How much time are you taking off work to study? necessary, justify, taking, powers

Myself, not sure, maybe a day or 2. Someone suggested that I take 2 weeks off but I am not sure if that is necessary, nor if I could justify that long of a break to the powers that be. How are you guys going to take time off to study?

Just the three days before the exam. One to do the mock exam, one to review everything I'm weaker on, and one for relaxing. Mostly it's to just get away from work though and get some proper rest. I don't want to write this thing tired.

It's not really the money it is the principle.

We have tickets to the Wild and I pay less to park for the Wild then I do to take the CFA Exam and there are 1/15 the people. It is ridiculous.

Yes I will be at the fabulous Xcel Center that charges $25 for parking for the third year in a row. I actually wrote a complaint about that the first year.

CFA Exam should not be considered "Event Parking."

Yeah I think my girlfriend is going to be dropping me off this year so I don't have to deal with that again.

It depends a lot on the location I think. In MN winter season is busiest and obvious quarter end. As soon as tax day comes it is fairly quiet until mid-July.
