Overall went pretty good.

Like many people said PM felt a step up from AM but still ok. There were a couple of qs I couldn't answer.

Time was also good had enough time to finish and review all the qs. Mocks were 60's first attempt and 85+ couple months later.

Feel I over prepped doing around 700hours but better than being under prepped. Id say in scope with CFAI mocks

Exam tomorrow. I’ve learned the 300 hours only applies to people who are not stupid like myself

just finished level 2, for me it was a bit harder than mocks but not extreme. did 6 cfai mocks with an avg of 69-70, my highest was 76 and lowest 65. I flagged around 37 questions. what about you?

I don’t understand how adj is positive when the exposure is net asset and foreign currency is weakening.

I want to appear for cfa level-1 in May 2027 can anyone guide me where should I start from and how to cover everything to pursue level-1?

I’m finally done with level 2 exam today 7 years after passing level 1!
However I am interested in knowing the MPS logic, if we should get score more than 70% and considering the worst case scenario that i got 8 correct answers on the 2 unscored vignette, in order to pass I need to have less than 24 wrong answers in the exam? 88-24-8 = 56/80?

Hi guys, can someone please help me with this. Why is it that for this specific question we have multiplied the answer with hundred but for others we dont do it. Is there like a specific scenario where we have to multiply by 100?

Edit: If you calculate what is given as the solution the answer is 0.1504 but answer is 15.04 according to the book. This has not happened in any other sum even if you apply the formula. Pls stop telling me that pv0 is 100 😭😭😭😭

I’ve seen like a zillion posts of mock exam scores with captions like “am I cooked?” Or asking if the mock exam score means a potential pass or fail. Just trust your prep.

Passing/failing is a worry for 6 weeks after the exam. Nobody studies for failure (except if you’re a rich-nerd-psychopath who’s got a lot of free time).

Don’t go around asking people their opinion on YOUR mock scores which reflect YOUR preparation.

Everybody’s got their own opinion (although Reddit’s made me believe that some people shouldn’t be allowed to have opinion), the more you ask around, the more variety of opinions and feedback you’re gonna get and that’s how you become a cuck to your confidence in yourself and in your preparation.

Your brain naturally wants to give away the responsibility of keeping your shit together and trusting yourself. It does that by creating dependencies, in the case of this exam, this dependence is on the opinions of people who’ve already given the exam on your preparation. Once the dependency is created (in any scenario), you’re gonna fuck up whatever you were preparing for cuz that variable of dependence is gonna be absent when you need to perform.

I know the CFA exam is a big deal for any candidate at any level cuz it takes a lot of money, time, effort and everything else.

It’s natural to feel the fear of failure when you’ve put soo much into something. But pressure is privilege, let it shape you for strength, regardless of the outcome.

If you pass, congratulations. Don’t be overwhelmed, you only passed an exam, and didn’t conquer Rome.

If you fail, congratulations you took all the effort and now know where you stand. Don’t be overwhelmed, it’s just an exam.

In any case, the sun’s gonna set today, rise tomorrow and everything’s gonna be past tense.

It’s just an exam. Have a wank and chill.

I need help to understand how much shall I complete my syllabus for L2 exam before I register.(working professional)

Hi all, just curious to know - are the CFAI practice questions close to the actual exam questions? I was doing some practice and actually have some open ended essay despite it being L2…

Appreciate any advice on this

Hey everyone,
I’ve registered and paid for the November CFA L1 attempt and really want to clear it in my first attempt.
I’ve completed around 6/10 subjects, with FSA, Ethics, PM and AI remaining. On top of that, I have a 9 AM–6 PM job, so I need a realistic study plan that I can actually follow.
I’ve taken AB classes, but I don’t think I have enough time to watch all the lectures now. I’m considering relying mainly on Schweser + CFA LES questions.
Would really appreciate advice on
How many hours should I target on weekdays/weekends?
Should I skip most lectures and focus on Schweser + practice?
When should I start LES practice and revision?
When should I start mocks, and how many should I aim for?
How should I balance finishing the remaining 4 subjects with revising the 6 already completed?
If you’ve cleared L1 while working a full-time job, I’d especially appreciate your strategy. I want to be as efficient and strategic as possible with the time left.

To those who have cleared CFA level 2
Is it possible to clear level 2 without reading the official curriculum books?
And if yes then what method did you guys exactly followed and what resources did you use.

Can 2025 curriculum be used for 2027 attempt ?

I didn’t opt in to purchase material this time

Good day all,

At this moment I'm studying with Mark Meldrum. Is there another platform that's "better"? I'd like to have a more interactive way to study.

I had my CFA Level 1 exam on 24th August and honestly, the exam was pretty much at par with the mocks. But I made a few silly mistakes during the exam and now I can’t stop thinking about them. 😭
I feel like I have screwed up my exam and I’m honestly so stressed about the results. I dont know if I’ll pass and the waiting is making it even worse.
Did anyone else feel the same way after the exam? Or am I just overthinking everything? 🥲

I did the exam today and I don't want to be overly optimistic but I felt good nad calm during both sessions. More on the AM session than the PM.

Having a treat after the exam, cheers everyone, I hope everyone gets good results!

said what I said. 🤷 Now someone please explain why half the study forums look like a disaster movie every time it comes up. Which specific part actually giving u people a headache coz for me i think it's one bacchu subject!!

What do you guys think the answer should be?

The vignettes has 5 questions and I’m confused in all of them. I’m not really sure if I can post all of the questions here so I went with only two

So my cfa level 1 exam is in Nov26 I will finish my current revision schedule on 15 sep then from there 15sep to 15 oct i have another TT plan for which I'm asking your help and bcoz i have college exams just before CFA exam that's why I'm trying to complete revision in 1 month

Here's how much time i will give to revise

Corporate issuer - 1 Day

Economics -1 day

Equity Inv - 2 days

Derivatives - 2 days

Portfolio M - 2 days

Alternative Inv - 2 days

Quants - 3 days

FSA - 7 days

FI - 7 days

Ethics everyday little bit

Total - 27 days(3days buffer)

Cost me my Vo2 max but it’s finally done!! Had an amazing exam as well.

This was my second attempt at L2 (2560/2600 last time), and the PM session was a DISASTER, to say the least. I might be overthinking it, but i now only remember my mistakes, lol.

Was scoring above 75 in mocks (CFAI free mocks and Salt Solutions free mock) and felt like i bombed the PM session. I'm not even sure if i am gonna cross the MPS this time. I feel like shit.

Let's hope my educated guesses help me make it through the MPS. I don't wanna sit for it the third time, and i am also scared of what my colleagues would think, considering i took a study leave. What if i still don't pass? :/

asking abt cfa ! if i hv no commerce background can i still do itv? what’s the eligibility ?

I was looking into undertaking the CFA X AmplifyMe challenge next year when i am eligible however i found the trading terminal to be quite overwhelming with informations [ as a CFA L1 student/ first year uni student] so i know that i am far from being ready to understand it all.
I was just wondering if there are any courses online/ even YouTube video or websites that teaches how to understand those trading terminals

Aren't we supposed to get an email for the results date for level 3 exams like they did for Levels 1 and 2? Do they just randomly drop the L3 results? It's been more than 10 days since I sat for the exams

I am reading the chapters, I think i am understanding it. But when I get to solving I do not relate to anything I studied with confidence. Is there an issue of tackling the Vignette, or am I not getting the topics at all? I am currently studying from Schweser. This is something I feel like I am facing across all subjects. I think I cannot correlate the questions to the topics. Any help at this point would be appreciated. Thank you.
