Hi!

As far as I am concerned the test went fine. At least that's what I
think until the 26th when the results will be out .

Regarding the second question.. please let me get back to you on that on
the 27th :-) .

The truth is I really did find the morning session quite easy, easier
than what I though it would be. But the afternoon session came back at
me; maybe I was also a little burned out after the first round, but I
found the second part of the exam more difficult.

How did it go for everyone else? How did you find the exam?

I also feel that using the CFAI books really helped me, as opposed to
only using the Schweser notes (which I also read for some of the topics).

Hello, I have registered for the CFA level 1 Dec 2011 exams and I am already preparing.
Would love to join someone for the preparation. I read from the CFA books and havent yet enrolled in for any kind of coaching.

Anybody joining me?

Any recommendations on some sort of SQL crash course material? I have a
test on Wednesday from Excel and SQL and I don't even know how to use
SQL or what to use it for..

Thanks.

I felt exactly the same about the exam, Costin. Morning easier &
afternoon challenging. Good luck to everyone on the 26th! We all
worked hard & hopefully we will be rewarded (by being given the
opportunity to begin studying for level II together. ;)

Thanks.
I'll google it and see what I can find. I already found some resources which explain the basics, like select, from, join, group by etc. It seems pretty straight forward, at least at a basic level.
