You are way ahead of time and right on the track. 5-6 hours a day if you prepare, you can even try for Dec 09 exam.

Yea,i thought of it too.....but it ain't worth it as i have no prior core knowledge of finance.Therefore i decided on appearing for june'10.

Cheers

Jatboy. If you have the curriculum read by December to a point where you understand everything. You don't need to know it, just understand it.

If you aim for this you will be ahead of almost everybody.

Even with a non-financial background?Do u actually believe 5-6 hrs a day would be enough?

Thanks again

You have 9+ months until the June 2010 exam.

9 months x 5hours per day x 23 days (assuming you take days off) = 1000+ hours

I think 300-400 hours is sufficient, albeit more than enough. But to each his own.

1.)Economics - I was reading it even the day before the exam, its a devil in disguise.
2.)FRA - 2 weeks
3.)Equity & Fixed income - 2 weeks


If you spent more just asking questions and waiting for each and every person on the forum to respond, you wont reach your goal buddy.
All the best!

Take the dec exam, if you pass great, if not all it costs you is the price to registar again. 2 shots at the exam is better then one

Equity& Corp Fin 14days/ 2hrspd

Fixed income 5days/5hrspd
