Hi Charlene. I came from Vietnam and really impressed with your content recently about cfa exam. I’m working as an Credit Analyst in a Retail Bank and tend to take the Level 1 exam in May 2025. But i have been wondered is it too late to start my Journey because i’m 30 yrsd. Can i compete with young candidates when i turn to 34 or 35 in this investment industry. Hope to receive your comment

[@CharleneCong]

Hi! Thank you for your kind words. It's definitely not too late to start your CFA journey at 30. Your experience as a Credit Analyst is a valuable asset. Employers value diverse backgrounds and experience, not just age. Starting now can set you up for great opportunities in the investment industry. What motivates you the most to transition into investment?

[@nguyenthinh7954]

@@CharleneCong thanks for your answering. The reason why i try to take the cfa exam is because my investing style… it was tons of failure because i didnt know the first thing about how to maânge my cash flow… FOMO… blah blah. In addition to that i think CFA is really good by providing me with useful knowledge. The only draw back is like i said, i’m worrying about my age. Thanks so much for your motivation.

Thanks for sharing, really insightful. Where did you get mock exams you used to prepare

[@CharleneCong]

Glad you found it insightful! I got most of my mock exams from Kaplan. Have you used their resources before, or are you exploring different options?

[@musicreboost]

Dear Charlene, thank you for a detailed video - please, could you advise where( in which ) is the best option to take an exam? If in my city there is no CFA centre, where would the best option to go to take an exam? Where could I find it out? Probably directly in the USA?

[@CharleneCong]

Thank you so much for watching my video and for your kind words! If your city doesn't have a CFA exam center, one of the best options is to check nearby major cities or international locations that offer the exam. The CFA Institute's website has a comprehensive list of all available exam centers worldwide, which could be really helpful for you. Have you had a chance to look at the CFA Institute's official site yet? www.cfainstitute.org/en/programs/cfa/exam/test-center-locations

Cfa are for people who has a strong maths background in their college or university. You cant enrol cfa with weak mathematics umderstanding. If your maths only gred 11 ( age 17). Not for you. My maths is only gred 9. ( age 15). In china maths are compulsory to enter univ;( Entrance Exam. Not surprised you could do cfa, with humanities degree in China univ😅) in malaysia( where i live), you can avoid maths in your Pre U exam. ( Equivalent to china univ: entrance exam) . So with just level or grade 11 maths( age 17) in Msia , You are out , cfa is not possible. 😢

[@CharleneCong]

Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's true that a strong math background can be very helpful for the CFA program. 📚 However, I've seen people from diverse educational backgrounds, including those with less advanced math skills, succeed in the CFA by dedicating extra time to mastering the necessary quantitative concepts. 💪 It's definitely challenging, but not impossible. Have you considered any resources or strategies that might help improve your math skills to pursue the CFA if it's something you're passionate about?

[@kokwahtan8577]

@@CharleneCong hi. I stop maths since 1984 age 18. My gred 11 final exam i did not registered maths. Now its compulsory to sit for maths , at least a pass 50 marks or you have no cert. . I was lucky , my time no need , still get a certificate . So.....i start to learn math by tuition starts from gred 6 😂. IN march 2023. Estimate 6 yrs to complete to reach gred 13 and undergraduate level. Only at this age i find is still hard but interesting. I had a Bachelor Political Science at a Open University in Msia. CGPA 3.56. Hopefully someday i get to do Msc .Mathematics. I read Economics too. A level books. ( SELF STUDY). As i am learning maths, maybe....i wanna tutored on Physics. Maths & Physics, great combination. Regards to cfa, not sure.

[@husseinarslan7173]

​@@CharleneCongI was failed in math and statistics, economics in the school and not very good in university in these topics. When I started the passion to get CFA charterholder, I love economics and math and I solved and understand the math.

Hi Charlene, thanks for sharing how to prep CFA exam. I wonder have you paid for the kaplan schweser cfa level 1 learning materials? They offer different packages online, don't know if I can buy their digital books separately, or it is free?

[@CharleneCong]

Hey there! Glad you found the CFA exam prep tips helpful! 😊 I did pay for the Kaplan Schweser CFA Level 1 materials, and they do offer different packages. You can buy their digital books separately, but they aren't free. It's worth checking out their site for the latest deals and packages. Let me know if you need a link?

[@alkharsa11]

Doesn't CFA level 1 have 180 questions?

[@CharleneCong]

Thank you for pointing it out! Yes, the CFA Level 1 exam does indeed consist of 180 multiple-choice questions instead of 240, divided into two sessions of 90 questions each. Thanks so much for correcting it! Are you currently preparing for the exam, or are you considering starting the CFA journey soon?

[@Ckhydroponic]
