    Course Study Plan Guide

    May I ask whether you need to pass it this year? I would say give yourself 6 months at least because unlike the CFA level 2 and 3, this exam is offered twice a year. By delaying the exam for another 6 months you may end up increasing the odds of passing, this is assuming you remain disciplined...

    I'll be honest with you @David Harper CFA FRM , Basel stuff bored the heck out of me - though it's a necessary evil. As for the rest, not boring at all indeed.
