To those who passed L3 material, someone, failed

JustasS

What study material did you use?
CFAI ? Schweser? Stella? A combination?
Any tips for someone who failed L3 twice and is desperate to pass?

I studied Schweser for the first two months, then switched to a combo of schwerser/cfai text. Understanding EVERY end of chapter CFAI question is critical.

mostly schweser for reading. CFAI for end of chapter questions.
the earlier you get on the CFAI questions and readings, the better……….. for sure, reading schweser is alot more fun and less painful.
you need to do alot of CFAI stuff. and work in reading schweser a bunch of times. L1 and L2, i would say you can basically mostly read schweser OVER and OVER again and pass

Thanks. Much appreciated. It is just so frustrating not being able to pass L3.

I studied all CFAI material…read all books and did every end of chapter question (twice - once while reading and once in May). Also purchased Schweser practice exams and Secret Sauce last month. Also did AM CFAI exams back to 2005, mock, and practice exams. Studied roughly 300 total hours. Worth every hour today for sure (although many people said I was crazy)!
