For those who passed.... already, because, studying, next

Most people on here will pass Level I. That is because there are a bunch of people who sign up for Level I who have no intention of ever studying that hard to pass. People on AF are usually pretty dedicated. Wait till results come out, you'll see

That being said, since most of you will sit for Level II next year, heed this warning:

"You must study twice as hard for Level II than Level I"

I mean that in all seriousness. You might say "no way I can study any harder than I already did!". But you must. Either that, or plan on sitting Level II multiple times. The material is much deeper and no less broad. Relax until October/November. Then begin religiously.

-Give yourself twice as much review time in April/May before taking practice tests.
-Just because you score well on practice tests does not mean you know the material. The real test is much harder (and has been for several years according to most).
-REALLY understand the material. Don't just memorize formulas. There are too many of them.
-You can't reason your way through these questions the way you probably could in Level I.

I studied hard and rocked Level I on the first try in 2009.
Used the same method to study for Level II in 2010 and got destroyed.

Good Luck.... see you next year in Level II.

Did you take Level II June 5th??

If so, how do you already know you got destroyed? Results aren't out until August??

I passed L1 in 12/09. All I can say is that a number of very vocal AF users disappeared off the board after exam results came out in January.

True. Take level two really seriously.

That would mean I have to spend three hours+ every single day until next June.

350 hours or so.

Great post. Hope all of us here will continue our discussion in L2. I think I did well but at the end of the day, it's still up to CFAI to make the verdict.

Just curious how much time you put in for L2?
