Hello future fellow Charterholders!
I have a question. I would like to know if it is feasible to pass level 2 only having 4 months of prep time and working full time, given 20-25 hrs/week study time?
Thanks!作者: BelalM 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
im in the same situation. since there are plenty of retakers so it does not only depends on ur prep....they take the graph high and make it diff for the first timers.
Is 4 mths enough time or not???
Please..Honest opinion will be appreciated!作者: ningning1984 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
I passed L1 in Dec '10 and giving L2 this june..however, i was confident about passing so started strudying for L2 early and have already finished book 1 & 2 readings from book 2.
If you intend to use CFAI text books for studying, I would re-think giving the exam this june..there are over 500 pages per book and 6 books..If youre working full-time, you might just be able to finish reading the material once. Then it will all depend on how much you have retained.
If youre using a prep-provider, I think you can manage easily putting in 20-25 hrs a week.

actually i quit my job and can put more than 20-25 hours...quantity is not a prob but quality is. i get easily distracted. i think i got ADD..neway thanks for ur advise.
i think i will use schweser! didnt use prep provider in lvl1. u can get cds for video instructions. right? are they any good?作者: huangxiaoxie 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
I honestly don't think it is enough time unless you are working part-time or unemployed.作者: defour44 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14

Hey i m also worried whether 4 months is enough?作者: bolligerallstar 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
i hope it is.....
I think it completely depends how strong you are - there are 3 or so sections that hopefully wont be too difficult for me due to my job.
With no relevant experience on anything, L2 looks at a glance like it would be very difficult in 4 months!作者: tianxin 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
Of course it is.
I just started studying last week.
Just start studying instead of wondering if 4 months is enough.
Once u start going through it, you'll see that 4 months is plenty of time if u stick to ur schedule and study everyday.作者: Rasec 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
guys, is not about the 4 months, it is about quality.
CFA is not about getting As or 10s, you don't have to know everything, you just have to know very well some important topics.

Yes - or at least I hope so!
I started in Feb last yr for L2 with a full time job (and maintained a social life, sort of).
HOWEVER... I failed BUT got band 10.
This year I am starting this week. Good luck to all 4 monthers 作者: wilslm 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
Actuarial exams are more difficult than CFA level II and are often passed with less than four months of time. Granted many candidates get employer support and 120ish study hours from their job, but it can certainly be done.作者: SpyAli 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
^^
If you are relying on CFA text totally, then u dont need extra notes. however, extra practice exams would b good or get q bank to drill in concepts inside your brain.作者: bbtomato 时间: 2011-7-11 19:14
How could anybody study for 12 hours for more than a few days in a row.. 4 months would be ridiculous.
