Plan For CFA Level 1 Exam Posted
I’ve posted the plan that I’ll use to prepare for the CFA Level 1 Exam in June 2009 here. This plan will be updated daily. At the end, I’m hoping to record how much time I will have spent preparing for this exam–it’d be interesting to see whether it gets anywhere near the 250 hours figure–my guess is it’s probably gonna be a lot higher.
The Excel sheet (well, Zoho sheet) is part of my overall strategy: it’s smart enough to expand or shrink the plan, depending on whether I underestimate or overestimate the time it takes to finish an activity. That way, as I update the plan, I always get immediate feedback on how the update is going to affect my schedule.

Curious as to your goal with the CFA exam. Working for corporations or yourself or …?
I’m interested in the CFP certification… but got to finish my MBA first.

Working for corporation
The CFA is for myself though. When are you gonna finish your MBA?
