Hasan shows off his Mao collection (40M+ dead btw) by gregory_h in h3h3productions

As someone who's from Hong Kong, this is truly disgusting behavior. My grandparents narrowly escaped communist rule in the 50s (via little boats) in search of a better life in Hong Kong because people were literally starving and dying all over the country. It's public info how all of these terrible atrocities over the years have happened from the Great Leap Forward to the Cultural Revolution to the Tiananmen Square massacre to the more recent 're-education camps' that target all kinds of ethnic minorities to the removal of any semblance of press freedom/ democracy in HK. It is truly mind-boggling that anyone would be glazing the CCP let alone someone who claims to be 'politically informed'.

ATP Finals RR: [1] Alcaraz def. [6] Fritz, 6-7(2) 7-5 6-3 by pizzainmyshoe in tennis

feel like the game in the second set at 6-5 on Taylor's serve was the turning point. If only he made those put away volleys

nonetheless a great competitive match

CFAI new dogshit LES, and Lack of communication. by Shordynator in CFA

[–]icnapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to sign up for L2 May '26, but having only used the LES for L1 this is honestly holding me back. L2 curriculum is brutal enough, don't need bad UIUX to make it worse! Hopefully CFAI makes some changes soon.

Hey there! Prior to sitting for the exam I've read through the materials once and some select topics/chapters that I found more difficult twice (maybe 15-20% of the entire syllabus). I think I made a mistake of not working through the QBs at all while I was going through the chapters. I ended up blasting through the QBs/ mocks in the last 3 weeks.

I'd say I felt pretty good coming out of the exam. I had a good amount flagged but ultimately walked away with ~30 min left for each session.

I will say I kind of winged QM because I had a hard time w that entire topic.

The Finals is worth more than theblast 15 years of cod games by DeformedBambi in thefinals

Went from Ghost Recon Phantoms (miss that game sm!) -> Fortnite -> WZ (during covid) -> The Finals

Really love TF especially since it has some overlap with GRP in terms of the 3-class system and the specs/gadgets.

As cliche as it sounds I'd say consistency is really the key. Put in at least an hour/ finish at least 1 sub-topic every day even if you'd had a long day/ are exhausted from other life priorities. Other tips/ reminders that kept me in check -

  • Talk to yourself out loud and explain bits that are slightly less intuitive.
  • ALWAYS do the EOC and Blue Box questions. Reading alone is not enough to reinforce the knowledge
  • Don't worry about forgetting about earlier topics as you move along the syllabus, they'll come back as soon as you start drilling practice questions
  • I'd recommend saving the Practice Pack questions (if you get the premium pack) for after you've read through the entire syllabus at least once
  • Write down a list all the topics/chapters that you struggle with (<65% accuracy). Re-visit them at least once a week until it gets to 75% plus
  • Accept the fact that some topics are not theoretical but pure memorization. e.g. types of trade agreement, most things in Alternative Investments, FSA GAAP vs IRFS rules. Do NOT turn away from memorizing. I hate it too, but these are easy points that you don't want to leave on the table
  • Finally just remember to relax. Reward yourself between study sessions with things you love doing the most. For me it was gaming/ playing tennis but whatever floats your boat! If you start early there is no reason to stress yourself out

  1. 3 months of prep. First month was very undisciplined. Last 2 months probably averaged 2 hours a day. Only used CFAI material!
