wow. you have your own football team!!!
Hey, PJ I remember your gips tip from level 1, it worked very well for the exam. Any tips for this year? I have a wildly fluctuating work load which should calm down after this week’s hectic earnings season. I hope to finish review by next week and then attack practice exams. However, during my review I have been going thru old CFAI exams and pulling out the questions which relate to the topic I am studying, I have found it useful. I am also going thru CFAI questions for the 2nd time and they seem to make more sense this time around. Remember, you should peak a few days before exam day and not burn out before that!
I’m with all you guys that haven’t taken an exam. I’ve read schweser once fairly thoroughly, went through a second time as a refresher, mostly reading the key concepts and skimming over the LOS. I am now doing flashcards (both making and reviewing). Plan on taking my first exams this weekend. Will probably start with schweser qbank to determine my weaknesses. the way i see it, what is the point in taking exams when you know what you don’t know?

Hope to be completely done by May 24th and then spend the last 2 weeks doing practice exams… P.S - Glad I could help on GIPS… as I don’t remember a damn thing from it and I’m leaving Gips/Ethics for the last 3 days before the exam.
6 kids? It’s called a condom…look into it
