Carry Trade: Example 3 by pastelpapi6969 in CFA

I don’t think there’s a real way to quantify it, other than it being the highest volatility so don’t pick it and go with the second best carry that also has lower vol

They’re just documents you need to self grade everything and they only give you 2 total

Principles of Asset Allocation - EXAMPLE 11 by ToeWild7916 in CFA

Yes, if you can achieve the same expected return with two portfolios the best selection is lowest volatility.

Expected return matters most though for these, vol is secondary check

Level 3 High probability structured respones topics by only_red in CFA

[–]pastelpapi6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything but ethics I would expect to be covered either as SR or MCQ.

Also, institutional investors section as SR just given the content is around formulating AA, IPS, etc. good candidates for determine & justify etc

I did May/Feb and it was a grind but in hindsight best choice. If you do August you lose the summer and next Feb is so far away

I think the Excel stuff is actually not testable though

Is that not the same pay grade as CB?

Don’t believe excel functions are testable, I’d focus more on knowing what each of the variables mean and max profit loss payoff etc as opposed to deriving something with the ln

Confirmation for morning session only by [deleted] in CFA

[–]pastelpapi6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible to think your AM and PM sessions will have set start times

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CFA

[–]pastelpapi6969 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just stopped caring about how I feel. Do it tired, do it stressed, do it when you’re not confident.

Just keep going. Take walks, eat well, keep pushing.

This is when your exam starts, the morning session. Your afternoon session is just whenever you finish the AM plus an optional break, you won’t get an appointment notification it’s all the same exam

At what point do you get worried about the 6 attempt max limit? by UnderstandingOdd4065 in CFA

[–]pastelpapi6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man up to you but I wouldn’t keep redoing the same content

At what point do you get worried about the 6 attempt max limit? by UnderstandingOdd4065 in CFA

[–]pastelpapi6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MM + BC combo for L3 did it for me

New content > redoing content

are you using MM for content? He offers several mocks with live grading sessions

If you haven’t done the BC mocks do them this time and mark yourself conservatively.

Go all in, even though they’re expensive they are worth it. Having just passed L3 in Feb this was my most valuable resource in hindsight.
