标题: CFA L2 Hours [打印本页] 作者: dvilayphet 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47 标题: CFA L2 Hours
I was wondering how many hours everyone has put in or will put in come show time.
I started about 2 1/2 months ago, I am around and expect around 275-325. The CFA sample exams are beating the living crap out of me.

6 months ago,1 hour daily = 180 hours + 5 hours target for this last week = 185 hours.作者: Newhuman 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47

I'm going to hit around 225. I will feel pretty good about my chances with that number. I'm sure people have passed L2 with <50hrs and failed with >750hrs. Unfortunately with L2, luck plays an incredibly important role with the outcome of your result.作者: OmarAdnan 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
1000+
Started in February 09 through June 09 and restarted in Sept 09 until now.

250 hours for me.作者: ayodayo 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
Started way to late. Done about 1 month of hard core studying. So I'd estimate close to 150+ hours. Had a few days off work, a few days traveling for work, and a few long weekends in there. Getting mind 70s now w/ a high of 83 on schweser b2e1AM. This week will be dedicated to review, no more tests for me.作者: chaojimali 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
Started in September, reading through the CFAI texts, not doing any EOC's. I bought the online CFAI texts so that I could read them at work.
Got the Schweser materials in January, including the mp3's which I have listened to four times. That's right, all of the mp3's four times through (and a couple sections five times - I've got a long commute).
Watched all of the Schweser videos, did all the Schweser end of reading Q's, did all the CFAI EOC's, read through the Schweser video slide workbooks. Have gone through Secret Sauce a couple times and the Schweser QuickSheet many times....
When I say I did all the CFAI and Schweser questions, some of them I only checked the answers. But as long as I understood the topic, I was satisfied and moved on.
So far have done NONE of the CFAI mocks or Schweser practice exams.
To be honest, tonight is a break for me, posting on AF. I felt some symptoms of burnout and knew it was time to ease up on the gas pedal.作者: jarobi04 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
I guess it will be around 250 hours by Friday. Not counting AF time as my study hours though but still this figure is toooo low considering I gave 430 hours for L1.作者: yodacaia 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
i'd say easy 400 hours but it seems like they're all in vain...作者: RepoToronto 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
a lot. over 500 hours for sure.
cfai's "minimum" 250 number should be doubled, at least, for this crazy thing.
For the past 4 months I have been consistently drunk 5 nights a week, I am a retaker and this time around I have logged 20 hours of study. What are the odds of me doing level 3 next year?作者: neil1234 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
last week. total 40 hours.作者: OmarAdnan 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47

i hypothesize the 250 hours means say 5 years experience as an analyst with perhaps some post-grad qualifications as well. years ago (pre 1990's) you had to be recommended and have a bit of work experience as an analyst to sit these exams [correct me if i'm wrong].... i swear no-one has changed the minimum study time since then. as a side note, i'd say 750 hours bare minimum and i still feel unprepared. anyone who thinks less.....i envy your info retention skills!作者: cv4cfa 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
Put in loads of time. Am not even working in this field, which makes everything doubly hard. And new. Why, oh why.....作者: flyinggirl 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
Around 150 hours.. 作者: xilige 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
I know some people that haven't even finished reading the curriculum yet. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're toast come Saturday.作者: Pegasus2008 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
Testimonial or they don't exist. I doubt if there is anyone in the world who has not gone through the material once. This exam is too important to take it easy.作者: brainsX 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47

Hahahaha. Pics or it doesn't exist right? You have to realize that we are all on AF for a reason, we care a LOT about passing this exam. Of my CFA buddies, 2 of them have not finished reading the material or so they claim. They have decent jobs, are young like me, and can afford to bomb the exam because: 1) Their firm is footing the bill pass or fail 2) Failing L2 will not make or break their careers. The opportunity cost of partying and having a good time is too high to them to make them sit down and study.
Either way, hopefully they'll at least finish their exams to drive down the MPS 作者: chaojimali 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
hmm how about someone like me who is close to finishing for the second time yet feels as if Im looking at it for the first time :S作者: jarobi04 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
Chuckrox - Yes you are right! Hahaha! To tell you bluntly, I think your buddies are sandbagging, unless it is not their character to do so. They are sandbagging so that all of us in AF will not study too hard, thereby bringing the MPS to a historical low. Let us not fall for their tricks and keep chugging along. I hope to hit 190 hours by the end of Friday! Saturday is rest day for my brain.作者: MiniMe7 时间: 2011-7-13 16:47
probably over 500 honestly, at like 50% efficiency (following NBA and MLB box scores, chatting on forums, reading stories, stock research... lesson - don't study at my work desk!)... so like 250-300 in reality...
...lot of stuff on my mind the last 6 months that I preferred not think about so I just spent most of my "free" time studying.
