To you all who have your CFA or are close to getting it....

Through the process of studying and taking the exams, do you feel you have learned a lot about finance (i.e. knowledge that will stick with you and help you in your career)? During undergrad, I would cram for an exam, ace it, and then forget everything (not on purpose). If I go though with this 3-year process, I'd like to get more out of it than just the title itself.

Do any of you have any views based on your experience?

Thanks!

Studying for the exams? You don't learn a whole lot. But the three years experience, coupled with the exam material (which makes you more in-tune with what's going on), adds some value.

Been studying since January 2015 for the June 2015 exam. I still feel tham I'm not ready and I feel like my studying program was wrong. I read all the books and answered questions. I put off answering mock exams until the last week (which is now) and found out that I'm not as prepared as I though I am. I'm still sitting in for the exam this Saturday (June 2015) but I'm already preparing myself with the thought that I'm retaking it on December :(

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
