Thank you :)

"Have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration" - From the CFA program requirements (on their web page)
This guy sucks, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
There are ways around just "getting a bachelors" which I listed below:
Have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree - or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration - or have four years of qualified, professional work experience - or have a combination of work and college experience that totals at least four years
That is exactly what Valk just said. The guy asked if he could take it as college junior, and the answer is no.
Uhhh no?
I know a lot of kids who took years off before or during college and worked part-time. There's a sophomore in my class right now who is 28 and has two levels of the CFA down.
Just because you are a junior doesn't mean you dont meet the other requirements which the other poster failed to mention.
Long shot but the correct answer is you can
If it is on the CFA website why does someone need to ask this question? College students should know how to research.
CFA at the end of Junior Year? (Originally Posted: 01/04/2008)
Could I interpret the CFA requirement of "being in the final year of your bachelor's degree program" to mean that individuals who have just completed their junior year in May are able to take the CFA level 1 in June since by that point they are "technically" seniors and in their fourth year?
I'm not at all saying I have any intention of following such a course if it were possible, but I'm curious just the same.
Yes you can sit for Level 1 after your Junior year.
How did you obtain 4 years of work experience by junior year?
You don't have to have relevant work experience to sit for the tests. You have to have passed all Levels (I, II , & III) and have the work experience to be a CFA Charterholder.
I passed Level 1 last summer and finished my senior year in December. If ER Associate is your goal out of undergrad, I would strongly recommend taking this test. Obviously you have to pass it. Saying you are a Level 1 candidate is retarded.
To register for Level 2 you must have received your undergraduate degree.
I saw the requirements on CFA.org. However, I also saw a thread on WSO, which said junior can take the exam and there were buddies who did. I am confused and hence I asked to confirm. Thank you very much for your answers.
