Relax, read the questions carefully. If you have any sort of financial background you will do fine, it is an easy exam.

I took CSC Exam 1 a few months back. If you're cramming, I'd strongly recommend you focus on the Equity securities, fixed income & Cdn Economy....that's about 60% of the content on the exam.... and make sure you know it by heart...b/c they do ask detail questions. If you still have a bit of time cover the Derivatives section.
BTW I passed Exam 1.

I just started to study for my CSC course, looking to finish the entire course in 3 months time.
Anyone in the GTA area doing the same thing?
I'm located in Thornhill/Richmond Hill/Markham, Ontario.
Msg me and we can maybe start a study group.
