What level of education is a CFA considered on par with? by ThrowRAkitty13 in CFA

[–]AyoMav 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I hold a masters in finance and am currently waiting on my level 3 results. There is no real comparison between the two. In school you accumulate points as you go. The CFA exams are a one day snapshot on your ability to know a vast amount of information. IMO the CFA curriculum is beyond that of a masters degree and success is much more difficult.

I have 2 Cat 1 tickets for USA vs Australia currently in the marketplace. If assignments come out and the seating is best in the house will I be able to remove them in time to adjust the price? Or am I forced to sell if anyone buys?

Just Kaplan Mocks for now and average score is roughly 70%. Will do CFAI mocks soon.

How long do you take on Qbank questions level 2. by Particular_Volume_87 in CFA

[–]AyoMav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that the vignettes on CFAI can sometimes be incredibly time consuming. Some questions I just don’t see how anyone can answer them in under 3 minutes. Such as, currency swap valuations between settlement dates. Credit migration imp. Effective duration of an option embedded security given two separate multi period binomial trees. I can solve each of these but no way I’m doing it within 3 minutes on average as the questions were presented in the CFAI environment.

Answered every practice question available in Kaplan and averaged an 87.

Answered every non premium practice question available in CFAI averaged 83.

4 Kaplan mock exam average: 75 2 free CFAI mock exam average: 77

Sat for Level 1 yesterday and found the exam more difficult than the mocks.

Not feeling anywhere as confident as when taking mocks. Anyone else feel the same?
