topic weights

CFA Level III
#1

With this much time before the exam, I dont have time to finish everything. The topic weights are not clear for me, I looked at them on the site, its not a clear per study session weight and since things are mixed up I am not sure what to focus on.

Does anyone have a good understanding of what I should be focusing on, maybe ranking the 18 study sessions for me based on how much I would expect to see on exam. Sure noone really knows for sure, but I think many people understand the topic weights better than i do…

lowest weeights at 0-5% are usually:

GIPS

ECON

BEHAVIORAL FINANCE

Biggest weights usually:

SS1, 2, 4, 5 , 9, 10, 14, 15, 16

appreciate it sir, maybe a couple of more opinion to get a more accurate answer, maybe it wont be very exact, but hey its likely to give better results that spending 2 days on GIPS…

thanks again

quantitative: weighted average, compounding and discount, A=L+E and equations. qualitative: true or false, hide and seek, circle and list.

Less plug and chug, but the speed to solve the problem does matter…I wish we could rank the long-calculation in L3.

TOP 10 long&error-prone calculation:

Effective Interest Rate is in top 5. (It’s hardly divisible like Performance attribution).
