how many hours are you doing in the evenings?

CFA Level II
#21

I study 12-13 hours a week total. 10 on weekdays (4 on Mon, 4 on Wed, 1 on Tue, 0.5-1 on Thur, 1 on Friday) and 2 on Sat.

#22

2-3 monday thru thursday 5-6 sat and sun

#23

I try to get 2-2.5 hrs a night (Mon-Fri)… I then try and get 3-4 hrs / day on the weekend… So far so good, I feel like I am moving at a nice pace… Hopefully it pays off! Good luck to all…

#24

I calculated how many pages, on average, I have to complete per night in order to finish schweser roughly a month ahead of the exam. Usually, it takes me 2 hours per weeknight, take friday off…and just double or triple up on saturday. Sunday is just another regular 2 hour day. However, it may take me more time once the material gets more difficult - so weekends will probably start heading towards 10-15 hours.

#25

2-3 hrs a day during the work week. 15 hrs during the whole weekend.

#26

1.5hrs, 6.30-8.00am. 3-4hrs, 6-10pm all on weekdays still trying to get a gri on the weekend for tests and revisions

#27

I started studying January 23rd (after results came out!) and I put in ~ 1.5hours Monday through Thursday, take Friday off. Then put in about 3 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday. Come May I will up the ante and since I have the first week of June off I hope this will leave me in okay shape.

#28

study in the evenings? usually zero. I have averaged just over one hour per day since October, most of which has been at work (or over lunch which is also at work). I’ll occassionally put in a 3 or more hour day on a weekend or something just to get used to concentrating for a long stretch but I’ve found that many shorter sessions is a better way for me to study. The only problem is that I will have to remember all of that stuff I studied back in late 2007.

#29

not enough.

#30

How the h - e double hockey sticks does anybody study over 8 hours on Sat and Sunday? I must be a wuss (sp?), but it is a couple hours a day on weekdays, then around 3 hours on Sat and Sunday. Maybe my weak sch. is the reason I am back again this year.

#31

Im trying to get 25-30 hours in per week for the next 2 weeks (3 hours weeknights) and then after this drop back to around 15-20 hours per week with sat nights to party and sundays to relax

#32

1-2 on weekdays, 3-4 on weekends.

#33

I study 2-3 hours per week. Weekends haven’t been as productive as I initially planned.

Just need some more time and just hoping it’s not too late for L2 already.

I just paid in today. Obviously didnt have any motivation till now. :stuck_out_tongue:

#36

Hi guys, I’m studying 8 hours a day JUST in the weekends, i.e. 16 hours per week. Since I started in january, do you think that schedule would be enough to pass the test??? Thanks! JL

#37

You passed Level I, you should understand what it takes to pass these exams… Everyone studies at a different pace. CFAI recommends 250 hours - obviously this depends on how knowledgeable you are with the material. You passed Level 1, how did you do it? Level II is considered more difficult, so do the math.

#38

Thanks so much for you special kindness, jalmy8! You should win the CFA Sweetness Academy Award 2008! :slight_smile: bye

#39

10 mins on average since last week :slight_smile:

#40

1-2 h on weekdays 3-4 Sat and Sunday so, depending on the topic between 12 and 18 hours per week, jmho but over 20 h/week right now and there could be a danger of burnout, by May most of us will be in such a state we won’t care who we p*ss off and will be studying constantly.
