标题: I PASSED USING ONLY SCHWESER AND CFAI EOC QUESTIONS [打印本页] 作者: rgonzalez 时间: 2011-8-17 08:53 标题: I PASSED USING ONLY SCHWESER AND CFAI EOC QUESTIONS
FYI, for all those wondering, it is possible to pass all 3 CFA exams without reading one page from the CFAI texts (except the EOC questions). I did. If anyone says that you must read the CFAI texts to pass, they are lying.
But to each their own, as long as it works!作者: jarobi04 时间: 2011-8-17 08:53

For level 3 I used Schweser and only CFAI EOCs too. I would say that EOCs are important though and wouldn't suggest anyone miss them out...作者: xilinx_altera 时间: 2011-8-17 08:54
Effort and peaking at the right time (i.e. not burning out!)作者: meghanjackson 时间: 2011-8-17 08:54
L1: 100% QBank, Quicksheet, and one quick reading through Secret Sauce. By 100% Qbank I mean quite a few questions
L2: Schweser videos with a lot of notes (easily a few hundred) and A LOT of Qbank
L3: Schweser videos with a lot of notes, a little bit of Qbank, and Schweser weekend study course
Never opened CFAI Text. Actually check that, this year I actually attempted to use the online books for a EOC question, but it was so hard to navigate that I gave up. So I "opened" it once in three levels, but the CFAI Texts didn't help me one bit.作者: sabaruch 时间: 2011-8-17 08:54

Ding ding ding.
Everyone has different methods and ways to retain knowledge. For me I need to "DO" questions in terms of quantity, and "HEAR" explanations. Reading text literally does nothing for me.
I prefer QBank of EOC because it was on the computer and the sheer quantity of it. Plus I could track my progress. I didn't need questions that mimic test questions, but rather just going through the mechanics of the topics.作者: jarobi04 时间: 2011-8-17 08:54

Yeah but don't you also want to maximize efficiency? If you give an electrician a hammer what good is it? Give him a wire stripper and it'll pay for itself in no time.

Ditto...Schweser for reading was more than sufficient as far as I'm concerned

Note I said "biggest factor" not "only factor"
Congrats though man. You've been a big help through level 2 & 3 with your good input. Glad to see you made it through.作者: LBriscoe 时间: 2011-8-17 08:55
For me, It's all Schweser
Lv1=Schweser notes+video
Lv2=Same as above
LV3=Same as above
I did force myself into 4hours per day, although there are occasional slacking~ I would think I did spent at least 400 hours per level作者: PalacioHill 时间: 2011-8-17 08:55
I don't understand why we are still having this conversation after level 3. It's been at least three years! Haven't you made your mind up by now?
