Wondering if anyone is able to get some studying done at work? How are you doing this? I have some opportunities but obviously can't bust out the CFAI book and start reading.作者: benbenxiong 时间: 2011-7-11 19:16

investopedia.com has a whole studyguide for each level作者: OmarAdnan 时间: 2011-7-11 19:16
the photocopy is not a bad idea, but you would need to constantly make copies....
the investopedia idea sounds cool - I only see a study guide for level 1 though? Are you able to find level 2?作者: ninja1024 时间: 2011-7-11 19:16
Ebooks and QBank are the most discrete ways to study at work.
RE: difficulties of photocopying, it's easier to just take the textbooks to a printing store and have them rip off the spine. Then, you can take just the relevant pages to work in a binder. Apparently, this method is popular among law students who have very heavy text books.作者: spreads 时间: 2011-7-11 19:16

I used analyst notes at work. Nobody could tell that I was actually studying. The notes were pretty good for L1, but don't look as great for L2...作者: chaojimali 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
I use analyst notes at work as well, they're pretty good

How about just scanning the book to pdf document and reading the soft copy off your PC at work? I think that is better option. You would not have to separate the pages from the book but just scan and resize pages to suit your viewership and read off the PC as you work.作者: Otabek 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
Guys,
I have already purchased and read through the hard copy books and but I am interested in purchasing the eBook to review concepts during the "downtime" in work.
However, my corporate laptop does not allow me to install any software and I as far as I know the Vitalsource is heavy and akward to see it online...
I would like to know whether I would be able to convert the eBook to pdf (maybe through a pdf printer?) so that I can transfer it to my business laptop..
Thanks!作者: wxs1986 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
I have all the formulas in word docs, so I keep em on my screen and glance at them while I do pointless paper pushing作者: b_sea93 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
I usually do this with flash cards etc the closer it gets to the exam. Right now I can save that stuff for after work作者: busterbluth 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
that's unfortunate.作者: mengxu 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
I study an hour at lunch everyday. I also signed up for the ebooks, so I usually give those a quick skim while I "work". We have an open desk concept (aka my team shares a long desk) so it's tough to have any privacy. Also, the ebook is through a website; I don't recall having to download anything.作者: Analyze_This 时间: 2011-7-11 19:17
I take notes in Word while watching the Schweser videos. I read these on one of my screens at work. The other is always open to excel. I do a lot of deal modeling so it looks like I'm reading through a Prossup, PPM, etc.
Also, I am able to get into work a little early and study for about 30-40 minutes. I'm usually fresh that early with a big cup of coffee. My work is flexible enough (when we are slow) that I can leave earlier then to head up to the library.
