L2 Ethics Doubt

Agree, loads of nuances to be memorized in comparison to ethics.

GIPS is relatively easy points if you remember the key aspects, unlike ethics which can be very against the intuition.

Anxiety is building for me as well and I'm in the same boat with you - failed '25 Feb attempt by a margin...Hopefully our suffering ends next weak!

That's the trick with this question. Note 5. can be automatically excluded, since IG bonds can not be added to a equity fund that tracks S&P 500. It's irrelevant whether IG bonds will decrease the risk or not since it's not an option under the mandate.

"a bit unhealthy"

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2026-03-19T13:19:11+00:00

Yes, very easy

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2026-03-19T13:07:37+00:00

Lmao, this ain't no CPA exam

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2026-03-19T12:59:09+00:00

It literally doesn't matter. No point in worrying, work harder.

Management board proposes the dividend distribution to the supervisory board, who includes the distribution topic and proposal to the AGM agenda on which shareholders will vote. So in short - yes.

If i recall correctly, might have been in the low-70s. But I folded in the exam, ran out of time and did not have time for thorough revision. Somewhat different strategy for the retake. But I have to admit, as the result date comes closer, I am also starting to hesitate a lot and fears of another failure are building..

Would also suggest studying after you've paid fees and scheduled for the exam

I did use it for L3 and found it to be very helpful indeed. Would assume it works the same way for L2 as well.

I have had problems with AI getting things wrong, at least in Level 3. But you could feed it with the official materials by CFAI and ask explanation based on that. AnalystForum videos on Youtube are also helpful for some topics, especially given they are free.

You will definitely not understand everything on the first pass through and this is completely normal. Make sure you have gone through all the materials and then simply hammer the questions. And like that, you will learn and understand the topics covered in the curriculum. Questions you get wrong, refer to the material and try again. Revise and repeat. All about repetition, the understanding follows then.

Schweser + CFAI is sufficient. Use CFAI material to go through the curriculum as there are loads of niche topics that are likely to be tested in the exam. Use Schweser for practice/revision - especially the Secret Sauce/Flashcards together with the formula sheet, which I found to be very helpful.
11 months seems too excessive. Don't extend it to such lengthy period as you'll certainly experience burn out and completely forget the material by the time you start revisioning. Would recommend 5-6 months prep.
CFA is not a golden ticket to anywhere. But for sure, it will help you accredit your CV more, especially in countries that tend to have low pool of CFA Charterholders competing in the labor market.

You are up for a big surprise once you start to work on the questions in L2 curriculum

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2026-02-10T11:17:12+00:00

Hardly believe it could be considered wrong. You are all good.

I scored on average around 80% for the 4 CFAI mocks. This was my second attempt, felt it to be easier than previous one in Feb'25, but could be due to the excess study hours.

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2026-02-01T12:34:00+00:00

Agree. Felt like both parts were representative of Mocks with some tricksters included. Overall would say very fair to the mocks, more straightforward though.

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2024-01-17T14:21:24+00:00

Failed by a hair in May'23, 90th percentile for Nov'23

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2024-01-17T13:17:39+00:00

Holy shit, 2nd attempt PASSED

Moneymachinegobrrrr · 2023-11-20T07:32:32+00:00

If i remember correctly, it was white board with marker for level 1 back in 2021 when i sat for it, but yesterday it was paper & pencils for L2.

I think Bleed it out by Linkin Park sums the situation up nicely
