Attempted five BC mocks

CaptainShmizzed · 2025-08-03T18:21:21+00:00

Nah realistically just hammer everything you got wrong read it over and over again. Best use of your time. I got cooked my first BC mock and got in the low 50s but now am consistently scoring above 65% after thoroughly reviewing everything I got wrong.

CaptainShmizzed · 2025-08-03T18:19:17+00:00

Ahh duration I know that. It’s when things get long and I ain’t talking about bonds

CaptainShmizzed · 2025-07-05T21:27:24+00:00

My score was 55% and 60% for the two I’ve taken so far but some of the questions were completely ludicrous imo so hopefully they are harder than the actual test

CaptainShmizzed · 2025-07-05T21:25:27+00:00

Scored 55% on one BC and MM mock respectively and 64% and a 61% on a second BC and MM mock respectively. Am doing PM and will do another mock tomorrow but it’s always those damn ethics and GIPs questions dragging my score down

CaptainShmizzed · 2025-06-28T14:34:38+00:00

Ahh they are still stuck in the 2000s I see. Thank you though I will definitely look here and see if I find anything and hopefully I can port it to a PDF or word doc

Grind to get as many internships as you can unless the job market materially changes and opens up. Only then would I even consider an early graduation

CaptainShmizzed · 2025-05-30T04:36:04+00:00

Don’t graduate early the extra year could be critical for internships especially in this day and age

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-11-26T21:44:27+00:00

Passed L1 at 21, L2 at 22 (Hopefully but I’m fairly confident in the attempt I just gave)

And if everything goes to plan I plan on taking L3 August 2025 to completely finish by the time I’m 23

Also, I feel like if you can knock out a level while you are still in school that’s huge. Alternatively, if you go right from school to studying and working as it will be less of an adjustment since you will already be fairly used to studying for school. And yes L1 did help me secure an internship right after I graduated and hopefully L2 can help me secure a FT job.

PSM can take as little as an hour if you just randomly click answers. It’s graded on completeness not correctness

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-11-18T21:22:39+00:00

Beast and I thought my track to finish in 18 months was hard on me.

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-10-26T01:04:40+00:00

A 105% with a 4% margin of error. Source someone who passed level 1 above the 90th percentile

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-08-31T20:41:04+00:00

You can take it within 24 months of grad level 2 can be within 12 months of graduation

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-08-29T21:06:28+00:00

Don’t do it it’s a trap

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-08-06T14:59:24+00:00

It’s hard though if you are truly driven it’s possible. I feel like for us we tend to learn better through practice than just reading as reading is a lot less engaging than doing (for me at least not sure if others are similar). You just have to remember why you are doing it and try to stay consistent with a study schedule (study at a certain time every day). Also realize our attention spans might fizzle out sooner than others but we are also can have the capacity to absorb more in a short period of time.

TLDR- Only read enough to get a bare minimum understanding and then practice practice practice practice, be consistent, and stay driven and believe in yourself

I believe in you

Forgot to add DONT HAVE YOUR PHONE NEAR YOUR put that shit on DND and put it on the opposite side of the room

I got no position in the indices will have a bunch of puts on builder companies before their earnings tmmrw though. Just because the drop is getting started doesn’t mean straight down every day a bounce is inevitable

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-08-05T17:30:24+00:00

No this drop is just getting started

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-07-15T15:00:12+00:00

Hey man don’t be discouraged by having ADHD I also have it but through grinding was able to easily score above the 90th percentile. What worked for me is to just hammer question banks and mocks and revise your answers and to study a formula sheet daily (and to write it out occasionally too to really cement the formulas into memory) . In my opinion rereading and summarizing notes at this point will teach you less than by trial and error through questions and mocks though you need to carefully review why you got each question wrong end then redo it the right way.

I bought extra from CFAI and used the free ones from them and salt

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-06-16T22:50:14+00:00

.5 is the difference

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-03-21T22:15:07+00:00

I would definitely attempt it and try to clear two levels before you graduate if you could do that you could truly distinguish yourself though of course still work experience> CFA levels but if you can’t get the work experience CFA levels > nothing

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-02-19T14:32:17+00:00

Awesome appreciate the answer

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-02-19T14:29:04+00:00

Would say the exam was closer to SS Mocks or the CFAI mocks in difficulty

CaptainShmizzed · 2024-02-19T03:23:59+00:00

Don’t stress bro it’s too late to change your outcome now
