I still have 1.5 books to go. Got the week before the exam off work and planning to go crazy then.
Just wondering if there are similar monkeys out there..
Looking back at Levels I & II, I am actually in better shape in terms of % of material covered. Passed both I & II in the first try with very decent margins.
However, I am getting scared for L III even with better preparation compared to the last two levels.
If there are others like me, lets give each other a bit of a pep talk….
Here’s my share:
I have two guys at work who killed this exam in the first try with 6-7 weeks of study last year. On the flip side, there are 11 analysts who studied for like six months and only 3 passed. There is a bit of luck involved I guess…and I hope that its on our side…作者: dmrktrading 时间: 2013-4-8 16:02
Wow impressive dude. 1.5 books to go in the final 2.5 weeks is rough.
I don’t think it really matter if you studied the materials for 1st or 2nd time but how well you understand the material and how much you retain info. That being said if you passed level 2 with 2 books still to read in the final weeks you’re probably a smart cookie. Just keep on treking and give this exam your best shot.作者: BC_MBA_student 时间: 2013-4-8 16:02
The biggest difference I find between Levels 1 & 2 and L 3 is that for the first two levels you could answer a lot of questions with a conceptual understanding of the material. Even if you didn’t know the formula, there were some giveaways when you looked at the answer choices and you could figure out the analyst statements type questions with a some knowledge and a bit of logic.
For Level 3 AM session, you have to know the ‘CFAI response’ to questions and thats what worrying me…作者: kamara5 时间: 2013-4-8 16:02
I think 1.5 books is not so bad.. I still haven’t touched ethics, GIPS, and derivatives.作者: bigredhockey55 时间: 2013-4-8 16:03
