So How Much Does Doing Level 1 Actually Cost?

Andreas42

From what I gather its something like:
CFA registration  $1000
Schwaeser Books  $600
Calculator  $40
Are these correct?
I am thinking of getting work to pay these for me and want to understand whether it is worth it before starting the process…. which requires sign off from a zillion people

^I agree. My work only reimburses the cost of actually taking the exam and I believe it is only if I pass. You can get the actual cost of taking the exam from the CFAI website and it gets more expensive the longer you wait to register.

It’s worth it to do the samples and mocks in the weeks leading up to the test, I think the two mocks are $100 and there’s two samples at $60 each I believe.

Let’s just say you’re making ~$40/hr at workwhat’s your free time worth?
Shouldn’t you take that into consideration before getting the zillion signoffs?
