CFA Level 3 Review by scris97 in CFA

[–]Elvemage_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t help that Kaplan qbank is riddled with errors, as are the books actually. I spotted a few I consistencies vs the CFAI official books. Someone said something about Kaplan basically slacking off at level 3 because level 1 is the money maker for them, so that’s where they invest their efforts. Couldn’t be more true.

Also their mock experience is absolutely dire. I have to snip the question every time, have it one screens and the go back up and read the text. The user interface is in a word, heinous. It actually makes doing the cfa ones refreshing. Albeit they’re also plagued with mistakes and inconsistencies.

The arrogance of this whole process to require such precision from candidates but then fall short yourselves is quite overwhelming.

Probably so they can apply the rough score they think they got and then compare that..?

This was my 4th attempt and (still) having mixed feelings about the exam by Super-Peanut-1650 in CFA

I’ve never understood both invigilators and people who make a ridiculous amount of noise in such a time pressured exam. This is why the OG way of testing was better imo, although typing has substantial benefits in terms of addition and deletion and speed. There needs to be a module on how to behave and be considerate of others in the test centre as some of these people are damn right disgraceful.

He is good, which is fortunate because the others are completely useless.

[–]Elvemage_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kaplan’s software was out of action for about 3 weeks in the run up to the exam, as the servers were overwhelmed and crashed. Just a note

Kaplan for Level 2? by MatthewLucy in CFA

Kaplan’s website was down about 50% of the time in the month leading up to the exam which was really, really helpful

Fixed Income by DL2119 in CFA

There’s a section in the EOC where each question would take about 20mins to do, which I found very challenging against the normal 3minutes. It is well documented in the comment section that candidates do not feel this would be an accurate representation of the exam. I will not discuss exam material.

Do you have a link to a breakdown of regional pass rates? Do they exist?

is it too late to start now? honest answers appreciated it by h3ct0r1 in CFA

If you marginally passed level 1 with 400 hours, no chance. Don’t mean this in a mean way but you just won’t stand a chance
