Disagree very doable in this time frame. Just gotta be diligent and start asap.

Don't do it!!! Not enough time!!! Take the June 2012 exam. Allow 6 weeks for review. For the June exam that review start date would be Saturday April 21st 42 days before the exam.

Why not? You've done Finance beforehand so you'll be fine. I've done one unit of Accounting and I'm sitting the CFA in December.

hey - i am a CPA and did L1 in Dec 2009. I started my studies in late August and passed with flying colors.

If you have an accounting background, L1 is heavily stacked in your favor - its really "accounting 101" type concepts on there.

L2 accounting is tougher (consolidation/investments, pension accounting, f/x accounting) but you will still have a big leg up.

If you have a strong accounting background, and can give it plenty of time to study, then L1 in December is very doable.

For L1, i relied heavily on schweser notes, Q-bank, and secret sauce for what its worth. Since you are starting a little later than others, i'd advise staying away from the CFAI curriculum, will take too long to get through it.
