NYU-stern graduate - studying for CFAI forward, studying, version, purchase, recently

Hello people,

I recently graduated with a Masters of Science in Finance from NYU-Stern. I have all my securities licenses. Just landed a new gig, pretty hectic at work and have about three months to get ready for the CFAI. Any tips on preparing for this exam? Does anyone have the audio version of the level 1 that I can purchase from?

Looking forward to hear some good tips =)

Best,
Yen

Thank you! I know, I am in a time constraint. Crazy work hours and I am trying to purchase audio books if anyone has them! So when I am at the gym or commuting I can listen to them! definitely will read the summary ;) Thanks again for your advice!

In my opinion, three months is the ideal time to study for level 1. But this is just me, and I've never been one to study for long periods of time. It's not too late to pass it, you have to adjust your study schedule according to your background and the amount of time you can study every week, and get to it.

You have more than enough time. I have a similar background and used Elan's Ultimate Pack for 3.5 months with a full time job to pass the exam pretty comfortably this June. Just put in some solid hours and be disciplined. You'll be fine.
