Hi Folks,
Wanted to start a discussion for all who will be taking CFA level 1 exam June 2016. Let's use this thread to get in touch with other CFA aspirants, discuss study strategies, and share tips, advices, etc.
I think we don't have much time left. How's everyone's preparation coming along? I've just finished readings 1 to 4 on CFA codes of ethics & standards and GIPS standards and now moving on Quantitative methods.

Hi!
I am too taking up CFA Level 1 in June 2016. Though I took it previously and my band (score was 10). Biggest reason for my failure was I avoided quantitative methods completely.
Few take away:
1) focus a lot of scoring full or at least 90% accuracy in Ethics, FRA, Economics, Equity &Corporate Finance. People with quant background can include quantitative methods too.
2) Mock tests are must.
3) Build up stamina as it involves nearly 9 hrs. 3 hrs two session. one hour prior to exam starts and one hour of break between two sessions.
4) Materials Schwesers, finquiz,etc.
Do pm if you need the access or sharing of few materials.
Regards
Celestial
(Kudos if its useful, will update a lot more in coming days)

Thanks for coming forward and sharing you experience of previous attempt. Any word on Schwesers notes? A lot of folks have recommended them but I am not able to decide yet whether to purchase them. I've already received a complete set ( 5 volumes) of books from CFA institute and it seems to have everything. How would you compare Schwesers notes with official CFA material? ( if you have used both in your earlier attempt)
