标题: The last 3 months [打印本页] 作者: clearlycanadian 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56 标题: The last 3 months
I've gone through majority of the readings. I'm still reviewing the material every month. I personally think I need work on quant and FRA, but for the last 3 months before the exam I will be:
- going through the CFAI questions and other questions over and over
- I will be constantly reviewing my notes
- I will be rewriting the formula's repeatedly to memorize them
- and taking my mock exams along the way (hopefully finish 3 or more mochs)
What are you plans for the next 3 months?作者: Mechanic 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56
most people are only about halfway through their first read. don't burn out.作者: disiz64 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56
Is there such a thing as burn out for this exam? I mean...the recent pass rate was 36% out of about 46000 people worldwide in December.
Yes...I guess you can study too many hours in a week and be extremely tired, but constant review and a goal of going "complete" understanding would be a good thing to aim for right?作者: Matori 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56

I took the exam, trust me it was a joke.
I have seen much harder exams at university.
If you are a serious guy who has been working hard at this, putting in your 300 hours, doing eoc, doing a couple of mocks, there is almost* no chance you would fail.
Let me give you a sample of the people I had lunch with during the lunch break on exam day. I flew to dubai to take the exam.
1-) father of 3 very busy at work and in life, decided to come for the hek of it
2-) a girl that landed from india an hour before exam (how rested ?)
3-) a guys whoz boss asked him to take it, and paid for it, nothing happens if he fails
4-) several fresh out of school kids (like myself) who cant find jobs. most of them cant find a job cause the suc* not cause of the economy and they think the CFA is their ticket. What are the odds of them passing?
Just thought I would share this so you can relax, if you truly want this, you WILL get it作者: dmar 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56
level 2 is the one you need to worry about. 300 hours for level 1 sounds about right. i'm only about halfway through corp fin and feel like i have more than enough time.
and a 35-40% passing rate is pretty high considering a lot of people just blow the test off at level 1.作者: Bulla564 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56
Doing exercises and mock exams. Also learn some concepts, conventions and formulas by heart.作者: Benjiko 时间: 2011-7-13 13:56
