fellow candidates, if there is one piece of advice i could give to you to help pass Level 2: know Financial Reporting (pensions, etc) inside and out. if you are “good” with the other areas, but a little shaky on FRA, you will not pass. the key to passing Level 2 is making FRA your STRONGEST section. I have not come across one person who has passed when they got <50% on that section.
obviously, you need to know the rest of the material, but FRA is key. i failed my first attempt @ L2 (i tried to skate by with 50/50 knowledge on FRA)…my 2nd go around i made it a point to focus on FRA and make it my strength - I passed after getting >70% on that section.
best of luck
