a common Study plan to begin with ?

[aakash]

Hey Friends,

How about following a common study plan for a month and see how it
goes for us ?

I mean something like this :
week 01: Quant first 2 chapters and Fixed Income : first 2 chapters ?

or like follow the reading sessions , coursewise - as mutually decided
and proceed as per the given schedule ?

And then discuss our doubts here ?

cheers!

[prince18]

i have a doubt. to study quant or to solve quant problems, do i need
any special calculator or i can solve it in normal calci..

[aakash agrawal]

its much easier to solve problems like say TMV with TI calci as approved by CFA institute.

 

also it will be a good idea to get accustomed to its setting.

[prince18]

thnks for the info. which calci should i buy and where can i purchased
it in India or Bangalore????????

i hv been using Texas Instrument BA plus II professional calci ( recommended on the CFA institute page also) . there is a HP product also recommended, but i hv least personal experience of using it.

 

i bought it from the TI dealer for india, located in bangalore. He will ship aross anywhere in India, but payment has to be made prior by coueir or card.

 

you can google TI india dealer using poduct name. Sorry i dont have his contact now.

@ aakash i think it is a good idea,it should help us gain some momentum and help us check and balance each other's performance

@Ashish - Thanks! I know,...I appreciate your agreement.

 

I guess we should have like a couple of more in for this idea, so that we begin scheduling. Likewise, we will have a good number to help us get the push too!

 

We can wait for a couple of more days and then build concretely on this front.

 

Keep an eye on ur emails!

 

Cheers!

Aakash.

Hi Aakash its a good idea.... I am in... we can start the thing with quant, and then carry forward with other topics...

One more thing, to start with from where are you guys planning to study, from schweser notes or from the CFA institute books...

Thnx,

Amit

[sumit gandhi]

HI Akash,

I am in for the combined study plan.

Hey Folks,

 

We are 4 of us as of now - Amit, Ashish, Sumit and myself.

 

I guess we are good to begin with. Let us begin with Quan, as few of us have already suggested that. I may recommend, to have one more reading to begin simultaneously, as only quan may leave us dry and with free time.

 

Let us schedule the following for this week:

Quant: Study Session 2 : Time Value of money and Discounted Cash Flow Application - with problems.

Economics: Study Session 4 - entire! - this basically builds on the basics of microeconomics.

 

I guess this will be a good mix of problem solving and readings.

 

P.S. I am referring to Schweser notes. We should target to finish these notes within 3 months to make sure we have sufficient time for our further preparations.

 

Cheers!

Aakash.

Hi i am also there for group study...............

[sumit gandhi]

U guys started quant??

[Ashish A]

@ sumit yeah i did,will hope to wrap it up by the end of this week.

[aakash agrawal]

Starting quant was a good idea as some of the math forms basics for
other concepts

I would be completing 50 percent quant by this week and also the
Reading sessions on micro

[╚╪█S╪█B╚╪█K╚╪█18]

dude how to prepare for quant. i have schweser notes and also CFA curriculam... dont no how to make notes... please help me out

[aakash agrawal]

Basically you read thru the schweser notes and luk thru to solve the
questions at the end of each chapter. You may also refer the CFA
notes, if you havent done so in the past.

I guess this shud be easy by itself. As for the notes, quant basically
involves understanding the concepts (shdu get thru by reading) and
knowing the formulae - this can be crammed up n also you may sue the
formulae sheet provided with schweser!

If you require assistnace beyond this, i may suggest you to go thru
individual topics coursebooks - like say probablity and stats - if you
havent had any background in these areas!

Overall, Quan is relatively easy and manageable.

[vickyandansh]

SHOULD I OPT FOR SCHWESER OR INSTITUTE NOTES... SINCE I M WORKING I M NOT HAVING TIME TO STUDY BOTH???????????
