Take CFA in Aug or Nov?
Anyone have any insight into how much time I should spend studying for this. Busy with deals so likely can only dedicate 10-12 hours a week right now. Would it be better if I took in August or November?
CFA is pretty difficult with ~40% pass rate, they recommend 6 months at the 10-12h a week rate. I'm sure you have a higher level of base knowledge so August could be doable if you can truly dedicate that much time.
The real question is why are you taking it? Unless you want AM or ER it is completely useless, and even if you want those it's a questionable use of time given you're in IB and not expected to have it.
Disagree with the above comment but I get it’s a split camp on CFA out there - truth is it’s valuable to some and would be a complete waste for others. Just assuming you’re talking level 1, i would push back to November to give yourself cushion. I started last year at the end of February and took it at the end of August, ended up starting a job beginning of August which made review (arguably the most important part) kind of lean going into the exam. You want at least 3-4 weeks of review before you take the exam, gotta factor that in.
