whoa whoa whoa... they actually tell you your score now?!?!!?

Can someone confirm this?
作者: grharmeyer    时间: 2011-7-27 14:47

Nah, he's just calculated it based on the three ranges and where he placed in the ten groupings.

Best wishes but no advice until after 8/16 on passing since that would be a bit premature.
作者: NakedPuts00    时间: 2011-7-27 14:48

yea way to be a leech as youre intro to the new forum

also, you posted your score here why? its not even an impressive grid or anything IMO

Given that L3 is mostly portfolio management and you were < 50% on PM...I would start there!

And, Since PM is over 50% of the LIII material telling someone to start there is like saying read the even pages first...

hahaha this is a great response. I plan on doing just that

My advice : start IMMEDIATELY. you can use old material from anywhere but dont waste time
作者: giorgio10    时间: 2011-7-27 14:51

and here they are - welcome new L3 candidates

you made it to the big leagues, now celebrate and forget about L3 until the fall
作者: kingstongal    时间: 2011-7-27 14:51

L3 is whole different beast.

L2 is a huge accomplishment. But your strategy for L3 must be based upon a completely different approach. The good news is....you have a whole year to worry about it!

Go get drunk tonight and have sex. Enjoy your L2 success to the fullest!

Get CFA stuff off your mind for the next few months...

nope, you should have started June 5 for L3 - no time to let up now. Start now or you will regret it!!

I agree with CardShark. L3 is a different ball game. You have gotten over the L2 hump. Enjoy the rest of the summer and start early in the fall if you choose. L2 curriculum is more difficult but the test format being all MC is advantageous given the answers can job your memory. L3 in the morning session you have to know the material cold. There are no bs answers - just write what they want to hear.

second the others.

@OP - take a break, chill out, hit the books on November or December. there is absolutely no point starting now or doing anything CFA related now.
作者: badonkus    时间: 2011-7-27 14:53

Aye!

For those who posted stupied comments, this is my opinion to start early. If you dont agree, this is also another opinion and should be respected.

For me , L3 is much much harder than level 2 and really needs alot of time
