Bit of tips for L1ers (from L2er)
The following tips might be redundant for those who have been following the tips closely from the seniors but I would like to share it anyways.
- Last month is very important as you know. I will not recommend only and only practicing (that doesnt work with me). I would also add that besides practicing, do review your weak areas. For example if you don't remember much from Fixed Income go ahead and re-read it.
- Not saying practice is any less important. Ideally last month should be most focused on practicing questions, full-length practice papers.
- Most important are CFAI questions, no doubt. I would pay more attention to MCQ format questions. Q-bank/passmaster are great supplementary tools, as well.
- Read every end of chapter summary from CFAI. There can be questions directly from there.
- Don't forget to take CFA mock.
- At least once simulate the 6-hr exam day. Do a practice exam from 9-12 (approximate times), do the other from 2-5 (approximate times). It is very important if you are taking such test for the first time.
- - If you want to have L2 easy for you then nail down FRA, Quants, Fixed Income and Derivatives NOW!
- sleep the normal hours you would sleep for on your normal days. (My normal sleep is 8-9 hours but i slept 6 hours on the exam day and I regret it)
- Don't depend on caffeine the last month. But on the exam day, go ahead with it. I regret not taking any caffeinated drink before the morning paper coz I got sleepy by 11 am. Then took coffee with lots of sugar for the afternoon paper and oh boy I was totally fired up that I could have done one more 3-hour exam (but well at least I react very strongly to coffee)
- My exam day lunch was one plain turkey sandwich in brown bread, nuts, banana, water and coffee. It was great. I was full but didn't feel stuffed. Nothing greasy so I stayed active. Planning to have same lunch for L2 exam.
Good Luck All! If you have studied enough, you will surely pass. It is not impossible! |
