You should take it in June.  It will not be too hard with your background.

How comfortable are you with these?

Although there are only 20 questions, they are fairly representative of the exam material.

Thank you guys for your feedback.
Wianek, I took a crack at those 20 sample questions. I didn’t do any of the Ethics questions, since I will obviously be starting from scratch there, but was able to get around 75% of the other questions right without looking at formulas/notes or anything.
I am really strongly considering committing to pass the exam in June. It will make Feb-May pretty painful (because I’ll still be in school), but I think it will be better in the long run, as I’ll have more time for Level 2, and will get almost half of 2013 off from any kind of studying (which I desperately need at this point).

You shouldn’t have a problem passing L1 in June.  Read the Schweser notes, write down and memorize formulas, and do Qbank / practice tests and you will be good to go. I’m guessing you will need to put in 100 to 150 hours.
