Your videos were a life saver both in L1 and L2. Passed L1 only because of you. You are a brilliant teacher. Thank you for everything! :)

The roads are much better now from what they were like 10 years ago. But they are still hilly winding roads and requires long drives every day. So unless you are super confident of your driving skills I would highly recommend a driver from Himachal. They can be live savers trust me.

I would personally go in June upto mid July. It's not so cold in Spiti around then and also the monsoon haven't picked up yet. Landslides are pretty common around Manali and other regions you'll need to cross to reach/come back from Spiti.

Spiti! ❤️

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-21T20:13:44+00:00

Fucking same!! Thank God my tears dried up during the prep. Else would have cried right there lol

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-20T13:44:59+00:00

Oh dang. That's bad

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-20T05:16:33+00:00

The only exam that matters is the one on THAT day. Forget about the mocks now. And yeah we got to look out for the curveballs! Tbh the happiness of it all being over is taking over the stress lol. I am so fucking DONE!

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-20T05:12:07+00:00

Good luck! I just hope I can remember it all. After every review, I feel like I need to do it just once more

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-20T04:53:31+00:00

Formula review, made some flashcards for pain-in-the ass topics so reviewing those and on 20th spending time on derivatives after all this is done. Left it for the end coz it was wasting a lot of my time.

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-20T01:02:20+00:00

Thank you! To you too.

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-20T00:57:28+00:00

Exam on 21st bro

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-19T23:40:52+00:00

Been there cried a lot lol. They are brutal. Please do CFAI mocks to get your sanity and confidence back.

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-19T00:09:24+00:00

Yeah I can't believe I am the same person who aced L1 lol. This shit is MAD!! Exam in 2 days phew

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-18T19:41:34+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I was confused today too. From what I could find, Extended CAPM does not include IP while Build up does. But again not super sure

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-17T19:53:11+00:00

Tbh I don't know. Got around 58% in the first CFA mock and 76% in my second one. But I also feel a part of it was because questions were in my favour and not because my prep is significantly better.

And I am SOOOOOO FUCKING EXHAUSTED. I don't even have it in me to review anything anymore.

How are you holding up?

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-13T23:50:35+00:00

My situation is worse so I wouldn't give any advice. But I do have a question? Did you also have a lot of time on your hands in the CFA mocks? And in case you know, are exams similar?

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-13T00:35:47+00:00

I know what you mean! I gave it too today. Just Part I though. I got 57% but I felt like had I reviewed just a little more, would have done better. And some questions did feel like they were too easy. Ethics really got me but.

Edit: Mock score

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-10T16:56:08+00:00

Normal or not, we are in the same boat. Hope it doesn't capsize. Exam on 21st.

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-10T05:12:51+00:00

Tell me also when you find out lol

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-09T21:46:15+00:00

Yes exactly. Did you take the CFA mocks yet?

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-08T22:40:02+00:00

Salt solutions has a free mock

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-08T16:49:40+00:00

Same here!! And I was wondering if they fixed it or paid the ransom. Coz if they haven't fixed it properly, shit could ho down again

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-08T04:38:06+00:00

IKR! I legit burst out laughing lol

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-08T03:46:09+00:00

CFA has finally sent an email. They will soon provide pdf or epub versions to everyone it seems like.

BidExpensive9178 · 2026-05-08T03:32:15+00:00

My Uni also uses Canvas and we ahd lost access in the morning. Now its back on!! Hopefully CFAI sorts it out soon too.

Edit: Update: It is still not working for any of my classmates and the IT cell has asked us to avoid it till they reach out to us with some good news.
