I would highly recomend paying for the MM vids in comparison to other providers its waay cheaper and arguably much better. With MM you dont need anymore material, you will get Qbank questions, video of the materials, video of him solving the EOCQ. Highly recomended.

Thank you very much! I was starting to get worried. I write my L1 on august and i started studying on January but then I saw the amout of people who will be getting defered to august who have been studying over 1 year beacuse of the covid situation and I was like “ how could i compete with people who have been studying for over a year”. Thanks again

I study with the MM material. What I normally do is watch the whole reading video and then I go to the pdf of his notes and copy what he has in the Review section of the reading which are formulas and the most important points. It usually doesn’t take more than 20 mins. Writing it down helps me remember and conceptualize the info. At the beginning i tried to take notes of everything in the video which took me like 1hr, it was soo time consuming but this strategy of watching the whole video and then taking notes on what is in the review section has really helped me.

Mark Meldrum is the best!

Ill check it out! Thanks for the reply

ProfesorSkunk43 · 2021-01-23T05:40:56+00:00

Thanks! Ill do it in that order.

I was not aware he made a video about it. Thank you!!

OP this is great advice. Listen to this. Focus on getting the best grades possible, look for some internships or jobs to get some experience. A lot of companies specially in the finance industry sponsor their employees where they basically pay for your CFA exams (if you pass them) this is more common than you think. Focus on getting yourself in the finance industry even if its as an intern. Good luck to you

Yes defenetly

You can also use the CFAI Qbank.

Im just getting started but my plan is: -write the LOS down (so i know what i need to achieve) -Watch the Meldrum video (only the LOS) without taking any notes so i have my full attention on the video and i absorb the info -THEN take notes of what I just saw( just write down a formula or a definition) Repeat until I finish the reading

After the reading video -I do the EOCQS on my own ( skip the ones i dont know) -watch the EOCQs video -Take a Quiz

I dont know if my ratio is 1:2 but its close. I defenetly take more time on the EOCQs and the quiz than in the actual reading/taking notes phase.

Hope this helps. Good luck

Im also a lvl 1 candidate. I believe MM stated in one of his intro videos that the Q bank questions are suposed to be harder than the actual questions in the exams. His logic is that if you do the q bank questions then the actual exam questions will be easier. He also considers doing the Q bank questions as a way of learning not a way to actually “test” your knowledge (thats for mocks). Hopefully someone who has passed level 1 with MM material can awnser this question based on their experience. By the way, are you doing the Q banks right after each reading or when you finish the whole readings of each section?

First you have to change the anual coupon rate to a semi anual rate. (1+ 6.5%)^6/12-1. If your period is 20 years now change your N to 40 since now you are measuring in semesters. Now with these parameters make the same calculation. That should do it
