For those who posted stupied comments, this is my opinion to start early. If you dont agree, this is also another opinion and should be respected.

For me , L3 is much much harder than level 2 and really needs alot of time

Aye!

second the others.

@OP - take a break, chill out, hit the books on November or December. there is absolutely no point starting now or doing anything CFA related now.

I agree with CardShark. L3 is a different ball game. You have gotten over the L2 hump. Enjoy the rest of the summer and start early in the fall if you choose. L2 curriculum is more difficult but the test format being all MC is advantageous given the answers can job your memory. L3 in the morning session you have to know the material cold. There are no bs answers - just write what they want to hear.

L3 is whole different beast.

L2 is a huge accomplishment. But your strategy for L3 must be based upon a completely different approach. The good news is....you have a whole year to worry about it!

Go get drunk tonight and have sex. Enjoy your L2 success to the fullest!

Get CFA stuff off your mind for the next few months...

and here they are - welcome new L3 candidates

you made it to the big leagues, now celebrate and forget about L3 until the fall
