Dude I sit for level I in June. Check the CFA website, they have all of the stuff you are asking about. Also, you can join your local CFA chapter as a student member... I suggest doing that so you can start your networking.

I have quite a few friends that already passed all three levels and hold their Charter... the money is good depending on what work you end up doing. If you work in equity research it will really help you out. Its not the be all end all but if you are serious about investments its a good idea... just be prepared to throw your social life away for 3 years minimum.
