L1 - Dec 2009
L2 - Jun 2010

passed - will be taking up L3 in 2011.

Given the limited time I had for L2 (and a full time job & a 15 month old son), I focused on grasping the material using schweser videos (made notes using the workbooks) and then reviewed the CFAI text books (did not bother with the scheweser notes). This helped a lot to get through all the fluff in the text books. I did most of the examples and EOC questions.

Did not do any timed tests due to time constraint. But I did solve the item sets from couple of schweser practice exams whenever I had the chance (during commute, lunch etc). I made sure I revised whatever I learned in the last week. Also attended the BSAS bootcamp (it wasn't great but it did help me revise). And it worked!

I will start early for L3 this year - same strategy - use schweser videos for understanding the concepts and CFAI texts to re-inforce it.
