Dear CFA Subreddit,I know this topic has been done to death, but I will ask anyway.How did you prepare for level 1? What do you advise me?Some background on me and my plans.I have a Masters in finance.I have a background in Finance, but I will not count on it.I plan to take it in June 2018.I took it in December 2016, but I was depressed (Exaggeration) and I couldn't motivate myself to study, so I failed.There are 312 days till the exam from today.44 weeks.61 Readings (58 Reading, not including the economics readings).Planning to start on the 27th of August, so 300 days).2 Readings per week (3 days for a reading, 1 day for revision. I work full time).29-30 weeks gone from reading and solving EOC Questions (I plan to get Qbank for kaplan).The remaining weeks will be for revisions with Qbank, Mock exams and anything you guys recommend?.Materials I will get CFAI Books, Kaplan Qbank and Mark Meldrum Videos (any recommendation?).I will be following Mark Meldrum, study plans of topicQuantitative Methods Fixed Income Derivatives Alternative investmentFinancial Reporting & Analysis Equity Analysis Corporate Finance Portfolio analysisEconomics EthicsI would appreciate anyone's on thought and recommendation!!!!. Here is my one piece advice for your situation: Write a mock exam stupid-early.Like, plan now to spend a Sat at your office in mid-March, tell everyone you're doing that.
Then, don't even bring notes with you. Just the printed mock. Do AM and PM in pencil on paper, timed, no interruptions (except lunch between).If you are over-prepared, you'll do okay on this.Most likely, there will be some content you've pretty much not touched. So, you'll get like 42%. Then you'll feel bad, but you'll also be motivated to switch gears for 3 months. Your mock scores in June will probably be 15+ points higher. You have detailed plan, which is fantastic.
The challenge is sticking to it. You give yourself 300 days - thats a very manageable 1 hour a day to get to 300 hours. With your background, it would seem that it is a matter of sticking to the plan, getting through the material, and then drilling over and over and over and over and over.MY two cents on your study plan is that you are starting a bit too early. No idea what your work schedule is like, but I do think that starting the study cycle in August could leave you with some gaps between the time you a) read the material b)drill the material and c) sit for the exam.
You don't mention your work schedule, but I would assume its a consideration when you built this timetable out?I'll suggest what I did as an alternative to your method: Start a bit later. I did December, but whenever I do LII I would likely shoot for November. Working full time I set a target of 14-16 hours a week, which easily got me over the 300 hours hump. I would do 90 min - 2 hours on weekdays, which allowed me to not dedicate all my weekends to studying (which also helped me stay sane!). But the weekly schedule gave me flexibility to put more on my plate during the weeks/weekends depending on what I needed with my schedule. Foe example, I found that I really enjoyed only studyign 2-3 hrs a day on the weekend, so I started waking up earlier to study.Whatever you do - stick to your schedule. Hell be a bit more aggressive!
But you dont want to fall behind - procrastination it seems can really knock you off your game.You've got a ton of qualifications, and a wayyyy more detailed plan than I ever had - just stick to it (or whatever you decide to do) and I'm sure you will crush it!. At the end of the day the best way to prepare for this this is to actually start working. Chipping away a little everyday/week. Read, work the problems, review material you've gone through already, and then have enough time to take some mocks.It doesn't matter if you have 300 days, or you have 30 days. It's the hours and work that you can put in. Did you read the material or a decent set of notes? Did you answer the questions?
Did you work the examples? Are you able to blow through mock exams with time to spare?Now.
With all that said. I was an L1 retaker. I put in 400 hours over 5 months. Used Wiley notes for the first 3 months and read Ethics and FRA from the CFAI. Then I spent two weeks doing EOC questions, and in the final 6 weeks used Wiley qbank to drill while also doing topic tests and took 4 mocks: 1 schweser, 2 wiley, 1 CFAI.
At Level III, the CFA Institute provides three years of actual old level III morning exams, containing essay questions (and answers) that candidates can use to practice.One of the keys to success at Level III is that you want to wrap up your studying early enough that you have time to work through these old exams, and become comfortable with what you need to write to get the available points.The biggest benefit of third-party study materials is simply that they allow a candidate to wrap up their reading much more quickly, allowing more time to focus on pre-exam practice questions. At Level III, practice on these morning essay questions is critically important.
I used for levels 1 and 2. It was perfect for level 1, and more than adequate for passing level 2.I just finished reading the CFAI books for level 3 since isn’t out yet anyway. I think I have a pretty good knowledge of the curriculum now, so this time will only be a supplement. The secret sauce and quicksheet are always nice to look over.
My impression from reading this forum is that the advantage of is much smaller, or perhaps even negative, for L3.From a more general viewpoint, though, I think there is understated value in the depth of detail you get from CFAI. Perhaps not for L1, because it is very foundational and elementary, but by the time you are at L3 the material is very much about how things are really done on wall street and CFAI has details that never comes close to discussing.
It doesn’t show up on the test, but it definitely improves your knowledge. At this point, I regret the things I forget from L1 and L2, and I don’t really give a crap about ‘passing the tests’ as I don’t really worry about this or think that the source has any effect, but now, really knowing this material is important, and I think the official texts are better at this than. The latter is an informational supplement, not a primary source, and I think most use it as a shortcut, and that is what they get. It is better for very quantitative parts, but the tests are never as quantitative as you might expect.

In a way this is entirely understandable but you ultimately need knowledge rather than letters after your name.
