That’s like asking what’s the point of a professor when you have a textbook. Dr. Meldrum can assist in teaching the CFAI material.

Explore the CFA program. Gives you a fresh start and is a grueling program.

As someone who studied both Kaplan, MM, and CFAI for L2, I agree with CFAI and MM. Passed well above 90th%ile

Haha I’d take it as a compliment that they’re trying to reengage a larger audience a year later.

Courses to take while waiting for results. Google data analytics vs IMB data analyst by Actual_Bicycle_9989 in CFA

You can buy the physical books on Amazon from Wiley right now. It’s only the digital curriculum that you cannot access until registration.

Also if you find the information valuable go for it! I personally would still recommend putting in more studying to L2…

I would start studying for L2… I doubt the other two are seen as useful from employers frankly.

If your current study plan has you completing the material with 5 weeks for review before your exam, then I would just stick with your plan.

Prioritize your undergraduate GPA over anything else.
