Hi,
I will be giving my L1 exam on Dec 5. It has been two months I am studing on and off. Following is my progress:
Volume 1: Ethics - could not complete, very boring
Quant - Completed
Volume 2: Micro economics - at reading 15
I am not able to focus and concentrate on exam preparation. I am thinking of taking regular inperson classes.
Can any one suggest some in-person classes except Kaplan. Kaplan is very expensive.
 
Not to be harsh, but if you are not able to focus after that much I am not sure if you should pursue this. Level 1 is a drop in the bucket and you still have 97% of the work required to pass level 1 left.
 
Hi JDP1845: I will say it is too harsh. But thanks for the inputs. I am possitive about passing my cfa l1 in dec, 2015 and then I will plan to take L2 and L3.
Can some one please share me the plan to follow during study.

This exam does not seem like it is for you. It does not seem like you have the capability to complete. I would suggest you pursue something else.
 
Ok, so you’ve been trudging along. The exam is still a few months away. Don’t listen to the downers who’ve been posting. That said, it’s time to get going!!!
I’ve self studied, so I can’t recommend any live classes. You could try video courses - I watched the Wiley ones for Level II and the accounting ones by Peter Olinto were seriously good.
Also here’s a thread from CFA Hook Ups of a couple of people looking to form a study group in Boston. http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-hook-up/91342754
Alternatively, you post regularly on AF as you progress through your studies. We’re quite a little community. You’ll start recognizing everyone’s handles in no time at all and eveyone is quite helpful if you ask specific questions regarding the content.
Mostly though, you need to map out a study schedule TODAY and stick to it. You’ll want to have read all of the material (and done all of the end of chapter questions at least once) 3-4 weeks before the exam. Keeping to a schedule might help light the fire under your feet.
 
Cracked up at “could not complete, very boring”.
