How many days taking off before exam?

CFA Level II
#1

I got the entire week off before the exam…was wondering if/how many days people are taking off that week.

#2

I’ll be taking the week off before the exam. I might take some long weekends in May if I feel like I need them at that time.

#3

2 weeks. It is my vacation time.

#4

3 weeks min…

#5

1 week right now. i took 2 days off before L1.

#6

1 week, given by the company.

#7

1.5 months, not by choice.

#8

I only scheduled Friday off before the exam… Don’t know if that’s enough >.< we’ll see…

#9

I took a week for Level I and will surely do the same for II. I’m actually thinking of taking another week maybe sometime in April as well given the 4 month turnaround time for us December LI takers.

#10

I will do the 1 week before the exam as I did for L1. Actually considering some more time based on others here due to the short prep time (Dec L1).

#11

just took a week before and week after

#12

Probably 3 days. Just like L1. My thought is that if you aren’t ready by that final week, taking days off to cram 12 hours a day won’t really do much. Slow and steady wins the race…

#13

1 week, the week before is a long weekend, so that helps too.

#14

One week

#15

Two weeks from vacation time.

#16

Well, based on my qbank sample exam (advanced q’s only, 60 questions. Took about an hour and scored 63%), I’m going to study for 2 weeks.

I took 3 weeks off for L 1. I’d like to take 3 weeks for L2, that is only if I can or if I still have my job till then. Considering I’m into real estate, that is a major uncertainty for me.

#20

3 days right before the exam, and 1 day a week for 3 weeks prior to that…same as I did for L1…
