L1, less than 10 days of studying, finance undergrad. Everyone was telling me it's impossible, guess who's laughing now.
im confused can you decipher that image for me
I passed the Level 1 CFA exam with a score higher than ~90% of the candidates who attempted the exam. The key is on the right.
lmao good job nigga
Are you in the industry? If so how long?
I worked at a bulge bracket IB for around a year, but realized that I can make magnitudes more money trading crypto, so that's what I'm doing
I think being a wageslave should never be the dream, the CFA is just an insurance plan in case something goes terribly wrong
>insurance
Good idea. With your results I'm sure you can do it but CFA L2 is a lot harder than L1. I went from doing 160 hours of study for L1 to 250 hours for L2 and scoring worse.
So what, maybe 20 days for you max.
Maybe i'll try in December
I made a thread about CFA some time ago.
My work is very unrelated to finance/investing etc. But I'm very interested in finance stuff and I'd like to apply for CFA exams and maybe someday work with in this field.
I know CFA requires some years of professional experience in finance. So cant I take the tests?
I think a very large portion of the exam comes down simply to how good of a test-taker someone is.
I've always been extremely good at multiple-choice questions, a few years back I took my sailing license exam with ~14 hours of studying right before the test while others prepared for an average of two weeks. That exam had a set pool of around 3000 questions, I had 14 seconds to learn a question and the answer, I did't even take a piss or eat for 14 hours straight while I was studying non-stop. I was the only one in 3 years at the sailing school who passed the exam with a 100% score.
The professional experience doesn't have to be finance related, lots of people take the exam with entirely unrelated backgrounds.
nice. and what about the 4 yrs exp requirement? can i apply earlier?
Yes you can take all the levels without experience. You do need experience to receive the charter but test you do not.
You do need to be a college grad to take the second and third level exams. The first you do not.
I can't pass L2. Am I retarded
good. thanks.
are the topics covered hard? which one is hardest?
or is it related to the exam itself? too much topics, timing etc?
Just passed L2. Above 90th percentile overall.
Pic related.
The problem with level 2 is there is a good deal of topics that aren't covered by a simple bachelors in finance. Multiple regression, pension accounting, a lot of the portfolio management stuff, etc.
just passed level 1, surprised to be also close to 90 th percentile. Way above the 90th percentile in Equities! 90th percentile for Ethics
Just passed L2. Exactly between 90 and passing score.
L1 I was above 90 percentile even though I reviewed harder for L2.
Jesus fuck dude!
Good job. What did the newfags call it back in the day? The thing where 4channers slowly inflitrate higher society. like project chanology or some shit.
