标题: Am I Way Behind? [打印本页] 作者: dmrktrading 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30 标题: Am I Way Behind?
Guys:
I have studied with the official CFAI material. Thus far, I've completed books 1-3, and done every EOC question. I've done pretty well on EOC questions. I am wrapping up Equities in about a week. Still left with Derivatives, Fixed Income and Alternative Investments. I plan on using Schweiser to cover those areas. Can I do it?

You are way behind me thats for sure.
But you are probably ahead of some people.
I tell you that not to frustrate you, but you gota remmber some people will fail the exam and I don't want it to be you. Work hard and work "slow". You can read a book and learn nothing by the time you are done. Do not fall into that.
And don't go crazy trying to figure out things on your own. Anything you dont get, search or ask on AF. Yes we all think we are smart and we wana figure it out on our own. Do that after June 4th, for now you need the time to study.作者: CPATrader 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30

Roughly the same as myself. With 50 days to go I certainly don't consider myself behind schedule. Will probably be finished all the EOCs by next weekend, so that's 6 weeks of practice exams, sample questions and review. I think that's on the money.作者: ninja1024 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30
Just a thought, but since this thing is graded on a curve, you don't need to do as well as the top performers or be as prepared as the guys who score in the 80s and 90s. You just need to be in the top 40% of those who are taking the test that day.
Someone like GulfCFA who seems to not a have a thing to do outside studying, is probably in the top performer range. This is not a shot at you either, just check your ego at the door.作者: MiniMe7 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30
^ you are right I have nothing to do but study for this exam...no shame in being unemployed....kinda..sorta...maybe..lol
Respect to anyone who is doing this with a job, kids, whatever else you may have.作者: lucasg85 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30

OK
Whenever they say that the pass rate is 50% do they mean that 50% of the people who signed up for the test pass or 50% of the people who sit for the test pass?
Reason why I ask is there is a statistic that says about 30% of people who sign up for the test don't even show up for it.作者: zephyranalyst 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30
No shows are not included in the pass rate.作者: hassan 时间: 2011-7-11 19:30
