understand what the Learning outcome statement were aiming at, looking at its relevance in practise, who does it in practise, ( e.g equity or fixed income analyst, portfolio manager, e.t.c ) and why they do it. This could only happen if you have a passion for the industry rather than the CFA being a quick fix to a higher salary. Don't get me wrong those without passion also make all levels at one sitting but they still have to understand each concept thoroughly to get the 70% to get a guaranteed pass. I also had my tuition from one of the best CFA tuition providers in the world....I think..lol. I also read numerousliterature on finance and its history, all these consolidated my knowledge. I also did put the grueling hours required to study the syllabus.

Before I forget thanks T22, 'confidentiality agreement' LOL.

I do forget to post this in here. Often times, a lot of peeps are willing to write this exam but are not able to do so usually due to financial incapacities.

Anyways, CFA does offer scholarships. I write to be corrected that we ain't got a good number of 'CFA Profs' in Nigerian universities for that would've made access much easier i.e. 5 candidates sponsored per professor.

The sponsorship for the 2013 exams just passed by some days ago. So for constant 'posters' here, it'd do well to bring this up again. The 2014 scholarship will be available as from February 2013. Hence, those who are still in school or are still 'planning ahead' can take advantage of this. It's not a difficult process per say but you'd have at least a sponsor who's not your relative and some little details of your annual income, family income, why you intend to write CFA and why you deserve such scholarship.

seunshow00:
What do I need to have to register?
How much is the registration fee?
How much is the exam fee?
What is the pass mark for each paper?
Is there anything like student annual subscription?
If yes, when is it due and do I need to pay even if I am not writing any paper in a particular year though one is register?

seunshow00:
Is there any exemption for members of ICAN/ACCA?
No, even if you're a professor.

seunshow00:
Where are the lecture centers in lagos?
How much is the lecture fee per paper or per level
There are a few lecture centres located in Lagos but most I know of are located on the Island. Google them up or search on Facebook for some of 'em and ask for their charges.

seunshow00:
How often is the curriculum reviewed?
Annually

seunshow00:
What other materials can u recommend for me to study with?
There are 3rd party materials like BPP, Elan Guide, Kaplan Schweser etc but they remain what they are, they are not official.

Some people have completed the exams with -
1. Only CFAI official curriculum texts.
2. Only 3rd party materials.
3. Combination of 1 and 2 above.

Some use these materials along with video lectures.

To each his/her own!


seunshow00:
How many level do we have in all?
Three

seunshow00:
How flexible is the exam arrangment?
Can one write a paper instead of the total no of papers in a level?
Is there any thing like credit system for result where one is credite with papers passed and allowed to write only the outstanding paper?
How many diet or slot of exam do you have in a year?
There are three levels as I wrote earlier. Each levels have fixed number of 'papers' in it and aside the Level I which can be taken additionally in December, exams are written every June (the 1st Saturday).

It's not like ICAN/ACCA - here, you write each level and pass it according to their standards. The papers have some weights in each level so they're all tested on the exam day for the particular level. If you write one paper and leave the rest, that's sure banker for failure. grin

Once you've registered and paid for the exam, you cannot withdraw your application except for 'excruciating' reasons. So think well 'cos your money will not be refunded.

Peace cool

Re: CFA Candidates In The House by bukkytroni: 9:53pm On Oct 06, 2012
Distinguished forumites,

For those writing December 2012 CFA Level 1, my advice to all candidates is, STRIVE TO UNDERSTAND, because if you do, in my opinion, YOU CAN PREDICT YOUR RESULTS. And please, dont joke with those CFA Institute guys, they are getting smarter every year and seems like the exam is getting more difficult and complicated. But if you understand well enough, no matter their wayo, YOU WILL ALWAYS COME OUT IN FLYING COLORS.

Cheers
