As I mentioned in my previous post, not all chapters are created equal. I’ve decided to prioritize my schedule accordingly. Consequently, I have to update my plan as well. You can see the latest version here.

Also, I’ve created a Google group for our email study group for June 2009 Level 1 exam. Please feel free to email me for membership by clicking this link! See you there!

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.
