Guys ,

Before my Materials arrive for Level one. What can I do mean whil to brush up on some concepts. Thanks

P.S> Im a finance major
 
I would recommend to brush up all concepts: those you know well and especially those you don't. The most important is Ethics. It should be learnt well 100%. I could see that all candidates who passed Level 1 last June got >70% on Ethics
 
Depends, are you taking test in Dec? Then maybe read some of your old undergrad texts books, especially accounting.

If your taking it in June next year, then go to the beach and relax.
 
Read and print problems and issues discussed by jamespucyk. Especially his dialogues with CFAHouston. Also, if you have time, go back to November 2005 and read the posts by Upin, Rydex, and CFAZod.

Thx Lev, and it's true what he said, we have had some good discussions on our way to June '06. There is one I noted that was good, I'm not sure, who it was, but it was the components of ROE (i.e. you can work the ratio several different ways), that sticks out for me.

With a finance background I would say do some accounting review. FSA is the most demanding section on the exam (IMO). There is alot of quant material, but it was and has been (based upon other opinions and posts, quite basic on the exam (relative the material).

I used the Schweser Exam Tips of the week, which were useful. Actually they recommended many things that were true.
 
this is such a great post,guys:).

ethics and FSA seem to be the core sections for review,and critical for passing it!

hope u have good celebration~
 
Np,

Actaully between FSA and Ethics I think you are in the 40% range, so yes, they make a
huge difference.

Actually I worked it out before, Ethics has the biggest impact on your score then FSA, then Quant, then everything else and lastly Economics is only worth 3.33% per SS.
