CFA Exams in 18 months? Passed L1/L2

CFA Level II
#1

Anybody else going for this goal? I surprisingly passed Level II today after spending only 2 months studying. Passed Level I in December. This is the first real sigh of relief since last September. Do the 18 month’ers have a strategy for LIII?

#2

I’m in the same boat, going to study harder for Level III than I have for the first two.

Thank god for no more FRA.

#3

Uapak- you might be one of the first to EVER pass all 3 levels in 18 months. Few have done it…

You’re TOP GUN for sure, my 24 year-old analyst buddy!

#4

Same boat!

Wish to hit really really really hard for L3 this time - as its the final one.

#5

Awesome work, man.

Yes. Passed Level 1 last December and Level 2 this June. Spent 3.5 months studying for each level, however I wanted to give L2 more time but did not have much time.

Now that I have more than 10 months to study for L3, I will be more relaxed this time and I will kill it, come the exam day. I just want to get done with this shit and move on with my life.

#6

Same with me

#7

no accounting, econ, quant will make life so much easier for L3

#8

believe me it only gets worse…now will come the mighty behavioral finance and fixed income is going to be pain in the bum. I thought so when I started studying for level 3 and 1 week before the exam my condition was that I lost temper on every question I did wrong after hours of practice of the same kind of questions, level 3 was the nightmare of my life

#9

and owh! I forgot to mention, THE GIPS :)))))

welcome to hell

#10

I’m in the same boat. I started studying 90 days out for I & II but I plan on starting in January for level III, possibly browsing some of the material beforehand just out of curiosity.

#11

Same. I’m going to bust my ass for L3 because I don’t want to drag this shit on for another year.

#12

looks a like a lot of people are on the same boat, hope it won’t sink

#13

#17

#18
