I go blank when trying to answer essay questions

CFA Level III
#1

I went through the material twice. Still go blank when trying to answer essay questions.

What shall I do???

#2

Keep practicing.

#3

Oh definitely keep practicing and eventually you’ll see everything just flows out of you like water.

#4

Try and write something down and then go back and review the answer. You are just out of practice with the format after l1 and l2. Partly a confidence thing and partly you need need a deeper level of knowledge than multiple choice. I definitely started like that and passed easily in the end. Good luck.

#6

Contrarian approach: Just quit!

#7

If I wanted to quit, I wouldn’t have asked the question.

So, no. I won’t quit.

#8

Suzi - find historical essay questions online, then practice them by subject matter. i.e. for Institutional, do several years’ worth of Institutional essay questions. You’ll get a sense of what CFA Institute is looking for on each subject. Hope this helps.

Damn you have already read the material twice how many hours have you already studied?

#10

You read all the material twice in Feb?! So powerful!

#11

Read the material for 3rd time.

Seriously, no matter how many times you went through material if you’re not able to catch the concepts.
