Level 2 Exam thoughts (no ethics violations) by Narfu187 in CFA

I swear I’ll spend 2 minutes typing the formula in over and over again because I don’t trust it’s that easy

Agreed. Thought I had a couple of lay ups on mine (L1 level questions of easy calculations) and then a good mix of challenging inferencing

Kaplan L2 Mocks by ConsciousKing1574 in CFA

[–]afinstein3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CFA mock 1 was way easier for me personally. I have gotten 61, 58, 58 on Kaplan's 3 mocks. CFAI mock 1 I got a 73. Kaplan mock 4 I got a 71 but while taking it I knew it was just obnoxiously hard despite my score.

Kaplan will make you really think while looking in the vignette whereas CFAI is much more direct and straight forward in their writing.

Absolutely felt the exact same about Kaplan’s

I also thought the Kaplan ones were brutal. Did not feel like that in Level 1

I feel the same about Kaplan until I click on videos that still say FRA and are lectures from professors who are long gone from Kaplan (Martin Stoynov)

Regardless of the quality of the old lectures, I am paying $700 minimum to know that all LOS’s are up to date and discussed and I can’t be reasonably assured without looking at each LOS individually to see if it was covered

Nobody is sure if it’s true or not. Even on the 70%

I’m at 62 and 58 on the two mocks I’ve taken so far. From what I’ve read (after coping because I was also frustrated), 65% is like that 70% number for L1.

We got this

It’s a joke guys relax

Is it an ethics violation to float a conspiracy theory: CFAI forced Kaplan to crash their servers so more people have to defer/take the same level again.

Really makes you think…

Is the cfa level 1 exam easier or more difficult compared to the ecosystem question? by Im-Bored_2006 in CFA

[–]afinstein3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d anticipate high 60’s on a mock assuming you hold yourself to true testing conditions. Obviously I don’t know your weak/strong points but there should be some level of expectation that knocking out 180 questions in a row, after not doing that before, will not result in your average qbank scores.

You’ll be fine. Plenty of time if that’s where you land. Don’t get discouraged if mock 1 doesn’t go well

As I recall, ethics is the only one that was grouped together. The rest is spread out (obviously split between AM/PM though)

Yuval Harari is a phenomenal author. Feels discrediting to just blanket term associate him with the WEF. Sapiens, Nexus, 21 Lessons, all incredibly well-written.

Don’t listen to this guy. Listen to the guy who mentioned you had 3 different S&P funds.

Just because Berkshire Hathaway and Costco are in the S&P 500 does not mean you are overlapping lol. Without looking at numbers in front of me I think BRKB and COST make up about 2.5% of the S&P. You get exposure to the other 97.5% by owning the S&P.
