CFA Level II
#1

Hi everyone,

I passed 2013 level 1 exam on June, and now I want to get started with level 2 for June 14. The thing is I have Kaplan study guides for 2013 level 2 exam, and I dont know if I need to buy 2014 guides or is it ok with the old ones.

Thanks for your advice,

Good look to everyone who did the exam this december!

Many people (including yours truly) have used last year’s material to pass this year’s exams.

Just make sure that there wasn’t a big change in the material. For example, the Behavioral Finance section did a complete overhaul in 2012. If you used last year’s materials, it would have been useless. However, that is fairly infrequent and usually not going to be enough to significantly change your grade.

There’s an addition of two readings in Equity Valuations, one in Alternative Investments and two in Portfolio Management in the 2014 curriculum for Level 2

You can read the detailed changes in LOS here:

you can pull it off. I am doing it this year (i failed the first time around)

You could find a study group and read your 2013 material and then ask your partners for help on any of the changes or just ask to read those pages specifically.
