If it is that urgent you need to call them. See phone numbers below…
You should be able to find most of the relevant information that you need on the website. I don’t believe that registration is open yet for the Feb 23 exam. This link should help you https://www.cfainstitute.org/en/programs/cfa/exam
I would advise you, however, if possible to take the Nov 22 exam as the fees are going up in 23.
Straight from the CFA website. You can attempt twice a year (6 times total) but there has to be at least 6 months in between attempts.
Hey Pcunniff,
For Situational Awarenes (SA) I am using the TI BA 2 Plus Professional
If you are getting an error message on calculation of IRR, sounds like you might be forgetting the initial cash outflow of 7 million or forgetting to use the negative sign in the initial outflow. Here are the steps that I take and results I am getting:
[2nd] and [CE/C] (to clear anything prior)Hit [CF] button and type -7,000,000 hit [Enter] then hit [down] twice, enter the rest of the cash flows same way.Hit [NPV] and enter 12 and then press [Enter]Press [down] to get to NPV, then press [CPT]. I get 159,825.98 (rounds to 0.160 million)Press [IRR] and hit [CPT], I get 14.1537 (rounds to 14.2)Repeating process for Project two I get NPV of 205,493.80 and IRR of 13.7009
Hope this helps!
There’s a good article in here that goes over high level chages…
You should also be able to find something on the CFAI website.

I would say that you definitely need to put in some extra time, but more than 6 months? There are so many factors that go into your personal study schedule (work, family, kids, other commitments, etc.) that only you can really answer that.
For me, I have teenagers and a full time job, plus some other commitments so I started a little bit earlier, but it’s up to you. Just get a schedule and try to stick to it.
Best of luck
This will be m second attempt at level 1.
I took the exam a few years ago and my mother passed away in the middle of studying (I should have asked for a deferral).
Ethics and Standards came easy for me. Be sure to read all the vignettes and practice all the questions you can. Right now Schwesser is giving away their QBank and Video Series for free (check recent articles for code) so definitely take advantage of that.
There is also an article somewhere I believe on the order of subjects you should do. I have heard several places that it is best to leave Ethics to the last part.
Hope this helps.
