i think I got high 60’s in my 51-70 areas and crushed ethics. Maybe got da ethics bump. Had about 12 beers last nite to calm my nerves, lol. Congrats all!
This forum was a huge source of support and helped me to guage were to concentrate my efforts. Very happy I didn’t waste time on Econ and spend those extra weeks cranking FRA hard… I am planning on starting to study much earlier for level 2.
Passed! I was wondering whether I overestimated the difficulty of this exam. Please could you help me to understand?
Background Economics and work as Financial Stability analyst in EU institution.
I started studying at the end of February. Ethics from the CFA material and the rest from Schweser (didn’t study at all the GIPSs). I went through all the material only once and made EOC exercises of Schweser chapter by chapter + MOC exam and other questions on the CFA website. I was of course working and travelling once every 2 weekend (distance relation, this means that the weekend I was not travelling my girlfriend was coming to visit me).
My boss gave me an envelope of 10 days off (without consuming holidays, love her!! ) and I spent them at the end of may/beginning of june.
Completed the last argument (Alternative investment (my poorest)) 2 days before the exam. How is it possible that I passed? Could you help me to understand the results (below)? Is it a slight pass or a bit better?
Thanks a lot and congrats to all the next Level II candidates.
