The CFA: Conversations, Ideas, and Approach

An SI Board Since October 1998

Posts	SubjectMarks	Bans
70	10	0

Emcee: HeyRainier	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

Here's a corner of the Coffee Shop where we can discuss the CFA program: the application, study-related questions and study methods, and plan of attack to pass the examination. We encourage all Candidates and interested participants to share and exchange questions and ideas related to the exam.

The next test is in June, so sharpen those pencils and let's get ready to hit the books. A little information exchange here on SI could go a long way in helping you pass a test that has a historical pass rate of 40-50%.

Remember, the more questions asked, the better prepared we become.

(And since this is a stock forum, maybe we can even talk about stocks to lighten the load and pass the time. With any luck, we may even select your stock to be the focus of discussion and analysis.)
