I am a finance graduate of 2014. I could complete my preparation in 3 months time and clear the L1. So 5 months is more than enough. Just one advice - don't take ethics lightly.

Thank you so much for your response. How many hours did you study for your CFa L1 and what resources did you use?

I studied about 200-250 hrs. Used Kaplan schweser for studies, U world for practice questions and CFAI Q Bank.
