I failed in 2010 and 2011. I aced the afternoon session in 2011 (this year) and felt good about it leaving the test. However, as in 2010 and 2011, I did extremely poorly in the morning session. There are a few reasons I did poorly in the morning session in both years.
First, there was some material that I did not know well enough.
Second, I wish I had taken more morning practice exams so that I could have gotten a different perspective on the CFA material. In my case, having a different angle on a concept that is explained in the CFA texts is all that it takes (not because the concept is necessarily difficult). Part of this is knowing how to give a response that the graders who rely on the guidelines are searching for. Simply knowing how to package an answer can help me to learn the material, too. For example, if you look at the matieral on individuals and insitutional portfolio management, the end of chapter exercises are long, thougtful, and drawn out. The actual morning examination questions that have been released by CFAI are quick one-two punches compared to the end of chapter exercises. The end of chapter exercises help you to learn the concepts the long way. The make you thoughtful, but they don't necessarily make you quick at packaging the answer quickly and efficiently. Indeed, the answer to the end of chaper exercises are at least a full paragraph in length. To that end, I plan on using a review course of some sort this year. |
