Hi there, I hope all of you are doing fine on the CFA studying. This is my first time to take CFA exam, I am wondering what I MUST bring to the exam on that day. I print out the permission of testing, personal ID. And what else?
 
A winning attitude and a strong desire to begin consuming alcohol shortly after 5pm.
 
i'm wondering how u guys are going to manage this? there should be an area where u can leave ur belongings yes? i know this has been asked several times... besides the necessities for the exam (pencils, erase, calcular, extra battery, ID, exam ticket etc etc) i'm wondering if i should wear a jacket (might be chilly in NYC). ideally i'd like to bring a messenger bag with all the above items, plus something to eat in between the 2 sessions, as well as an ipod or something to try to relax (also in between the 2 sessions). what would u guys suggest?
 
1) Ticket
2) ID
3) Calculator (change to fresh batteries the night before)
4) Presharpened pencils (or a mechanical pencil)
5) Eraser
6) Lunch (packed in backpack)
7) Powerbar or Balance Bar
8) Sweater in case the room is over air-conditioned.

A winning attitude (or good sense of humor) helps too!
 
So, we have 2 hours in between the morning and afternoon exam?
