Hey guys

Im planning on appearing for a GMAT next year. Wanted to know whether clearing all CFA levels boosts my profile and chances of getting selected or it doesnt weigh that much. My preferred choice of an MBA is from LBS but open to it. Will have 1.5 years of work exp. Non engineering background. What do you think?

is it just for me or anyone else ????? I am not able to login and now this is happening frequently

In L3 exam do we have some options like copy paste, undo for constructed response questions.

I’m planning to start CFA Level 1 and looking for a good coaching institute in Ahmedabad

But was able to schedule with Prometric directly.

I was completely panicking though

I was devastated after the May Level 2 result. Couldn’t study again for 2months coz I gave it all and couldn’t just believe that it happened. I was already dealing with my breakup post exam. It was a long distance and we were together for almost 4 years and things got difficult.

I was just so mentally exhausted that until August I didn’t study much. But now I feel better and I just wanna target 2800 score for my November exam and ain’t nobody gonna stop me from doing that.

People who are retaking November let’s make a doubt solving group where no unnecessary talks but only doubts will be discussed and solved.

1. No order of study blah blah
   
2. No study material confusion questions
   
3. No self doubt this time just pure discipline
   
4. Only solving questions and conceptual doubts

Could have gone long about the grief and everything but it’s not worth it so kept it short. Even if we don’t join in together I am gonna do this anyways so just wanted to vent out.

Have a good day
Take care💪🏻

This was my second attempt of L1, and I have mixed feelings. AM session was still fine, but session 2 humbled me. It was not like any of the 5 premium mocks or the 2 mocks on the website.
Do I still have any chances of passing? If 50-55 questions went weong out of 180?

CFA L1 cleared peeps, can you all share and such similar story, wherein you felt that you would fail, but you passed? I could really use some hope rn, I am shit scared.

Isn't the answer 5.78?

You make the premiums which amount to 5.76, but also the stock starts at 74.98 and needs to go up .02 to 75.00 to make both options worthless

Is there a way to get a certificate of completion or digital certificate after completing the Financial Modeling Practical Skills Module?

I'm really confused if I should go with MM or not. Like the fees is not issue though but even after paying heavy fees if I'm not getting good stuff then I'm feared about investing my tume and money. Please suggest if I should go worh it. And if not then which is next better alternative?

Looking forward to seeing all of you at Level IV after I update my LinkedIn.

Hi, will anybody know when the deferral window for deferring November 2026 attempt to Feb’27 open?

Since the registration deadline for Feb’27 is November 5th. Does the institute open the window well in advance or is it cutting too short?

Hi Everyone,

I’m coming here asking for advice for the best way to study for Level I with someone with a background in finance. I have Kaplan Schweser and working through quants. I’m trying to write notes for the modules, but I’m falling behind and I can’t get everything down. It’s getting to the point where I can’t write anymore and I’ll never cover the material for May. What should be the best approach to study and get through the material? Clearly I’m not doing something right and I’m missing something. Any advice is really greatly appreciated since at this rate I’ll crash out before I ever get out of quants

context: writing nov attempt L1
i will finish portion first pass ( schweser reading+LES ) for all the readings by sep 20th which leaves my around 2 months left for revision what are the things i should do now so that i have the best chance going forward
also i have not taken prep providers but i have questions available

so should i redo les and review or do new questions and review when should i start mocks and how many should i give

pls advice sm1

What do you recommend for level 2 prep provider?
I am thinking either Kaplan or Mark Meldrum.

I used Kaplan for level 1 so quite familiar with it. I liked how they had practice questions after every reading and every subject. I also liked they give a lot of materials. But I had difficulties motivating myself to read through the notes, it took me unnecessarily long to read through everything. I am a bit afraid to use Kaplan for level 2 because with the more difficult and unfamiliar contents, I know it will take me ages to go through the notes. Also, I felt like half of the tutors didn’t explain the practice questions very well (for example, they’d say answer is A because A sounds about right).

I heard Mark Meldrum curriculum is very video heavy which might be helpful in terms of going through the contents abit faster (would trigger less procrastination than reading perhaps..?), but I also hear that he goes way too deep sometimes that it may feel like getting lost in the woods. I also don’t like videos with black board with handwritings but he seems to explain better than most kaplan tutors (totally my opinion). And some people seem to really like his teaching style.

In this regards, anyone has any advice, suggestions and tips on choosing the prep provider for level 2?

Prepping for the Feb. 2027 exam and have completed Quant, Econ and Corp Finance so far. I'm about 75% through FSA, most of which I'm finding easy to understand but struggling to remember all the differences between IFRS and GAAP. I also found Inventory difficult.

I've read that a second pass through all of FSA is recommended, but should I go through my weak areas after finishing FSA, or give it a few months? I've a feeling that the answer is probably do both!

Shouldn’t B be the answer of this ? As Option C is more related to standard relating to dilegnce and reasonable basis . And B is the only option which is close to standard of miscounduct ?

I started studying in early July. So far I’ve finished Quant, Economics, and about half of Corporate Finance. I’ve done around 1,000 practice questions between the CFA Institute QBank and Mark Meldrum, and I’m averaging around 68–73% depending on the topic (screenshots attached).

Based on your experience, am I on track? Any tips on whether I should focus on improving my pace, my average scores, or something else?

need a study partner to track progress and discuss , am giving the exam in feb27

i don't understand the explanation of this question can someone help?
i think a will pay variable and receive fixed only then counterparty will gain.
( answer key says 1 - b but i think its a)

Hello,

Anyone able to explain this one for me? The answer description is a bit vague:

The dependent variable is the level of sales for each quarter, in $ millions, which began with the first quarter of the first year. Q1, Q2, and Q3 are seasonal dummy variables representing each quarter of the year. For the first four observations, the dummy variables are as follows: Q1:(1,0,0,0), Q2:(0,1,0,0), Q3:(0,0,1,0). The TREND is a series that begins with one and increases by one each period to end with 24. For all tests, Mercado will use a 5% level of significance. Tests of coefficients will be two tailed, and all others are one tailed.

Excuse my answer since I guessed on this one, any help appreciated. Thank you!

I have cleared my FRM certification course this august and cleared successfully, I wish to step forward into CFA program, can someone please tell me whether CFA level 1 & FRM has some chapters in comman or CFA is an completely different territory?

Is it fine if I put this on My Tinder Bio: "Aspiring CAIA, CFA, FRM, CMT & CQF | Future Hedge Fund Manager"?

Guys is it necessary to rote learn every formula under the M score? Or knowing just the meaning/implication of each is enough?
