Someone please explain getting, searching, experience, society

Sorry if this sounds redundant, but from searching the forums and not getting too clear of a response, can someone link me to, or specify briefly, what must be done upon finishing the program and getting work experience reviewed?

Do I have to apply separately through a local society, or is that taken care of during the CFA application process (where I put in the society)?

I see postings saying that some deadline is due to be reviewed, is that strict, or will it be extended and on a rolling basis as volume of applications for societies is up around this time?

Thanks!
