Can I do it?

ro424 · April 12, 2009, 11:31pm

Help! Thought i could manage it all, but work took off like crazy, and i’m getting married at the end of the month. I basically haven’t done anything yet, what are my chances of cramming for L2? I have the first week of May off from work and every weekend free after that, i can dedicate 3 hours a day during the week and 10 hours on weekends/days off. I got the advice as to just start doing practice exams and get my learning done from there. I work in finance currently (FO at a bulge bracket iBank) so nothing is really completely new for me, but i respect the depth of the test. Can i do it??? What will it take?

it’ll take a lot of coffee and a potential annulment

Congrats on the marriage!

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

cfaboston28 · April 12, 2009, 11:42pm

There is a chance. Luck matters in this exam.

Hey and congrats that you still have a job in an IBank man. You must be a baller…

Is just doing questions the best approach at this point?

cfaboston28 · April 13, 2009, 1:25pm

You need to know the material in answering those questions. Nobody can tell you what works better for you.

I’d make sure and block out an hour each Sunday for church.

pepp · April 13, 2009, 3:28pm

tvPM, that’s right, praying to lord can not improve your chances anymore, but rest assured it will not worsen your chances of passing either. ro424, while you are at church, don’t forget to pray for me as well. Lord bless all.

hahaha… I am thinking I need to pick up a few religions to make it through this. My bf is Jewish, my mom this Catholic, my dad is Buddhist, I need a Hindu friend and a few more Gods… mainly the CFA-PassingGOD. Cramming for L2 is not easy, but can be done if you have the brain power to suck it all in and put in the hours like you said you can. Congrats on the upcoming wedlock. Dare I say you won’t have time for a Honeymoon if you go for passing L2 in June. Delay it until after June.
