Through SS 3-9, into SS 10, going slow but finding nothing conceptually difficult, scoring 65-70% on Q-banks thus far – anyone think I’m too far behind at his point? What’s ahead: asset valuation and equity, fixed income, derivatives, port mgmt, ethics.
If your scoring 65 - 70% and you are only half way through the SS, you are in great shape… I dont doubt you, it just hard to believe…
Help!! I can’t find my Book 6 (not that I’ve gotten that far). Have to call CFA Institute for a replacement. Whip out my corporate card…maybe they won’t charge me. Hey Sponge! yeah, there were a bunch of us lucky winners that get to repeat.
So far… 1) Done first pass through of reading Schweser notes 2) Listen to all Schweser video series once 3) 48% complete with q-bank with score of 72% Plan 1) Finish Q-Bank (I am reviewing each study session for an hour and then doing all questions in that study section. 2) Read Secret Sauce 3) Taking the following 3 classes May 2-4 Schweser 3 day in DC May 8-9 John Harris class in Chicago May 17-18 Schweser online problem solving 4) 1 full exam a day (6 from Schweser, 3 from SChweser online and CFAI 5) Last week rereading Secret Sauce and formula sheet. did this for level one (except only did half of qbank and no harris class) and got over 70% on all but two sections.
and yes…I leave for Hawaii on June 14th.
funny, I leave FROM Hawaii on the 14th!

really torn apart the schweser books a couple of times. now ready to go deep into CFA texts in certain areas (and certainly scan the whole thing so there are "no surprises)… and just have to force myself to remember the important formulae that aren’t intuitive and/or derivable…

Hi Sally, I just saw this message. Same regret here. How are you coming along with the material this year? And how was Vegas???
Just finished all the CFAI materials and practice Q’s this weekend and started reviewing today (Sunday)…gotta say, it feels good.
going to start bookk 4 schweser this week!
jeeez, Some people here are way ahead of the game…you’d think with all their studying they would get above 70% on every section… Anyway, I’m just about done with Book 4. Should finished Book 5 by the end of April or first week in May. That will leave a solid month for review. I’m feeling pretty confident.
