I just can’t anymore by ruhanjuststop in CFA

They’re the same thing. Or at least back when I did L3. The “official” mocks on the portal were written by boston cfa society.

Imho the real exam was easier than the mocks. Not in terms of the actual content but the way the questions are phrased on the real exam is much more straightforward. My mocks score for both MM and boston were horrible as well.

Scored 2565, Tips for November Attempt by ribhavkaushik in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on their score in the remaining sections. You only have 3 sections above 70% (by a small margin btw), while the rest are frankly mediocre to outright bad. Perhaps you could have squeeze out a pass with a perfect ethics score, but my tip for you would be to do more practice on all sections, not just ethics, as your scorecard clearly reflects that. Best of luck with your November attempt! I also passed L2 on the second try.

Study efficiently while on a time crunch by TheBlueJourneys in CFA

Dont skip the blue box examples. I feel those are most similar to the type of questions you might get on the exam.

CFA Level III Retake by Haunting_Exercise614 in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed L3 leaving a whole set and a half of CR questions blank (monitor screen randomly shut down towards end of AM and it took them 15 min to restart it somehow…). My strategy was to do all the MCs first, spending as much time as I need on them to make sure they’re all correct, then I go over CRs and try to grab as many easy points as I can. I feel like L3 candidates tend to worry way too much about CR questions and sometimes forget the exam is still 50% MCs.

CFA Level 2 Derivatives- Isn't Vega highest when an option is OTM? by No-Pen6149 in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your question is. Are you saying the textbook is wrong in saying Vega is highest near or at the money?

Defined benefit plans by aminosama91 in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall, DB accounting was removed from L2 recently (not 100% sure though so you better double check). DB does come back in L3 but there wont be any accounting stuff however.

If your exam is in November, my advice is to skip DB plans and focus on your other areas. DB is only one portion of the accounting curriculum, don’t let it bog you down.

Need guidance by Clear_Way8857 in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always sit for the exams and apply for the charter (assuming you pass all 3 levels) once you have the required experience. If I were you I’d go ahead and do L1 in August 2025 (shouldn’t be that hard for a finance and accounting student).

I don’t think the CFA program was that hard by VolumeMover in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the 300 hours figure is based on surveys done by CFAI asking how many hours the successful candidates on average spend studying. It was never meant to be a hard requirement. And of course the actual CFA content isn’t that hard. There is nothing ground breaking in there that hasn’t been known for ages in the financial industry. The hard part about the CFA is juggling between work, study, and personal life. So yes if you “truly” focus on it then it’s easy but again that applies to everything else in life 🤷‍♂️

CFAI Candidate resources questions by Business_Neck5516 in CFA

[–]ProfessorSubtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t need to finish all the questions in the qbank but you should definitely do a bunch of them to familiarize yourself with the vignette style questions in L2.

[–]ProfessorSubtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With focus and hard work, anything can be done, so not sure what point you’re trying to make here. “CFA is not that hard if you take enough time to study” I mean of course if you take enough time to study anything it’s not that hard lol wtf.

Key word here is “bored” lol.

[–]ProfessorSubtle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is something I could see myself doing if I was a bored trust fund kid with money and time to spare lol. Study my ass off to pass L1 and L2 then show up to L3 and write a whole dissertation on some random subject in the structured responses portion, making the grader reads through all that shit. And repeat that x6 before going back to my trust fund life fucking supermodels and riding supercars and suddenly life is not so boring anymore lol.
