I graduated last May with a degree in finance and set for L1 in June. I ended up failing in band 10. You could definitely do it though. I was working about 25 hours a week and had a pretty busy semester in school. However, I wouldn't underestimate the exam. It's not the difficulty of any individual topic, but the quantity of information you are required to know. I looked at sample questions prior to signing up and thought it was going to be a lot easier than it was. If you can put in the 250 hours that is recommended you should be good. I studied probably close to 200 and really regret not putting in the extra time.
