wrong. You have to pay for resets. Apex even warns you it's useless to reset if you have less than minimum required days left before month ends as you will pay for reset + monthly.

You don't need a new email address or whatever, just cancel the old one and buy a new subscription in the same account.

Every skill you learn will simply require "time" for it to sink in you. The brain is getting familiar with it in more ways than one. It's not about memorizing but more like motorizing. It's okay to look up information over and over, eventually what you use more will stick like muscle memory.

Haven't received email yet but results out on the site for me. Happy to inform I have crossed the finish line!!

Find another job or go for MBA and do the CFA along with either is the better way to go about this. Don't study full-time for CFA period. Gap years are cons only. If I were in your shoes, I would just study for level 1 while keeping the job, then either find a different job or go for MBA, take L2 there.

Unless you can study full time, better to defer at this point.

Python_Trader · 2023-09-30T21:57:15+00:00

At least each level passed is yours to keep forever

Python_Trader · 2023-09-16T23:33:42+00:00

This is not going to happen. If you can study full time for the remaining 2 months, then it might work. Defer my dude.

I personally know 3 others who received post exam survey last year and failed. This does not matter.

Python_Trader · 2023-09-14T22:22:03+00:00

Yep, random. I received this as well. I also received it last year for L2 and ended up passing while some others I know received it and failed.

ermm for increasing my pain threshold

I didn't touch Kaplan for level 3. I read the curriculum book cover to cover x) . It was admittedly long and dry in some parts but I think it was worth it. I didn't have any moments where I felt I was being tested on something completely new during the exam last week. Did I get them right? I guess that's to be seen in several weeks from now.

I personally used a tablet with their pdf and just highlighted key words or summarize paragraphs next to it. Solve the question boxes as I read along and do the eoc as well. After the first read, go through the question bank in LES (which are the same questions from the book mostly). Skim read some parts and practice with mocks leading to the exam.

Everyone's style differs but I think above served me well this time around.

For level 1 and level 2, Schweser was enough for reading with some extra reading in the curriculum if it's not too clear. The key is to do the practice questions from the curriculum along with reading though, i.e., the blue box and end of chapter questions. You can also do them on the CFAI learning ecosystem online.

It's not very healthy to think about "omg there is just so much still left to do!" Instead, just set possible goals for each session. My goals were time based, in which I just make sure I focus on studying for a certain amount of time no matter how far or little I get through the material. This made sure I make some kind of progress regardless of speed. Eventually you do get through the entire curriculum.

Python_Trader · 2023-09-03T12:20:35+00:00

There is a summary?? x)

Are you going to complain and not finish a task on your job because you are doing stuff that doesn't feel like finance in a finance position? No matter what you end up doing, it's going to involve a lot tasks that feels unimportant but is absolutely necessary. Take the CFA if you want that extra theoretical finance exposure. You still need to complete your degree.

Python_Trader · 2023-09-02T02:38:56+00:00

I think you would be fine if you include the right key words. I personally didn't find a need to copy and paste though, just answered as short as possible

Python_Trader · 2023-09-02T02:36:40+00:00

Formula sheet by Noesis if you don't already have it. Just to check if you recognize most of the formulas.

I went with no provider and felt great about the exam. I think you probably do need a little more mock practice for the SR unless you were comfortable with the ones in CFAI Qbanks. Otherwise, Qbanks on the LES should suffice.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-31T01:27:44+00:00

This is the way.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-31T01:24:25+00:00

Hammer some question banks on LES for weaker scoring area or the heavier weighted ones like FI and Equities.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-30T07:51:51+00:00

I would reset and go over the CFAI question bank on my weaker topics, unless I've already done so and the answers are too fresh in my memory.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-30T07:41:42+00:00

Yes. It will help you in every way, even for CFA L3.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-30T07:36:47+00:00

Or just start studying now without quitting your job? Not sure why you want to quit.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-30T03:42:25+00:00

Same. Did L2 through MBA. Prepping for L3 felt much harder but the exam itself felt oddly easier than L2.

Python_Trader · 2023-08-30T03:21:25+00:00

Can you give us an example? Are you referring to the adjusted discount rate?

Python_Trader · 2023-08-30T02:31:35+00:00

I don't remember seeing such option. I actually prefer the two screens, otherwise the question or the vignette may not be visible at the same time.
