u can go to the websitr
www.cfainstitute.org & register for level 1, i think last date is 15 Mar
The exam is concepts oriented not tough but u shud be clear with what u know
u shud go for it only if u are
1. working in Financial sector or have 4 or more yrs of work exin finance relatred field, so that u can get the charter
2. as a working professional u plan to shift abroad
Shweser study notes are very helpful & are a must
if u have access to some good library that will also help
i am appearing for level 2 this june
I hope this clears some doubts
