标题: FRA from CFA Curriculum [打印本页] 作者: Spongebob 时间: 2011-7-11 15:28 标题: FRA from CFA Curriculum
Hey guys
I am currently reading FRA from CFA curriculum,have finished reading the 1st two study sessions in FRA.Now,i am about to start study session 9,maybe tommorow.But after flipping through pages in study session 9,i believe it's a lot of memorization.Please correct me if it's not.
Now, i am wondering would it be okay to use stalla or schweser to read study session 9&10,because i plan on using the notes to review the study material before the exam.
So what do u guys suggest?
1.)To go ahead with CFA curriculum and memorize
2.)To go for stalla or schweser and read what i would be able to ultimately remember before the exam.
Please share your opinion.

A) I went through this exact same question. I moved back and forth whenI had trouble digesting some of the FRA in the CFAI curriculum. Just make sure to answer as many questions as possible in both the CFAI and Schweser. Maybe run through S-notes then hit the exact section in CFAI right after for retention and extra/needed details not in Schweser.
Schweser covers it thoroughly. I suggest you read schweser, know it cold, and if you think you require additional information/understanding, consult CFAI texts作者: soddy1979 时间: 2011-7-11 15:28
If I recall correctly, SS-9 is pretty intense. Doesn't it cover inventories, fixed assets, leases and long-term liabilities? You've got to really understand these subjects deeply because the exam is likely to pepper you with lots of deeply subtle questions.

Look, SS-9 is largely taken out of an intermediate accounting textbook. The coverage in the CFAI curriculum is, if anything, condensed. It's a lot of stuff, and if you don't come from an accounting background you're going to find it difficult to master.
If you rely on Schweser, it's going to be even more condensed and harder to comprehend.

if you try and memorize stuff in this study session your dead IMHO.
you really have to understand it, they can test it in so many ways memorization isn't gonna cut it.
and I'd recommend the CFAI books for this SS and ethics above all others.
