If you are reading this post, there is a high chance that you are a level I candidate just like I was a few years back. You are also probably a fast learner and an ambitious young professional like most of the candidates. The thing is, as you might already know, only about 45% of your study colleagues will succeed on the\u00a0battlefield that is the CFA level I exam day. And yes, you want to be part of it. Here are a few useful tips on how I managed to succeed while having a full-time occupation.
\nLet\u2019s begin with the most important point; there is no magic trick here. In order to increase your likelihood of success, you need to work! Hard! Of course, we all start at a different step on the ladder and you need to know your strengths and weaknesses even before opening the books. Some of you have a business background while others are engineers or even lawyers. I personally have an accounting background and that, I believe, made the study process A LOT easier. On the other hand, I barely remembered undergrad concepts of macroeconomics or fixed income, English is not my native language and I had never worked with US GAAP. \u00a0 Therefore, I knew in advance that some chapters like ethics or economics would be a challenge for me and I knew I had to get those chapters done first.<\/p>\n
