So when do you expect to start studying L3?

CFA Level II
#1

I nearly threw up just typing that question.

#2

2016

#3

Sweet merciful lord why would you ever ask this? I want to throw up on your throw up.

#4

F U

#5

when i pass level 2 in 2018 cough cough

#6

I plan to study for L3 after I pass L2 in July.

I think you guys will do fine and will pass as well. Stay true to yourself!

[dupe]

#8

Probably around November. I am a December L1 to June L2 taker. have been constantly studying for the past 14 months. Need that break.

#9

This is bad karma

#11

We’re just trying to be positive. You never go in an interview saying that you think you wont get it would you?

#12

We shall all pass L2 and “briefly” starting studying for L3 in August then leave it till April, just to hate ourselves for procrastinating…!

#13

I have 3 weeks of annual mandatory military service in early November, which is really boring here in Switzerland. So I hope I’ll have some time to start reading the curriculum during that. But first, fingers crossed it works out on Sat :smiley:

Bump

Has anyone else started to casually look at what is included in the L3 curriculum and started to mentally prepare for the essay questions that await us - hopefully - next summer?

I think much of the curriculum looks quite interesting actually, especially the behavioral stuff. Will probably stop thinking that at some point…

#15

October 1st, 2015! Never look back.

#16

I have spent 150 hours for 2nd lvl. So thinking that it won’t be enough for passing the 3rd lvl and planning to start at september/november.

#17

2016, earliest…

#18

The irony is strong here.

#19

Now that I can consider this question again without sensing an urge to vomit, I would say it would be as soon as I got the (obviously positive) result. The 20-25 hour/wk pace I subjected myself to for L2 was too much for my already loaded schedule. I’d readily trade off an earlier start for a better work/life/study balance.

#20

well… November or december max.
