Check website if you took any of them.

I passed

Thanks for my husband's support for the past three years......

And thanks for all the blessings on this board months ago:)

***

let me write a little thoughts:

a good forum:www.analystforum.com

I used Schweser notes for all three levels, and I purchased the text books for level II and III. (company paid for everything, which saved me so much money - another advantage for people to take the exams while working)

I use text books as reference. Whenever I got confused on the Notes, I'll read the text books. I especially recommend the fixed income and the derivatives books. They are useful and well written readings. Try to work on the practice questions on the back of the chapters.

I got the ethics book from CFAI to read through the whole thing. twice.

When I took level III, I spent lots of time traveling b/w Boston adn NYC for interviews, so I bought the mp3 to listen on the bus trip...it helps.

Take the week before the exam off. take practice exams once another day and review it after. Don't crunch in the last day. relax and get a massage instead:-)

Make sure your ld is supportive...it's going to help a lot if you have the mental support from the loved ones:)

Overall, for regular people (regular luck and regular intelligence), you need to put in study for about 15 hrs/wk, Feb. to May, 4 months to work on it. I took Saturdays to relax though.

It just takes lots of time. The test itself shouldn't be too tough for Chinese people. We are all smart:) After the above routine, I got about 76% in my level III exam...the current guess is that you need to hit high 50% to low 60% to pass. Just to give you an idea. You can pass with less study...but I guess that we'd rather over study than under prepared&worry a lot. right?

So good luck. Read basic info. on CFA institute web page, and post questions here if you have any.
