What are the great places to work for here in the Philippines, for those who are vying for the CFA track?

Anyone taking CFA level 1 this June?

[ishwilf]

Anyone here preparing for CFA Level 2 exam?

I just passed the level 1 exam last December and will try my luck this coming June (Level 2)

I'm preparing for Level 2 as well. I thought reviewing for Level I (I passed it last December) was hard but the difficulty of the level 2 topics is on an entirely different level. More than a month to go na lang, nakakakaba na

Malaking tulong ang Schweser review materials

Go to the CFA Institute Website to answer your question. The link is here.

Thanks for the reply, botbot16!

I wonder, do most finance companies reimburse CFA exam fees if their employees take it and eventually pass?

I am currently a graduating MS (Finance) full-time student; thus, no job yet but am currently searching. I'll be paying for the exam myself, but I hope my future employer would reimburse it.

Are most examinees being sponsored by their corresponding companies?

Hi, I just want to ask if MS Finance is a good prep course for the CFA exams?? I'm having plans of taking it after I finish my undergraduate course.

I think it's a good prep course, although people with little finance background have passed the CFA exams, talagang kailangang mag-spend ng maraming oras sa pag-aaral at pag-memorize ng mga topics

Hey guys,

I'm currently self studying for CFA Level 1. What are the chances for me as an IT professional who don't have any background in finance??? Just wanna check if anyone here who has a similar situation but was able to pass. Thanks!

Ako may background ng kaunti, pero may mga subjects sa Level 1 na nun ko lang unang na-encounter pero naipasa ko naman, so I think kelangan talaga ang oras sa pag-aaral ng mga topics; and always do practice exams, dun mo ma-eestimate kung enough na pag-aaral mo para pumasa

Nice. So pure self study ka lang? Nakakatulong ng malaki ang Schwesher notes? Bka may 2012 ka, makikishare sana if you dont mind.

Nga pala, saan ba parati ang exam center sa Manila?

May nakapag exam na ba dito sa Hongkong? I'll have my exam by Dec 2012 para mahaba prep. Thanks guys!

Yes pure self study, my recommendation is to read the Schweser notes first kasi medyo sinulat siya para madaling maintindihan, then mag sample exams ka ng marami, more or less mas maiintindihan mo concepts, then browse/read the actual CFA material, then sample exams again. Also buy your calculator early para magamit mo na during your practice exams para super sanay ka na by exam day.

Ok naman magreview kasi ako I have regular work pero August ako nagstart magreview... then october na nagseryoso mag-aral... tumatambay talaga ako sa starbucks.

Our exam was in Crowne Plaza

About the 2012 notes, I think meron sa "Russia"

Anyone here who will be taking Level 2 this June 3?

[lionheart18]

Ei dude same here! Passed last December! How is your review so far?

I'm preparing for Level 2 as well. I thought reviewing for Level I (I passed it last December) was hard but the difficulty of the level 2 topics is on an entirely different level. More than a month to go na lang, nakakakaba na

Anyone who has the Schweser question bank for 2012 (Level I)?

[Crash_Dummy]

Me! Na-print ko na yung exam ticket ko... Buti na lang same location yung exam as Level I so madaling puntahan

Ei dude same here! Passed last December! How is your review so far?

I'm doing practice exams na... so far I get around 60-70% sa practice tests... hopefully before the exam umabot ng 80+% para may buffer... By doing a lot of practice tests sa Level 2 medyo natuto akong magbasa ng mabilis ng mga exam vignettes and to filter out yung data na hindi kasama sa mga tanong Hindi na rin ako na-iintimidate kahit mahaba yung vignette

Medyo ok na rin ako sa time.

Medyo hirap ako sa quantitative methods and sa pension, nalilito pa

Pero grabe ang level 2 topics sa hirap, parang ibang planeta talaga compared sa Level 1... Hindi ko ma-imagine kung how much more kahirap ang Level III
