Good self image helps the ego and personality, but CFA exam does not care. Be absolutely truthful to yourself - on what you know, your limitations and what you need to know.

I stick to my prediction. Whoever starts in October for Dec exam will fail. Passing will be an exception.
 
hey bambi, you seem to like to shorten words, FYI, the word "commitment" has one "t" not two, as in "committment"
 
greatguy, I wouldn't bet against Numi. Passing with 2 months of study time is only an exception because the candidate pool has trended toward mediocrity as the designation has become more well known.

cfastudent, get a life.

greatguy -- when I ask you for your advice, you will know. Otherwise, continue to rant on as if anyone actually cared about what you had to say -- soon you will realize you are only wasting your own time. Cheers.

People are just different, so you cannot really say how much time one needs. It all depends on commitment, focus, and a little bit of luck in the end. I passed 3 out of 3 with relatively below average preparation: Level I-around 60-70 hours, mainly Flash Cards on the subway, and Ethics from the Schweser Notes, Level II-around 40 hours, mainly past exams and Schweser CD with exams and problems, Level III- around 300 hours, all from original books and Flash Cards. So, as you can see, everyone has to decide about what is affordable in terms of time, non-time constraints, and finance/non-finance background.
