When I took the level 1 in June 2009, I started in the middle of March
and took the exam on June 6 (somewhere around two and a half months).
But I dedicate that whole time just to prepare for the exam and nothing
else, plus I had a strong background in Finance, Accounting, Stats,
etc. Having said that, how much you need to study/dedicate your time to pass the Level 1 exam depends on how quickly you can grasp the material. CFA Institute's material (read it somewhere) said that you need to dedicate at least 250 hours, but it differs individually.
