Ju7st wondering if there is anyone else who hasn’t gone through any of the CFAI books? Will we be scr**ed since CFAI were mandatory this year?
i used schweser mostly …however i have referred to CFAI material for certain topics
Wonder will it be possible to pass using only schweser this time round? Got L1 and L2 that way but L2 was a bit of a close shave. I have started doing CFAI end of chapter questions and some of them are fine but others are rediculously hard - Guessing thats cause only did Schweser. Gotta keep fingers crossed they don’t try to shaft the Schweser only brigade…
I only used Schweser and FAILED last year. There were questions that you could not answer if you only used Schweser. Look at the end of chapter questions for reading 44 in SS 16. You could not do many of those problems if you only used Schweser. It’s late in the game, but try to review the EOC questions in the CFA material. If you NAIL everything else that was covered in Schweser, you may be fine. That’s a gamble I would not make though.
hm i dont know about that. i havent taken L3 before, so I could be wrong, but most of the EOC questions are much harder than anything you would see on the real exam. you only need to look at past exams to see that.
Cheers - Encouraging stuff - Looks like I’ll be banking on Lady luck to get me through - Thank God I’m Irish or otherwise I’d be sha**ed
That’s true that they are much harder than you would see on the test because of the time involved. However, you will see a scaled down version of the same types of questions. Thus, you need to know how to work them to answer the simpler versions on the test.
