Considering you having no background, I think you can pass only if you study full time for a couple of months.

or a couple of weeks if you're reasonably smart.

There are a lot of smart ppl I know that failed Level I with 2-3 months of studying, but there was a guy who bragged about on the analyst forum who passed with 2 weeks of studying and he had finance background and was already in the industry. But hey, props to you if you can do it because I sure couldn't have. Maybe I'm not reasonably smart [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

And yeah, research before going into it unless you like the stuff. It's a big time committment.
