    We need to carve out some time from our busy schedules in order to achieve our goal.  I am was for my CFA while working fulltime as a financial analyst. It is challenging to balance a job and study, but if you are committed, you can succeed. I’ll just jot down a few things to keep in mind as you study:

    • Choose a test provider that simplifies the material and concentrates on exam-relevant information. I used Schwezer, and I thought it considerably reduced my prep time without getting monotonous.
    • If you spend a lot of time travelling in the metro or are stuck in a traffic jam, then it’s a good idea to watch some videos on your laptop or iPad during the morning commute. If you review the videos of the material you studied the prior night, it works incredibly well.
    • The most crucial fact is that passing the CFA exam doesn’t require a flawless 90%ile score. This essentially means that you don’t have to master every single minor subtopic on the test to pass. It’s usually okay to give up on something if you’re struggling with it and spend more time on things that will help you score highly on the test. You’ll need to let go of your ego because you only need to know enough here; you don’t need to be an expert.

    Simply follow these steps, and you will get good results.

    Any individual who wants to pass the CFA exam while working wonders how they would manage the study time given their hectic schedule and will they be able to finish the extensive curriculum in time or not.

    Regardless of whether you are working or not, you should always look for strategies to study more effectively. You should study for two to three hours per day to pass the exam.

    Since Level I’s content is a mile wide and an inch deep, spend your time more wisely and avoid attempting to read all of the CFA Institute materials. Separate each of the important subjects into small chunks and focus only on one at a time.

    Study notes should first be read before you begin answering practice questions. Keep a record of your abilities and shortcomings. Consider reading the entire original textbooks for those sections when you come across challenging topics. To check your retention of the material, go back and complete more practice questions. (Taking practice CFA examinations is still another useful strategy.)

    At first it seems a little impossible for someone to manage both a job and studies at the same time. Thus, I’m going to share my experience with passing the CFA while working – 

    I found a big database of practice questions to be the single most helpful study resource. I became quicker and more effective at solving questions. You can also bring your practice questions to work with you thanks to mobile technology. You don’t have to wait until you get home at night to study; you can do it whenever you have a few spare minutes.

    Many questions can be found in Kaplan Schweser’s Qbank, which also features thorough diagnostics to help you keep track of your subject-specific ability level. 

    Additionally, the Quintedge’s study material makes it very simple to practice additional questions whenever you have some extra time.

    Thus, with Schweser’s and Quintedge’s assistance, I passed all levels of CFA.

    Yes, it is possible to earn the CFA while still working fulltime. CFA is a professional education designed to be pursued during our jobs. As a CA student, I am now completing my articleship, which is roughly equal to a job. You must dedicate roughly two to three hours every day for three months, and then one month to serious study (8 hours a day).

    Also, just before tests, you can take a 15-day break to study for the CFA.

    Thank You!

    Yes, most people complete CFA level 1 and then start earning, while preparing for their Level 2 and level 3 ahead. Most people also while doing jobs in other fields like auditing, corporate finance, etc, pursue an academic journey of completing CFA with their full-time job.

    Students start preparing 4 to 5 months before their exam dates. And study for 2-3 hours daily alongside their full-time jobs and study on weekends at a stretch and take exam leave for 10 to 15 days before the exam is scheduled.

    Generally, it requires around 300-350 hours for each level of CFA to study. Practice well with full devotion and dedication!

    The answer is YES! First and foremost, you need to have passion.

    The answer is YES! First and foremost, you need to have passion. If you have a specific goal and believe that obtaining the CFA charter would help you reach that goal, then no one can stop you from achieving it.

    Let’s say you could commit to studying for two hours every night from Monday through Thursday and for three hours on Saturday and Sunday. You will get 56 hours to study each month as a result. If you follow that schedule, you would finish your 300 hours of study after 5.4 months. You should give yourself good six months to prepare, just to be on the safe side.

    You’ll be able to pass the CFA in this way along with your job.
