标题: Studied LII only 2 weeks before the exam!!! [打印本页] 作者: ashycal 时间: 2011-7-27 14:20 标题: Studied LII only 2 weeks before the exam!!!
That's exactly what I did and actually knew +70% of the exam. Studying was very intense but that's my style and always ace exams. I'm not a genius but like a mutant of sorts, learn very quickly and retain alot of information under intense pressure. By the way, it was my first attempt and passed L1 in Dec 2010. However, in my dreams I'm in Band 6! It will be a miracle if I pass...a black swan event!!! I'll keep you posted!!!

yeah, i had a buddy who didn't study at all and he's just such a bright guy that the CFA institute let him write all 3 exams concurrently. He was training for this mountain climbing expedition up everest. Didn't really leave much study time since the climb was literally like 5 days before the exam. Then of course he had to celebrate by going on a huge coke/booze bender, which lasted until about the exam. He showed up like 2 seconds before the doors closed and managed to take his seat. He said it went awesome, except for the fact that he kept having to go to the bathroom to throw up (still wasted from all the boozin). It mostly overlapped with the stuff he learned in his MBA at Yale, so he was fine. Real good guy, he's nailing Jessica Simpson and Scarlett Johansen at the moment, but sooner or later i think he's gonna have to pick one... good guy, you'd like him i think. He's a derivatives portfolio manager at GS.作者: yodacaia 时间: 2011-7-27 14:21

I told you all of this in confidence. If Jessica ever read this, the decision would be made for me. Luckily, Scarlett couldn't give a @#$%&...作者: BC_MBA_student 时间: 2011-7-27 14:25
Isn't that too much - 2 weeks? ;) I actually studied for one week, intensively. I hope I am not in Band 1作者: laurab 时间: 2011-7-27 14:26
2 weeks for the whole CFA Level 2 curriculum This is astounding as far as I am concerned.
Personally, I had to study for over 4 months.
I hope that the human species evolves to produce more and more of you guys with a lot of retention capacity and understanding of the material at lightening speed.
But, on the other hand the experts say that evolution occurs only when there are constraints. With human species getting more and more comfortable in its own skin and massive famine being a thing of the past for the most part, I do not see any major constraints for further evolution in human species. May be another species in a few million years perhaps??
Best of luck to you all in your forthcoming exams.作者: KungFuPanda 时间: 2011-7-27 14:26
