I had cursed myself during L1 for starting as late as 2nd April, however in 2 months some real slogging @nights and skilled maneuvering at work saw me push me through the finish line … had promised myself not to repeat the same mistake in L2 . Well at the start of year I realized I have more PTO then I can move it to next year in march end…so based on use it or loose it …I ended up using all of it … the catch however is instead of using it to study I went on a long vacation… And now here I am at the start of March and kicking myself 
and hoping I will be able to pull it through again…made my schedule over the weekend and starting from tonight … Just wondering if there are more people like me here who doesn’t learn from their mistakes…?:(
I had 4 months for level 1. And about 3.5 months for level 2. Not too happy about it, but I think it’s doable.
Schweser only?
starting today… scratch that…starting tomo.
starting today
I started on March 1 and I think its doable. But I haven’t even bothered to open the CFAI package. Its Schweser all the way. What do others think? For Level 1, I started in last week of April and passed. Again it was Schweser only. The long hours at work and weekends spent studying weren’t exactly a whole lot of fun though. All the talk of L2 being a lot harder than L1 is making me a bit nervous though…I hope we still have some time.
Was planning to start today, but the leafs and the devils game coupled with the pitcher got the best of me. Tomorrow for sure! It’s very doable (atleast I think so) lol
You’re all totally screwed. See the thread below. http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?12,911642
I’m not starting until March 8.
I’ve exact same feelings as mavrick. I am kicking myself for not starting early this time around YET AGAIN, as if I learnt nothing by my mistakes and 5wks of hell during L1. LII definitely looks hard from the books. and the End of Chapter problems are the ones that are scaring the hell out of me. I thought it was supposed to be a multiple choice exam, but all the question are ESSAY TYPE!! WHAT on earth is going on. Started on March 1st, but stuck on chap 11 since then hate the never ending questions. This is not a good sign of things to come. I have no schedule as I never tend to stick to them, but my goal is to keep doing as much as I can and then go for the exam. Am really nervous as I had skipped major portions during L1 and seems like you can’t really do selective study for LII. and LII is building on LI i hope i don’t have to go back and study for L1 again. Plus, life, work etc doesn’t make it any easier.
Can we have a consolidated “is it too late” thread?
