Pass!
Today is the day the CFA June 2008 Level 1 result is released!! The pass rate for this year is 35%. And I am very happy that I managed to pass it. I got >70% for all the topics except equity investments which I got only 51-70%. But I am glad that I passed the exam. Congratulations to fellow candidates that passed the exam!! Now I will have to wait till I graduate before I can take the level 2 exams. Hopefully I can still remember all the stuff by then...
Sharing session
Now that I have taken my first attempt at this year's June CFA level 1 exam, I feel that I should share how I studied for it. I registered for it last december and started studying for the paper in January starting with reading the CFAI Texts completing about 9 out of the 18 readings at end of Febuary. From then I was too busy with my studies and did not manage to study for it. I resumed around May after my school exams and started studying the Schweser study guide which I feel that it is very useful. On the last 2 weeks, I started doing the sample papers and Schweser test material doing a quick revision with the Schweser Secret Sauce book.
The june 08 CFA exam is over!!
Yeah finally today is the day of my CFA level 1 exams.
Just to share some of my experience of it. The exam venue at the Singapore Expo is very crowded. There are almost 6000 candidates and I didn't manage to grab anything to eat for the whole day!! The first paper began at 0900 and there seems to be quite a lot of absentees.. After the morning paper end at 1200, we were released at around 1230 after the proctors collect the papers. There the rush for toilet and then lunch begins. At 1330 we were then asked to enter the venue once again to prepare for the 1400 afternoon paper. At 1700 the paper ended and we are allowed to leave the venue.
Hope that I will pass the exam.

CFA exams approaches!!
It is exactly 7 days to my CFA level 1 exams on June 8. Though I did pretty well on the only morning session practise paper (76%) I did... , I am still feeling pretty insecure. If I were to fail or the paper is harder then the practise paper, I will be screwed but I am so bored of studying anymore. Which is the reason I am blogging now, so that I don't need to study lol. Lets hope for the best for all the candidates including me.
