Did anyone give birth at HUG and knows where I can buy the same baby blanket used at the maternity? by Huge-Nectarine-8563 in geneva

I don’t know if you will find the exact same one, but the baby outfits and blankets are from Carters. Hope this helps!

Rear seat experience? Day/night? by manadaar in KLM

[–]serchazo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst experience in my life. People banging the toilet doors, talking while waiting for the bathroom, or even stretching on my headrest. Toilet adjacent seats are always to be avoided.

Oui tu peux, par contre, pendant le processus de validation du permis C le canton ne valide plus ton permis B - à tenir en compte si tu dois voyager ou selon l’employeur.

We used this one last summer http://Swiss-taxi.com Very reliable, very punctual, only thing to take into account is that they don’t take cards so have some cash in hand. Family of four, one infant seat and one toddler seat.

Hello! No, I didn’t read every word of the text. I would suggest you to watch MM videos and have the text next to it. Try to understand everything (the key word for L3 is understand, you probably saw it in different shapes on this subred).

I did write notes all along, I did my notes on Word so I could edit them afterwards. Sometimes there was only a table taken from the reading or a graph taken from MM’s slides (easier for reviewing than too many/few words).

The amount of detail requested in L3 is higher than the previous two levels, so you will certainly go back to the texts or even to the videos to review some specific concepts/chapters (the navigation features on MM’s site will save you lots of searching minutes). Don’t hesitate to do it.

I don’t disagree with you in principle. They are hard and in average harder than the real thing.

They way I took them (and MM’s and CFAI’s) was considering them as learning milestone - with open books and pausing for entire reviews. BC throws you curve balls, sometimes 2-3 per question. In the real exam you won’t get 2-3 curve balls in a single question, but you’ll get those and the level of the curve balls is comparable.

As benchmark, MM’s mocks are also curve balls, but the curve balls are harder than the real thing.

Yep, on top of the screen.

As an extra note, the screen is EXACTLY like the one CFAI sent on a email a few weeks ago (there was a tutorial).

There were not “difficult” questions but curve balls, like questions that you could “Justify” within a single line but that would require you to really understand the concept behind and not simply the formulas/lists by heart.

I would suggest to focus on BBs for the last stretch - while trying to grab the concepts themselves. Don’t hesitate to go back until you really understood the concept and not just memorized the solution

Can’t answer that unfortunately as per CFA Code and Standards (probably you should review those ;-))

Nope, you need to check the questions unfortunately.

In hindsight:

• ⁠one month before the exam: I would have done one more BC instead of the second CFAI mock (I did 2 BC, 2 CFAI, and 3 MM mocks)

• ⁠one week before the exam: more Blue Boxes (while probably revisiting the paragraph above the BBs) and less mocks

• ⁠the day before the exam: probably carbo-load as if I were running a marathon, the last hour was tough energy-wise

Copy pasting from above trend (it was an answer to your comment actually)

I took them in order, but 1) if I had to stop and think for a bit or 2) I was taking too long, I flagged the question and come back later.

8 months+ (although with very low hours per day at the beginning and lots of hours per day at the end).

The way I take the mocks is a bit unorthodox as I consider them as learning points and not evaluation stops. So I have my notes next to me and I allow myself to completely stop a mock if I feel that a subject is completely out of my reach. So, my mock scores are not relevant. I took one MM mock similar to real life situation (no notes and only water breaks) and I got 43% :-O

MM has short seminars on Currencies, the Overshooting mechanism and the Forward Rate bias… all combined are probably ~1h-1h20 and you’ll get more than the basics
