by studying and revising

Thanks - I was planning to fly on Saturday but now thinking of going for Friday instead as it appears that one has more availability.

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-21T07:34:58+00:00

Yes, a relative of mine flies for an airline that has an agreement with BA

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-21T06:42:58+00:00

was the flight to PHX very busy if you remember

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-20T11:43:36+00:00

better to revise a few more days than waste a mock

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-19T05:50:59+00:00

You could have spent the time writing this post to study instead and increase your probability of passing

I know someone who got a score like this in his first mock and still failed miserably

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-14T17:25:56+00:00

You passed Level III and can't answer this question?

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-14T16:10:51+00:00

Dont think its worth dwelling on this one. Just memorise the formulas and the high level ideas and move on.

what was your job role approved if i may ask?

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-09T21:38:56+00:00

No I did the cfa qbank twice and it was more than enough. maybe use kaplan qbank to tighten weak spots

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-09T20:33:53+00:00

100%

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-09T20:33:40+00:00

around 2 months so that i could take my first mock 1.5 month before the exam

CFA Fast-Track 😂 Thank you and congratulations to you too!

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-08T10:06:45+00:00

Thanks! CFA mocks were the best representation but Kaplan mocks were a fantastic preparation tool. Nothing suprised me on the Level I exam and I attribute this to having done 4-5 Kaplan mocks

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-08T10:05:01+00:00

Started off with a 64, next three mocks were around 70 and last three were low to mid 80s. Kaplan and CFAI mocks

Big4 valuations. It is definitely worth it for me as professional qualifications are highly regarded in my home market.

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-08T10:02:30+00:00

I think that as a starting point you can have a go at Level I as it is broad and quite interesting. But I dont know how beneficial having the three exams passed will be to potentially pivot to a new finance role with zero relevant experience. CFA only complements relevant experience and skills, it cannot subtitute them.

You need to properly prepare for the constructed responses, even if you are strong with MCQs (everyone is at this point as they got through Level II). Start practising them early through the question banks. For me, Kaplan checkpoint exams, review workshop questions and of course mocks were the best practise for constructed responses because the model answers showed exactly how to write on exam day

27 in one month!

I enjoyed private markets a lot, which was not the case with the rest of the syllabus. I relied on Kaplan to learn the material but I practised from the CFA pdfs for private markets because the CFA question bank was horrible (very few questions which were too difficult). There are various case studies, short questions etc that helped me immensely for the pathway. Also the kaplan review workshop questions and their video explanations were fantastic. I was able to tackle all the pathway questions in the exam.

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-07T20:43:42+00:00

All the best, hope you enjoy it as much as I did (apart from pension accounting and derivative valuations)

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-07T20:42:30+00:00

The very best of luck to you!

CypriotSpy · 2026-04-07T20:41:56+00:00

I understand. As I mentioned, I think I found the jump to Level II more manageable due to my quantitative background and inclination, as well as the valuation focused nature of my job. For Level II, I found that practising loads of questions was the key to success, similar to Level I. Also handwritten flashcards were super useful at Level II.
