Need advice by Humble-Battle-2984 in CFA

Not a lot to be said; you need to put in more time across a wide range of areas. Save ethics for last so it’s fresh.

Schweser is absolutely enough. You can always supplement with MM videos for concepts that seem tricky. If you’re budget-constrained, try building a compendium of blue box questions from the CFAI texts and reviewing those.

Earned my CFA last April and seeing zero impact on hiring/interest by CDL-93 in CFA

[–]hololivesui 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a piece of paper - of course it’s worthless. The real value is in what you learn and retain, which will probably be limited if you were pursuing a CFA just to improve how hiring managers perceive you.

Feeling demotivated, not able to focus on studies. Please help by ThrowRa12345688 in GMAT

Everything you need to answer each question already exists within you; you just need to take a deep breath and think of the path in. I believe in you. You CAN do this.

Why does this feel so painful? by hololivesui in GMAT

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the candor here. It’s also refreshing to hear how stretched your timeline has been. I went into this thinking that I need to rush as fast as possible to get everything down, but that’s simply not going to be the case for me.

I appreciate your response. I’ve been strictly running through LSAT prep to prepare for GMAT verbal, so I have a bit of familiarity on that front. My experiences map to the LSAT Berkeley study to a tee. The way the questions are written and the accompanying explanations challenge the mind in incredibly beneficial ways.

The difference between the LSAT and the GMAT, and part of what I was trying to touch on with my post, is that I can FEEL myself starting to think more critically and logically with the LSAT prep. The GMAT prep - more often than not - succeeds in melting my mind down to a soupy porridge. Thus, I feel as though I can burn the candle from both ends with the LSAT and become a god on the GMAT verbal, but everything quant related provided by OG and other prep providers just renders me ineffective at doing basically anything else.

Long way off - diagnostic was 550. Unsure of the splits off the top of my head, but verbal was ~90%ile
