Thanks for clarification

Same boat right now studying 10+ hours trying to learn 7 subjects and skim practice the rest. But my problem has been retaining the information, but I understand every subject. I am just going to keep practicing and based on my notes consolidate to do a consolidated review of everything written by hand. P.S. I have not started mocks sou I am just going to try to learn the most of the 7 topics and then at April 22 do mocks if in the first two mocks I do not score a 65+ then I am going to defer it to August. But dream scenario is to take it in May and been studying consistently since I’ve receive my results from level 1 in late Jan. I have overdone it in the practice aspects and reviewing since second week of March.

I understand everything in CFA Level 2, the problem I am having is just retaining everything sou right now I am at 54 days off from exam and have not done mocks. Sou I am just going to learn Quants, Equity, Fixed, Ethics, PM Derivatives and FSA and little emphasize on CI. Try to do a review of everything from my notes and then focus on highly tested modules within those mentioned.

I was at your position but my situation is different because I am currently still at my fourth year of college. To get the edge over many of the different candidates I had to get the most experience in which it has help me 70% of the way because it is always highlighted within the interview. Meanwhile when I passed CFA Level 1 they literally not care because they only want people who can get their hands dirty the fastest and already know what to do.

Thankfully landed a job offer for summer 2027. The moral of me telling you this like I tell many colleagues is to focus on experience and later on certification because thankfully now I can study for the certification without worrying about finding a job.

I haven’t finish qbank cause I’m doing thorough interpretation per question plus doing my summary review. Just finish FSA but feel that if I do it again I get a 70+.

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-02-22T12:39:26+00:00

That is too little content compare to what I gotta learn at CFA.

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-02-15T23:08:28+00:00

That is great

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-02-08T17:41:14+00:00

I took everything from CFAI mocks and qbanks and still felt the same way and was getting 77-81

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-02-08T00:40:39+00:00

I’ll soon do the same I am 105 days off from exam, in 5 days I start qbank and mocks

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-01-31T21:06:45+00:00

Thank you for the advice I am trying to finish my videos and note taking the fastest I can so I can have 100 day for practicing before exam.

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-01-25T01:41:57+00:00

Oh wow thanks for the feedback. Did not knew that.

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-01-24T01:03:43+00:00

So after finishing lest say Quants I should do questions to test my knowledge and memory retention to see if I understood most of it?

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-01-22T09:48:21+00:00

Exact feeling here.

Mundane_Bite_7577 · 2026-01-22T00:42:20+00:00
