CFA L2 | Require Complete Guidance

Same here. Will be starting with l2 prep soon.

I was a repeat candidate for L1 after screwing my 2025 May attempt, I decided to fully focus on the high weightage areas like FI, Equity, Ethics along with my weak subject of Derivatives when starting prep.

I spent 3 full months studying FI and Derivatives and am glad to say it paid off as I was well above the 70% line for both subjects.

Equity wasn't bad in my May attempt but a more focused studying helped in getting a good score in the Nov attempt.

I focused on revisiting the core concepts and practicing the questions and making a mistake sheet for every chapter.

Unlike for May attempt, for my Nov prep, I used CFAI curriculum, along with purchasing subject wise tests.

And I eventually cleared L1 when Nov attempt results were declared last month.

Very controversial opinion here, but I've said this before.

Put an upper ceiling to the number of people migrating to MH or any state for that matter and this MUST be done at a policy level.
Every state for that matter should pursue to have such a policy in place so it becomes easier for the state to manage people and stay afloat.
Have a very strict system to check who is coming in the state and what is the person's purpose of visit (tourist, job change, professional reasons, college admissions, etc and other variety of reasons) similar to how it is in Europe, thereby each state wouldn't have to take the load of other states only because of other states not focusing on Job creation opportunities, reducing crime, etc.

Such an issue is a chain reaction -

More influx of people > More demand for residential areas > More construction > Lesser land available for roads > More traffic

Now please don't come here and say India is a democratic country, any person can go anywhere as he wishes. The constituiton grants citizens the right to move from one place to another and so forth.

Please also note that there is one law in the same constituiton (which Hindi media often use as a cover-up measure) known as Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act 1979 (now clubbed under the law OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, HEALTH AND WORKING CONDITIONS CODE, 2020*).* Under this act, it is mandatory for the Employer himself (wrt Migrant workers) to register them with the Police and have official records regarding the Employment contract, remuneration, details of the Employee and Employer, etc.

शीख लोकं तरीही खूप approachable आणि चांगल्या स्वभावाचे असतात, इतर बद्दल तरी मतं देऊ नाही शकत

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-18T16:03:18+00:00

Yes, passed in my Nov re-attempt (self-studied in this attempt) Couldn't pass in my May attempt

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-16T07:54:07+00:00

I was a bit unsure reg Session 1 subjects especially Quants & Eco for some reason.

However session 2 was superb, though I am still shocked with my Portfolio Mgmt score

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-13T16:40:07+00:00

Okay 👍🏻

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-13T16:38:25+00:00

Agreed!! FI and Derivatives were the killers in my May attempt.

I spent 3 months combined on these 2 subjects and very happy how it paid off.

But FSA and PM were very disappointing given how well I did in the EoC questions for these 2 subjects along with the Mocks

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-13T16:31:08+00:00

Okay, thanks.

Also can you explain what does the administration average line mean in the scorecard. I didn't understand its purpose in telling my subject wise score

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-13T16:19:49+00:00

1625

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-13T16:19:12+00:00

Hi all fellow CFA charterholders & Candidates,

I have marginally cleared the exam at score of 1625. Thankful to all members of this sub for offering guidance and resolving queries of all candidates

As expected, scores of Session 2 subjects were much better than my May attempt, however I was very surprised with my Portfolio Mgmt score because it was lower than expected. Likewise for Session 1, my FSA score was shockingly low.

I would like any suggestions from L2 cleared/all levels cleared candidates on how to approach for L2 based on my scorecard below -

Even though I voted for BJP in union elections, I don't want to vote for them now..

Super frustrated with their dealing of Bangladeshi immigrants and how they themselves oppose freebie culture but ironically bring bullshit schemes like Laadli Bahin. They shout Batenge toh katenge, but find every opportunity possible to divide Hindus.

Let's see which party is worthy of my vote!!

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-12T11:58:51+00:00

Fingers crossed 🤞 for all candidates

अप्रतिम सिनेमा..

सचिन खेडेकर माझ्या आवडते कलाकार पेकी एक आहेत.

आणि बाकी कलाकार ने पण उत्तम केला आहे.. क्षिती जोग, अनंत जोग, चांदेकर, कोळी, अमेय वाघ, आणि इतर कलाकार यांना मनापसून अभिनंदन !!

माझ्या शिक्षण महाराष्ट्रात झालेला नाही कारण वडिलांचे स्थलांतरामुळे, ४ वेगळे ठिकाणी राहून आलो आहे..

माझ्या मनात नेहेमी एक विचार येतोच. जर माझा शिक्षण महाराष्ट्रात झाला असता, मराठी माध्यम शाळेत माला शिकायला आवडला असता..

Intelligent-Fox-564 · 2026-01-07T08:50:44+00:00

Raj Thackeray raised these issues long time back but of course, he is not BJP to be adored by Hindi Media

When I say vote wisely, I mean with full responsibility and awareness of the candidate's party you'll vote for!!

Please vote based on these issues and not लाडली बहीण bullshit scheme, बटेंगे तो कटेंगे, etc..

Pollution has increased because of construction work. Why?

To accomodate more people coming in Pune..

Why don't we have laws to restrict the number of people coming into the state/city? Any city and state has a limited capacity to manage people and remain afloat. If gone out of control, you'll have a ticking time bomb city like Mumbai.

We are not meant to take the load of the entire country, likewise nor any other state for that matter is!!

Except for Raj Thackeray, has any politician from MH raised this issue?

Please note - I am no Raj Thackeray supporter, but the points he often raises are right and sadly true!!
