Level 1 in December accounting, background, business, prepared

Penny-wenny

Hello,

So I have been thinking about taking the CFA this December. I have not yet started to study and just started the application process. I wanted to ask, do you think it is a realistic goal to start the process now and sit in December? I feel that it cannot hurt, because if I do not pass in December then I will be better prepared for the exam in June.

I have a basic business administration degree from a small liberal arts school. So I have a decent accounting and finance background not by no means specialized. (I have heard that level focuses on basic accounting principals).

I plan on purchasing the Kaplan package to help me get a jump start. But I would like to know if this is a realistic goal.

All thoughts and opinions are welcome!

Thanks,
