标题: Boring material .... [打印本页] 作者: Viceroy 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33 标题: Boring material ....
Is it just me, or is 50% of this material extremely boring???
Not that I got off on level 1 or 2 stuff but it was actually pretty concrete stuff where as this seems to drag on and on about stuff that I have no interest in..... its a hard task to keep focused, I just look further in the book to something that is a bit more applicable and stimulating than this crap in the second half of book 3!作者: ll11 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
Yeah, a lot of Level 3 is pulled out of someone's @ss. Hopefully, you will only have to learn this once.作者: infinitybenzo 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
I'm with cityboy. I think this stuff is infinitely more interesting than L1 or 2.作者: cityboy 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33

Level 3 teaches you how to match the return of the market, end of story!作者: Windjam 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
ive finished my first pass through the material - i can tell you it never gets better - outside of a few small parts in fixed income, and the risk management stuff, its all absolutely, mind-numbingly boring. At least in L1 and L2 i felt like i was learning stuff. Not here.作者: ohai 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
Level 1, lets learn what an account receivable is
Level 2, hey ya'll lets learn some 10,000 archaic formulas that we will never use again
Level 3, lets apply Ceteris Peribus and ebullience to beat our benchmark.作者: bodhisattva 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
The best part of level 3 is behavioral finance. Who agrees?作者: bboo 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33

I wouldn't say the best, but it definitely isn't the worst.

So far i have done 3 Study Sessions: Behavioral Finance, Private Wealth Mgmt and Institutional Wealth Mgmt.
I found all of them very interesting.
Now, I have started with Capital Market Expectations and my impression has started to change Good part is, i was anyways expecting this reading to be boring.作者: liangfeng 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
I'm enjoying l3 more than the other 2.

Corporate governance stuff was terrible...作者: ll11 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
i miss the objectivity of the quant section, but whatever.作者: jmh530 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
Somebody please tell me that readings on corporate governance and emerging markets finance are not very important for the exam, at least for the morning part... I can't understand why they have chosen to include such extremely theoretical readings.作者: skycfa 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33

Haha ya I was thinking that this is very similar to S7 language. Unfortunately it won't nearly be as easy =(作者: canadiananalyst 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
another vote for the coolness of L3 compared to the others for me. Some (though not all) of you may change your mind after you get through the full curriculum as I think it did a nice job of pulling everything together.作者: Chuckrox 时间: 2011-7-13 16:33
Hey Guys!
L3 can be somewhat "fuzzy" but rest assured, you'll want your head "clear" and ready to rock n roll come exam time! Sometimes the L3 material is cool; sometimes analytical; sometimes compliance-like, etc. I look at like the last pieces of the whole CFA Body of Knowledge jigsaw puzzle.
On the exam, and pardon me if this sounds extremely simple:
--Answer the Question asked! If the question asks for 3 solutions and why?? You have got to give them the 6 answers.
--Put yourself in the position to Win every question.
--Give the Grader a reason to pass you!
Keep plugging away on your studies...you have plenty of time to thoroughly understand the material.
Good part is, i was anyways expecting this reading to be boring.
