Passed Level 2 by solely studying. Read 3 times front to back all chapters in the Scheweser, multiple times solving EOC and CFAI questions/mocks. Overall score was all above the passing grade except Quant. So I’m really glad Quant is out of the picture in Level 3.
Like all people, I also have a full time job and working as an expat abroad, I couldn’t dedicate myself to studying every day. And since the format of AM section can be tough, I am planning to go with a prep provider. Lurking around this forum and after reading all the recommendations, I decided to go with IFT this time. Major decision point was economical view but also many recommendations from charter holders. Not to mention Marc, Levelup and last but not least S2000magician.
Anyway hope everyone the best of luck for the upcoming 2019!
