CFA main book Read

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to know how many of you are managing the readings from main CFA books. I found it too borning as I cleared my two levels from Schweser. But, the main problem with Level III is that I appeared for CFA level III in 2014 ( Band 9) and 2015 ( Band 8). I studied from schweser both times but now have the recallability bias and have started studying from main books. I find it quite boring. Please suggest with 3 months to left what do you think?

  1. Carry on reading from CFA book: In 1 month I am not able to complete even 1 book as of now

  2. Get back to Schweser

I am 30 year old now and married. I find it boring to study. Please suggest as for me CFA is very important to clear for my promotion purpose.

Thanks

I’d read the text for areas I was weak in during the last exams and I’d review the rest with Schweser. Then I’d pound some prior exams and such. I find the CFAI can be actually very engaging in for certain readings but you do have the occasional dry and/or poorly written sections.

Im on the CFAI text GIPS section now and sweet lord it’s dry as hell…eeeugh. SO boring to read!!

I agree, i am also currently reading the GIPS section. It was so boring that i stopped reading at part 3.14 to try the GIPS mocks exams to have an idea of what should i focus on during my reading session.

I had perfect scores for the 4 mocks exam i coud find on the Institute website… it will be hard to motivate myself to read the rest of the book.
