I can only type in English. Sorry about that. For me, this forum is extremely useful for CFA exam, especially when you are not in China, and there is no Taobao...

It's hard to prepare for level 3 while working. Level 3 is the most difficult part for me because most of the material are useless for my job.... But I believe the results are okay:

To share some experience, I think study notes are enough for the exam. If you are still in school and have plenty of time, reading textbook may be workable. But frankly, the questions in the textbook after each session are helpful.

Good luck to everyone who's struggling on CFA.
