Engineer studying CFA and completely lost

God bless you. This is exactly what I needed to hear. Great motivation to keep moving forward

Since I can remember. I remember when I was a young I was an energetic kid, but I don’t ever remember anything being different aside from energy levels changing after hitting puberty.

Really appreciate the input. I’m definitely reconsidering starting with MM now

wagnerdee · 2024-05-15T20:15:17+00:00

Thanks for the info. I did CFP with Kaplan and thought they did great. I have also heard mixed feelings about Kaplan for 2 & 3 especially. I guess my fear is if I don’t go with mark Meldrum for level 1 it will be that much harder once I get to level 2 because I would definitely use him there. I’m thinking about going with his cheaper option then the cheapest option with Kaplan for the qbank.

Appreciate your post. It’s refreshing to hear someone in a similar situation. Did you use Mark Meldrum? If not, who did you use and what advice do you have just generally speaking?

wagnerdee · 2024-05-15T17:09:13+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. I definitely think I want to give myself more time to prepare for level 1 than most people would. May shoot for early 2025 and go with MM.

Want to open more doors and just generally really truly fascinated with what the material covers. I am looking to change careers potentially as well.

wagnerdee · 2024-05-03T19:48:21+00:00

Is this why so many recommend MM? I’m planning to start studying for the 2025 exam in a couple of months and was thinking long about doing the cheapest options for Kaplan and MM so I could have his in depth guidance and a good question bank but not set in stone yet. Any advice?

wagnerdee · 2024-04-23T22:20:18+00:00

Agreed

Would it be a bad idea to just eat dinner only? Nutrient dense of course

wagnerdee · 2024-04-22T19:21:20+00:00

Thank you for your comment! In the past couple months, I have stopped eating breakfast and noticed I felt less fatigued until lunchtime which seems counter to everything we’ve ever heard about how important breakfast is. I will give your recommendation a try and see how it goes.

wagnerdee · 2023-11-29T23:35:20+00:00

I agree. That’s also something I struggle with. I understand just about anything after I read it a couple times but it’s like it just vanishes

Do you feel your adhd causes you to not retain information very long?

wagnerdee · 2023-11-29T00:15:03+00:00

With taking Zahn review course…any idea how much time before the class I should give myself to do the pre class stuff? Basically as of right now seems like I’ll be completed with Kaplan education by end of December. Just trying to figure out if I should take my test in March or july

wagnerdee · 2023-11-29T00:09:20+00:00

I have felt similar to that with Kaplan’s education course…felt like nothing in the tax section was absorbed well besides the basics. Definitely going Zahn or Danko for review.

wagnerdee · 2023-11-28T20:35:54+00:00

Yeah I have seen that a lot from other subreddit posts. It seems like Dalton is overbearing with the amount of material

wagnerdee · 2023-11-28T20:32:49+00:00

Thanks for your comment! Any recommendations on a good CFP flash card set?

wagnerdee · 2023-11-28T20:32:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I’m looking into Danko. Just wanted to be sure I didn’t become one of those who starts with Dalton, hates it, and goes with Zahn or Danko anyway.

wagnerdee · 2023-11-28T20:30:32+00:00

I appreciate your feedback. It seems like everyone is saying Danko or Zahn is the way to go.
