there are a lot of smart people out there, but how committed are they to the profession? how committed are they to producing quality work?


tmishin - i used the q-bank for L1 and also for L2. i think it helped in L1 purely from the repetition of questions, but L2 is a different beast where you really need to understand the relationships between the financials, external/international effects, and calculations. Schweser doesn't write the quality questions that CFAI does that force you to use the relationships. I think their mocks are ok, but don't follow the CFAI methods. Use the mocks from the CFAI site (I think you get one freem, but have to pay for more. The texts/EOC are great sources).

Same here! I thought it is because of sleep deprivation. But even after proper sleep for past 3 days it is still not gone.
