These study programs usually include 6 mocks, or 720 questions. I can’t imagine most of us passing only covering 720 MC. How many QBANK questions did you all do before passing (or even failing) L2?
For L2 I think I did like 4,000 questions. Between the CFAI books and the Schweser books you have around 1650. Qbank did around 1600+, and 6 mocks (720).
OMG, and how many hours did you study?
I have not even bought that Schweser package which has the Q-bank because I find it impossible to do more questions than the EOCs, topic tests and 4 mocks (1 official + 3 schweser).
I really beleive I will not pass due to lack of enough practice questions, but I don’t see how to find time for that many questions.
Unless obviously you spend between 1 and 2 minutes per question because you know most of the answers and you are correct. For me a 6 q item set sometimes takes 2 hours to understand my mistakes, look up stuff in the curriculum, write down formulas etc. That’s 20 min per question.
I had an 11-month self-study relaxed & meditated personal program training for L2, so had the time. Also had the motivation and interest on this. I don’t regret. I have passed L1 and L2 at the first try and I’m currently pursuing FRM designation. I have already started my FRM Part 1 preparation and hope to nail it in November of this year.
I think the fuel in my preparation was not trying to pass the exam but to improve my knowledge and skills.
Fair enough. I often mark different parts of the curriculum to have them re-read more thoroughly at some later point in time because it is valuable for my work, but now the exam is the focus, and the study time is more limited than I would like it.
I think you will do fine this june Moosey. Just don’t hesitate, never.
I did around a hundred questions through Wiley. Zero mock exams.
Do as many questions as possible (under exam-like conditions… aka mock exams). Passive learning (reading) only gets you so far. You don’t have to understand every nuance of the question to get it right…
