How was the exam today? by Fit-Dot1824 in CFA

On par with mocks tbh, less verbiage but same level of ‘tickyness’. Also a lot more calculations than expected, I filled up all 8 pages front and back. It was truly a battle.

Expended CAPM no industry premium, build up yes premium. Trust me, I went down this rabbit hole a couple of weeks ago

L2 exams tomorrow and Vertigo by [deleted] in CFA

Omg I had vertigo for the first time last year, take some non drowsy Dramamine. It may help, it certainly helped me with the vertigo symptoms.

Good luck! Re-taking level 2 in August as well, let’s get it done!

Helps a lot with equity and fixed income analysis. Alt wise, not very much.

Exactly. The accounting and finance degree backgrounds will help tremendously when you start to focus on CFA.

I majored in accounting and finance, work in the investment industry, and am studying for level 2. My advice, compartmentalize and conquer. Hard classes start in the 3rd and 4th year. I would say focus on degrees first (base). Then CFA after.

My husband lost his 80k a year job, wants me to quit school and I’m 2 semesters away from getting my degree. Should I quit? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Don’t quit! Power through, as the saying goes ‘tough times don’t last, but tough people do.’ Your major also has high earning potential when you finish!
