I’m half-way through equities and fixed income investments. I am studying my favorite subject first. I need to step it up. I am studying 3 hours a day except for Sunday.

Keep on studying! Who cares where the others are?  You can never study enough…I am trying to think of how I should study better. i.e. write notes, notecards, study sessions with friends.

I started about early May and am now half way through FRA (I have already covered ethics)…I was going at a pretty quick pace up until FRA, which I’ve had to slow down a bit to cover more carefully as it’s a lot of new material for me. I feel I am on a pretty good pace to finish the curriculum about a month or so before the test.

From CFA material. I studied Ethics.. That’s what everybody is recommending..

My recommendation would be.

1) Top Priority would be using CFA Material from now,it will be helpful for L2 & L3.

2) Other option would be use Kaplan but atleast refer CFA material for topics not covered in Kaplan and Q&A at the end of the chapter of CFA Material - Atleast you will be exposed to CFA Material , you wont find it difficult in L2 & L3.

I started with ethics.  Maybe I got scared a little by all the talk about how it can make/break the exam, but I wanted to cover all that material so it’s in there, and now I start every day by doing 3-4 ethics questions.  I kinda flew through the material though, so I plan to come back to it after I’ve read the rest.

Oh and I’m starting quant tonight.  Haven’t looked at it much yet, but I don’t imagine it’ll take too long having just finished a degree in finance/economics/math.
