yeah i dint notice the part on calculator

your best bet is to buy from the UK / US

some [i]egbons [/i]on this thread used to sell, im not sure if they still do

check out bakre, even if he does not sell he may be able to hook u up

when it comes to dissecting the exam i honestly cannot say,

the exam is definately challenging,many twists and turns

and everyone has a different situation - as per time to read, finances to buy support materials and everything

all in all, it is passable. plus pass rates are on the rise - 42% for L1 this year

so there is hope

Hello Kazala, you can get the calculator from Customs Street Associate. They are a CIS tuition house. Got the pro from there for 15k and the 2plus goes for 13k. Don,t have their contact again, they are inside Victory Grammer school Ikeja. Closest b/stop is Abule on Mobolaji Johnson street.
Thanks

Tolu thanks for being there for everybody. You are really the greatest.

Dec 2010

dats great ,pls which materials are u realy readin?and i will lyke to know ur views after ur exam in dec ,pls.

sorry 4 all this question ,are u a worker or student?as 4 me am a corper n i intend absconin becoz of this exam in other 2 hav enuf tyme 4 my self.

Your knowledge base is the fundamental determinant of the time you'll need to understand the cfa currclm

You need not abscond as you cannot be reading 24 hrs - diminishing returns must definitely set in.

plus examiner says atleast 250hrs meaning if you are not working and you can do 10 hrs in 24 hrs you wld have met the advised minimum time in just 25days

Have you not read that our big mama in the house (DR Tolu) is a medico?

Start preparation now to know the pace you'll need to maintain to get there.

coincidence as i ve already stated readin and am half way in the book 1 of swezer.tanx though,i just want to xtra prepared.

hehehe sounds like me! on a serious note you dont have to abscond, most corper jobs(except those working in banks and exceptionally crazy places) are chilled and with 3hrs a day u should be good to go. the issue is consistency.

hey tolu and anyone in the house that wrote level1 june2010, i am writing dec 2010. pls can u spare me the cfa sample question for june 2010and any other cfai past questions u ave, pls treat as urgent, send to diposalvador@yahoo.com,
God bless you

^^ Bros as far as i know cfa has no "past questions" the best you can get is printed sample exams from schweser or stalla but currently cfa has sample exam on its website (you will pay for it sha) But you can bet your gonads you wont be seeing ANY questions repeated in the exam.

Mr. Jingles! long time!
i think what he wants are the mock exams they send to every candidate about 2 weeks to the exam.

001, long tyme indeed you've been too busy jacking!

^^^ we dey try!

seriously! LOL

Material on Quant is so voluminous for just 12%, but if u get the concepts right they are easy marks to snap up!

but realy 4rm ur own extensive experience of the level 1 ,which area would u say is d most challengin?

fff

for me it was not any particular area

it was selected topics in particular areas,

mostly topics that everyone found challenging generally.

i dont wanna list them here cuz it may cloud your perception when u eventually gt there in your reading 

Abi let them just discover and read all areas, so as not to be left stranded when they get in there. You might just be surprised at the questions when you face them, that's why you need to be prepared,

T, KZ wan meet you, lol, Make i book appointment?

guys take a look at dis ,u may find it interestin.
