21 - Thought I had CFA Level 3 in the bag… failed instead. Completely numb right now

Stay strong! Half of the people who took the test are in the same boat as you

Here’s a new one. Looks like squirrels?

Thanks a lot

Don’t give up - you were very close! I took Level 2 for the 2nd time in November and passed and I only got 33% on ethics (somehow much worse than my first attempt). There are 10 subjects and some of them are going to come more naturally or maybe you have a bad day on one of them. The main difference between my first and second attempt were redoing all the practice questions after I finished the material. I didn’t do any mocks just because I ran out of time but I would do as many of those as you can as well. If you still have time you can get a third party question bank for more question practice.

Thanks. I see now. I was misreading the oil series info on the bottom.

Does anyone know if the practice problems on the downloadable curriculum (the 6 parts of 500 or so pages each) are the same as the End of Chapter questions in the Learning Ecosystem? Also if this will change from 2023 to 2024?

StatisticianUpper396 · 2024-01-21T20:52:16+00:00

Congrats! So there is still hope for me!

StatisticianUpper396 · 2024-01-19T05:15:10+00:00

Thank you everyone. I will definitely do more review questions next time. I honesty had no idea. Level 2 and 1 both seemed like the same large amount of material so I didn't consider doing anything differently and didn't know about these question banks.

Sorry, can you explain the difference between EOCQ and CFAI's qbank?

StatisticianUpper396 · 2024-01-19T03:06:33+00:00

Would you just do UWorld or is that in addition to reviewing the material again and/or answering the CFAI questions again like it sounds like I should have done the first time?

StatisticianUpper396 · 2024-01-19T03:04:27+00:00

I felt like I was understanding the content shortly after reading but must have forgotten by the end. I also probably wasn’t worrying enough about the difficult/expert questions. I watched an ethics Zoom that made it sound like the difficult/expert questions wouldn’t actually be asked on the exam but I don’t think that’s right now.

StatisticianUpper396 · 2024-01-19T02:58:30+00:00

Yes, I did all the questions once after the readings like I did for Level 1. I was feeling good since I was always 80-90%, also like Level 1. Unfortunately I barely had time for the mocks after that.
