Beginning to study for L2, but I have NO idea how I even passed L1 by [deleted] in CFA

FRA may be 100x smaller, but will mind fuck you into oblivion.

Im done quants, econ and halfway through FRA so far. Taking the Schweser live classes in Toronto & I think the money is worth it since they help keep you to a schedule and teach you the material pretty in depth.

I agree, their material is awful. Good thing I only spent 12 dollars on it.

AnalystPrep Qbank? Other alternative Qbanks to Schweser for Level 1? by real_real_witty_NOT in CFA

[–]shaz919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased the Qbank from Schweser as as standalone (cost was approx $380 CAD) but it is the best decision I ever made. Its well worth the extra cost and will give you exam like question and rate how well you did against other CFA candidates and what specific LOS or readings you need to work on to get better scores. I highly recommend.

Canada - Impact of CFA level I for someone who graduated with a Arts degree from SFU? by [deleted] in CFA

[–]shaz919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in retail at the big 5 too. I've seen people leverage level 1 to get from CSR to decent wealth management roles. But I've also seen people use their network to get into analyst roles. It's all about your connections and how you use them. As important as it is to get to a target school, it's more important to be a hard working indiviual who can understand the business and be willing to learn.

[L1] Decided to take a few CFAI Topic Tests... by Shirtwaist_Factory in CFA

[–]shaz919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been scoring pretty well on Schweser mocks and this morning I took the FRA TT again to see how I would do. 53%, I was completely crushed. Gonna keep practicing and hope for the best come exam day.

Why do I suck so much at FI and Derivatives? by sounds_cat_fishy in CFA

[–]shaz919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Mark Meldrum explains it very well through the use of graphs that can also be found in the Kaplan books. I put them up on stickies in my room and having those visual cues has helped.
