I am awaiting my CFA L1 results by end of this month. In anticipation of passing the exams, I am planning to start preparing for L2 now for June this year. Do you guys feel that 5 months prep with 2 hours on weekdays and 6 hours on weekends will make the cut. Any thoughts will be highly appreciated.作者: random_walker47 时间: 2011-7-11 19:11
I did something similar and here I am again... not to scare you but I think I could have done it and so can you, I'd do/avoid:
- Start today
- The prolem over time is retention, by the time you reach equity you barely remember what the correlation formula was. So practice 30min of your 2hrs on weekeds on solving problems on things that you have already studied.
- Focus your attention on CFAI and EOC questions, seriously, Level II there are no shortcuts, if you are planning on doing only study notes, it's not going to happen for you
- Try to sqeeze in every momment you can for an extra hour or two
I don't know if it's helpful advice, your schedule is tight but it can be done if a, you are smart and b, disciplined

Same situation - what would help is that I'm not working in a company so I guess that should be an advantage作者: giants2010 时间: 2011-7-11 19:11

2 hours a day you will be okay.
study hard and review a lot, give yourself a day or two after each section/book to go back and review EOC problems you found challenging, review your notes or memorize stuff. 6 hours per day is a lot, personally I don't see how you can study for 6 hours Saturday and Sunday and not get burnt out or finish the material in 2 months. Also if you can get the Stalla notecards, they are really helpful for review (it takes about 15 - 20 minutes to review an entire section like FSA Quant Econ).
