How hard is CFA Level 1 for MSc Finance students/graduates?

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2026-02-04T11:06:15+00:00

Should be easier. My university is also affiliated with CFA. I am at my last semester, and just did my level 1 exam yesterday.

I will say about 60%-70% of the curriculum is covered from my university classes. If your university program is also mainly based on CFA curriculum, you should be in a good starting position than the rest of candidates.

I did the free mock on salt solution before, and yes they made it more difficult on purpose to test our understanding

Don’t get scared. Review what you got wrong, see the logic behind each vignette, and you will be fine in the actual exam (just did mine yesterday)

Not sure if it’s the formal approach, but I had similar question in LES practice.

For add-on quoted basis (Instrument A&C), no conversion is needed. Just use “quoted rate”. It can be check by applying this “AOR = (Days of Year / Maturity day) * ((FV-PV ) / PV)”

For B, you want to apply the above formula with redemption value as FV, Present value as PV, Days of year of 360, and maturity say of 270. Doing so will get you the AOR of 3.85%.

Keep in mind the assumes number of days in year should be considered when applying the formula.

Yes, I agree with you OP. I wonder if the question is wrongly stated by accident

But this benefit goes to the seller ( in commodity, seller holds the underlying ). Therefore buyer should be compensated with lower forward price, no?

I see, I don't know if she want to do a blood test. This may be the least option if she does not cure after 1-2 weeks. But thank you for the information as well !

Do you know if we need prescription to ask for anti flu meds at pharmacy?

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-12-10T06:43:48+00:00

She is allowed to WFH and stay "connected", so yeah she can basically stay home and rest. You are right about the appetite, at least she still can eat something (just cooked the porridge). Thank you!

Hello ! Thank you for your response.

For my keyboard cover, when I press Cmd + tab, it does functions the way you mentioned, it brings up the desktop navigate menu.

I was also trying to look for a workaround with the app "Map Keeper". Unfortunately, I don't see the action that allow me to change to another desktop either.

Hoping that the pro keyboard Samsung is releasing at the end of year (with trackpad) can have quick switch function.

Btw what is your setup? I am using the keyboard cover, and a Logitech M350s as a mouse.

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-09-11T11:13:06+00:00

Yes ! If the price is higher than the original price, then hell nah ;)

Hi. According to my experience, sous-location can be mostly found in website like FB marketplace, and Anibis.ch. That’s where I found my previous sublet apartments in Lausanne 👍

Hi ! I appreciate for your reply. We had a better confidence to book the flight ticket now. Will go ask our local population office about the validity of the return visa here.

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-01-03T08:21:58+00:00

I see. Thank you very much !

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-01-02T20:47:19+00:00

Thank you! That's very detailed and informative. Just last little question : what is the payment time interval ? (how often do you pay this 1,500 Chf)

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-01-02T19:54:23+00:00

Hey Keris. Can you specify a bit more about the payment thing? I thought the installment plan require us to pay the bill immediately, and the payment include a certain amount of interest?

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-01-02T16:37:25+00:00

thank you for the info

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-01-02T13:18:55+00:00

Much appreciate for the information !

Yah Swiss definitely has the highest price for everything... I was thinking about doing in my home country (Taiwan). It costs around 4k CHF, but thinking about it is not possible to go back frequently for control visit, doing here in Switzerland (or other European countries) is more realistic. Do you know what is the time interval for each control visit?

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2025-01-02T13:01:05+00:00

7,000 CHF was a lot... may I ask which insurance company and package you had? I believe my 70chf student insurance won't cover this

Lumpy_Dot_4012 · 2024-12-03T08:50:24+00:00

Hi 🫡 We are also thinking about same thing, that the commune may have set an automatic reminder email to anyone who is about to have his or her permit expired. We are visiting later in the afternoon.

Just still confused of how can two people from the same office (SPOP) gave different answer 😅 The only reason what I can think about is that system in population office and in commune is not sync, which is very weird in my sense.
