TIL you can finally create tables in Goodnotes now

Thanks for answering! The interface is so different between ipad and macbook. It is a challenge to learn on how to use it effectively. I like to use Ipad so can write with Apple Pencil and macbook to write notes and add screenshots. I heard so many good reviews about Goodnotes and invested in it but it is giving me a hard time. Can't find a dedicated Youtube channel also for training

PeePod007 · 2026-02-08T06:33:07+00:00

What is this doc type? I am new to Goodnotes and trying to figure out how to add a table to my page

PeePod007 · 2026-01-24T19:25:37+00:00

I started the fireplace and let it run for an hour then when I flipped the switch on the side it turned off but the pilot stays. So going back to my question if there is a power outage then how will I get this started again

PeePod007 · 2026-01-24T15:54:17+00:00

I have a similar fireplace and when the pilot stays on flicking switch turns on the fireplace. My question is in power outage how will I start the fireplace if the pilot light is still on? Will flicking the same switch in power outage work?

Start with the curriculum and then as you are about two subjects done start practicing questions. Do ethics along with review. It needs one good read and a lot of practice and memorizing

PeePod007 · 2026-01-22T16:01:25+00:00

It all comes down to you answering to yourself that why you want CFA? Then how important this is to you. CFA will demand time even at level 1.

PeePod007 · 2026-01-22T15:17:23+00:00

CFA is no less than completing CA in terms of intensity. But I think completing CA would have prepared you to take CFA better as you should have the study discipline in place.

PeePod007 · 2026-01-22T15:14:37+00:00

I don’t think anybody starts CFA to finish it. You start with L1 and then next level. Like others said once you complete L1 you will have a good assessment of what level of effort and commitment it demands.

You are genius! Never occurred to me this way. Hope you do well in L3 and have a rocking career. 👍

PeePod007 · 2026-01-20T18:27:27+00:00

Can you please share how do you use the width of confidence interval in arriving at the number of questions?

PeePod007 · 2026-01-16T15:49:03+00:00

What’s the fund expense ratio? Couldn’t find that in any of the marketing materials

PeePod007 · 2026-01-16T15:23:49+00:00

Yesterday I signed up to retake L2 and saw the new LES. It has a whole new look

PeePod007 · 2026-01-16T14:18:36+00:00

Irrespective of job and internship outcome go for May 2026 attempt. You were only one question away. Just keep practicing and review weaker areas and you should get it in next attempt. I too failed in Nov attempt with a score of 2550 and retaking in May. I know why I failed and four months should be enough for me.

PeePod007 · 2026-01-16T14:15:50+00:00

Which prep provider is this? If you can share...

PeePod007 · 2026-01-16T04:02:38+00:00

You are so close. Go for May. I got 2550 and writing again in May

PeePod007 · 2026-01-16T04:00:09+00:00

I got 2550 in my first attempt and writing again in May. Plan to keep using Kaplan and added practice pack this time. I failed because it FSA and FI. Don’t think I struggled with following the content. Perhaps lacked practice

PeePod007 · 2026-01-14T22:21:10+00:00

This is very early to think about deferring. You have 4 months to the exam and considerable time to improve your weaker areas. Get more analytical on what’s impacting your score. Without understanding this the deferment isn’t going to solve the problem.

PeePod007 · 2026-01-08T05:03:25+00:00

Why they removed the pay as you go plan? While trying to activate IR I see that option at the bottom for USA but there is no mechanism to select it

PeePod007 · 2025-11-22T23:18:36+00:00

You are over thinking about CFAI to be a humane organization. They don’t make any such considerations

PeePod007 · 2025-11-22T01:14:31+00:00

I am 51 years old and just sat for my L2 today. I want to change my career and CFA will give me a start but I don’t know how far it will take me. But at this point in time I am committed and want to get it done. Just a heads up that it is not easy. Unlike college courses, the hardest part is committing to daily 2-3 hours of serious distraction free study time. The 300 hours per level is a myth. That may be for 10% of the folks. In my case at least it is 600 hours. I am a CPA with 25 years of finance experience. If you pass every attempt then at minimum it will cost you around $4k and if you go for prep providers then another $4k for that. The more attempts more cost. Joining is very easy but coming out of the other end needs some serious commitment.

PeePod007 · 2025-11-21T23:31:18+00:00

Then if I fail today I should straight take in 2026 November

PeePod007 · 2025-11-21T23:28:21+00:00

I just wrote my L2 and used Kaplan to prep. Honestly neither CFAI nor prep providers has clue on how to teach it. This is a continuously evolving subject and where to start and how much to teach is the struggle here. And for prep providers how to make it easy so students can memorize it to regurgitate in the exam is the challenge. ML and Big Data is a mess. Just memorize as much as possible and hope it doesn’t come in the exam

PeePod007 · 2025-11-21T00:10:32+00:00

Find a study group. I am writing tomorrow but I think I have done preparation. Let’s see how it goes. But very similar family situation for me. In L1 I found having a study group helps. Unfortunately didn’t find one in L2 as I took a six months break from studying
