What are the topic weightings for the Level 2 exams? Where does CFA Institute provide this information?
Thank you.
On its website
There’s a new technology you might have heard of called a “search engine”.
Try googling “CFA Level 2 topic weights” and see what you get.
90% ethics, each other topic is ~1.11%, repeating of course.
What are they implying with the varying weights, ie ethics 10-15%, quant 5-10% etc.
How should i interpret this.
(just passed L1)
Using Quant as an example, it means Quant will be a minimum of 5% of the exam and a maximum of 10% of the exam. As there are 20 item sets on the exam, each containing 6 questions, each item set equates to 5% of the exam. So, Quant could have one item set (6 questions) or two item sets (12 questions).
don’t want say too much, but as after passing June 16 level 2 you might want to look through the level 2 results thread
thanks for not saying too much
And we will not know about this weighting till the actual exam, or even after?
Correct. The only information that you will be given about the weightings is the ranges that have been made available. I imagine that you could work it out on exam day by counting the item sets, but I would say your efforts are better placed answering the questions! 
As I see it the challenge here is that we really can’t afford to have weak areas, as even the lower-weighted topics (by ranges) could potentially be big enough to hurt significantly. A challenge, but definitely fair enough in my view.
