Depending on the amount of time you can dedicate to the study and practice of key concepts you could probably do it. I have a post on how to prepare for this exam which might help. Like everything, one persons definition of hard is anothers walk in the park

My Current Goal is to finish the MCPD along with the Canadian Securities Course. Then to earn income I want day trade in the morning and do independent programming contract in the afternoon/evening (I live on the West Coast, so the markets are open at 6:30am here). The area I want to target for programming work is in finance, which is why I am taking the CSC. The day trading part I have been doing for years and up until this year averaged an extra $75K a year That is the goal anyways, after working 25 years in IT and pretty much of done it all from I want to focus on the two things I like most, which is trading stocks and writing software. I just wrote (passed) the first CSC exam and am now focused on the 70-536 exam, which I hope to write by the end of February. Question; is 6 weeks enough time to prepare for the exam? Thanks, Dave.
