You have a strikingly similar matrix to my band 10 fail in June when I used Kaplan Q bank only. 2 days after I found out I failed, I came across Fitch Learning and they offered me their 800 dollar online portal which has video lectures, hurdle tests, mock exams, etc. for 395 dollars with proof of my fail result. Gotta say, it proved to be worth it. I read maybe 10 pages of CFAI text and just watched all the video lectures and took all the hurdle tests, Mock exams, and easily passed this time around. Highly Recommend them!
Also, If you have time, really go through FRA and Ethics in the CFAI text. I honestly think those two are super important.
My plan for L2 is to spend at least 2 month, and I sure hope that I could stick to this plan … really dont want to go through that kind of intensity again!
Passed. >70 in all sections. Read the CFA reading material over 3 months, then 3 weeks of Kaplan Schwezer Mocks + the CFA website mock the night before the exam. Also watched the Adapt Prep youtube videos on the most challenging topics.
You’ll always get someone like @lightness after each results saying how they passed with only 1-2 weeks preparation. Another person once told me he passed L2 with only a week of preparation.
These types of person lie just to make themselves feel smart. No need to question them though…, cuz you’ll be wasting your valuable time. Just let them be.
I dont know how this is so unbelievable and I certainly don’t understand why I deserved to be called a liar here …
I majored in Finance and Math in a top 3 busniess school and I am now working in IB, dont know how that is unbelievable.
I also did FRM Level 1 in Nov/ Dec and I passed it too within a short period of time, again I dont recommend waiting util the last min.
And I do have friends passing level 1 within few weeks, this honestly is not even news to me.
I am not even a coffee drinker but I did have 2+ coffee per day while studying for the exams, so its not like I just sit there and passed the exam. I did study.
