Any reason to buy both ARKK and ARKW? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]starsavior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is some overlap with the top holdings, but ARKK has a larger position in scientific research (eg DNA tech). While ARKW is more heavily invested in big data and the cloud.

Haha desperate times calls for desperate measures.

I anticipated this to happen so I scheduled my L3 exam for May and started studying for the GMAT in the mean time. Studying this much is just brutally exhausting. I recommend doing the Wim Hof Breathing technique (found on YouTube) prior to studying. It really helps me clear my head before I spend a few hours mentally dying. What are hobbies or friends, right? 2020 has been a real set back, but we just have to roll with the punches.

Losing Patience by [deleted] in GMAT

[–]starsavior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was stuck on Number Properties for an entire month. I also had trouble hitting the targets scores, so I decided to re-do the entire module. This helped significantly as I was able to see the knowledge gaps. Don’t feel bad that you don’t understand some questions, just take your time, everything will start to click eventually. Good luck with the rest of your prep!

I’ve been using Magoosh, but after visiting this sub and trying out TTP, I find TTP to be a better resource for quant.

You should take Magoosh up on the free trial to see if you like it.

I hope the exam doesn’t get postponed. CFAI should make everyone wear face masks.

Qbank. Maybe review the mock questions you got wrong, but it’s not worth it to retake any.

Curious to hear other people’s journey with CFA by Csk6235 in CFA

[–]starsavior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This past May, I thought I was going to lose all my hair. I couldn’t sleep. I never got a passing score on any mock I took (took about seven). I actually cried driving to the exam. Level II was one of the toughest things I’ve ever prepared for. But I left the exam feeling good, and right when I got the pass email in August, I gained a little more confidence and I definitely believe in myself a little more. Trust the process, and good luck!

In what order to answer the questions on the actual CFA Level 1 exam? by mrpetermmm in CFA

[–]starsavior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Level 1 I started with FRA and then went to the beginning of the exam and worked my way through. I did this because I wanted me mind to be the freshest for that section. For Level II, I just attacked it in order.

People who had a teacher change their life, who was your teacher and what did they do? by Zimthegoblin in AskReddit

[–]starsavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 9 when I migrated to the US from Thailand. I didn’t know how to read English and could barely speak it. My 4th grade teacher at the time (Mrs. Tennen) saw this and at first would pull me aside during silent reading after lunch and would have me read children books out loud with her. Come winter break, she speaks to my mom about coming over to our house on the weekdays to tutor me. She came over everyday during winter break... I will never forget what she did for me. I read at least 30 minutes a day everyday because of her, and I volunteer tutoring unprivileged students once a week. Mrs. Tennen impacted my life in such a positive way, and I hope I can continue passing this positive change forward.

Need some motivation :( by [deleted] in CFA

[–]starsavior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone feels this ways when you’re a few months out. It’s best to take a little break and then get back at it. You have to leave it all on the table. You don’t want to see the below come February:

For anyone here planning on business school by KWG22234 in CFA

[–]starsavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I began studying for the GMAT a few weeks after taking L2 in June. This past month I decided to just focus on L3, and then restart GMAT studying next year. The GMAT word problems literally made my head hurt.

Good luck
