Yeah, there's a high correlation between IQ and LSAT scores. A buddy of mine is insanely smart and took the LSAT with zero prep and scored a 178 which is in the 99.5%+ percentile. Obviously IQ, test taking ability, memory retention, etc... help with the CFA, but you don't need to be Stephen Hawking to pass any level of the CFA.

L2 is tough, but it's all about how hard you try and whether or not you just get it. Some people spend 500+ hours studying for the LSAT and can't crack 165.
