Preparation for L3 from March (and with a job...)

CFA Level III
#1

Hi guys, I know that many people had (and will have) my same problem. I’m planning to use Schweser and I want to study only during w/e. What products should I order? I don’t want to spend unnecessary money for things I’m not going to use :wink: Thanks!

#2

are you real?

#3

Ehm… yes :wink: Why? Too ambitious/crazy?

#4

well, starting in March and studying only during weekends, preferably Schweser only requires a lot of luck…browse a bit through the posts during last spring and have a look at the famous post written by cat060 I have upped a few times

#5

Three months to study? Highly unlikely that you will pass. I don’t want to sound like an a$$ but in my opinion that is just not enough. But if you have to, Schweser is your best bet…and dedicate the last two weekends to exams.

#6

of course you CAN pass. just don’t expect to sleep and you will have to take off some work.

#7

Here is the misunderstanding: I’m not planning to use Schweser only :slight_smile: I believe that during my studies I came across a huge portion of the curriculum, thus I don’t feel I’ll need to read again and again to memorize the LOS. Schweser is only supposed to help me with retaining the concepts. I just want to know where should I spend my money: study notes, MP3, QBank, etc

#8

Study notes.

#9

I used Qbank to drill the curriculum during office hours I used my own notes and Schweser notes to go over the material again and again and I listened to the audio tapes during my commute (I drive) to drill the qualitative parts - I found the audio tapes much more appropriate for L3 than for L2

#10

Thanks all :wink: I think I’ll get QBank and MP3.

#11

oh and, study however you want - Schweser, your own notes, Secret Sauce etc but just make sure to go through ALL assigned probs at least once
