How many hours you've spent preparing for each level?

CFA Level III
#21

I am a Chartered Accountant. I had done most of Level 1 and 50% of Level 2 in my CA curriculum.

  1. Level 1 - 7 days * 8 hours per day = 60-70 hours (Cleared)
  2. Level 2 - 20 days * 8 hours per day = 180-200 hours (Cleared)
  3. Level 3 - First Attempt - 20 days * 8 hours per day = 180-200 hours (Failed)
  4. Level 3 - Second Attempt - 40 days * 8 hours per day = 360 hours (Results awaited)

I never solved even 1 practice paper or mock paper, only studied Schweser. I got marks in the range of 55-60%.
