How’s everyone feeling? Anyone freaking out yet? How many of you out there are actually confident? Let us know your thoughts
Best of luck on the next two weeks of studies
 
I’m feeling pretty good. 1 more week of review, followed by one week of mocks. I hope I do well on the mocks! Oh, and the exam. LOL
 
I’m feeling tired and not willing to do any more reading or Qs. That’s why I’m watching videos right now, I hope after day or two I’ll have more energy. The good news is I managed to take two weeks off.
 
I’m really tired as well - it’s hard to give up the rest of your life for one exam.
The thought of failing this and going through it all over again is just too scary for me. God!
 
Burned out, now at the end of FRA practice exams.
Still Der, PM, Quant, Econ, Corp to go. And I have only the week before the exam off.
**** my life.
 
If I don’t pass, I don’t know if I’ll sit for the Level II again. Actually, if I pass, I don’t know if I’ll sit for the Level III. I’m having a hard time seeing how the majority of this content is even relevant to my work. If you’re not in the industry, most people don’t even know what the CFA is.
 
^Yeap I have the same feeling as well coz in no way has this helped me with my trading - and whatever little derivatives portion there is, it’s wayyy too easy for it add any value in my job.
Anyway, in it to win it now
 
Yeah, I’m just burned out mostly, and the fear of having to do it all over again after putting so much time into the last 5 months to prep for this. The weather is absolutely gorgeous, all my buddies are golfing and enjoying the long holiday weekend. My birthday is on Memorial Day and all I can think about is this exam. It’s lame but I’m neurotic like that.
I have the next two weeks off. I’ve only taken one Schweser mock and I did solid, so I’m hoping long sessions of more mocks and revision will get me where I need to be. The thought of having to take this again after putting in so much effort is nauseating. I have fleeting moments of confidence.
You’d want to own a call or put option if the underlying asset was my confidence. Because they would increase in value due to the high volatility. At least I think. Oh god, what is my name again? I won’t even be able to fill out the front page!
 
Yo itera how bout the smell of determination cuz I’m about to go Rocky Balboa up in the B$$$!!
haha
 
I freaking hate it, i’m tired, the material is too huge, the weather is beautiful, i hate it i hate it i hate it.
2 mocks to go (for 6 in total). I’m averaging 73-75% on those schweser mocks, and 73% on CFAI practice assessments (FRA is damn hard compared to schweser’s mocks FRA for christ sake). I’ll finish those practice assessments over the weekend, review everythang and go for the CFAI mock. If I get below 75% i’ll give up on this shit.
/end rant
 
After I failed level 2 last year I thought I might not do it again but then I felt like I had already spent so much time learning most of the material that’d id be crazy not to try again. I’m feeling good this time around and scoring 10% higher in mocks than I did last year so hopefully that’s a good sign

That’s pretty good.
Anything above 70% is pretty safe.
 
^With the amount of caffeine I have in my system and assuming the same trend forward - I doubt I’ll have the energy to go out. Probably gonna have some wine and dinner with the girlfriend.
but definitely hitting the immediately gym after the exam - might sound weird but I need to lift weights, bad.
 
My workouts have been so poor lately. I’ve been going @ lunch and getting in about 45 minutes each day at most. Sitting down for 18 hours a day doesn’t make the body feel too good
 
Thanks lammy!
Also I resent the fact that itera trolls this place enjoying our delicious tears. Hopefully there’s a standard put in place soon for that.

Those Wiley 11th hour videos are pretty good. I’ve been watching them while doing practice problems. The ones taught by Daren and Peter are quite exeptional.
The thing that bugs me though is…the damn intensive review fixed income videos are longer than the actual regular videos…..WILEY!!! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!!! Couldn’t you just do a good job with the regular Fixed Income videos first.
Also….I wish they actually released it 2 weeks earlier. Releasing them 28 days before the actual exam….is just so stupid….at least last year they released them 40-45 days before the exam.
The videos are really good and would love to watch them twice…but might not have enough time to.
But yah…confident and scared at the same time….all I know 100 percent for sure…is I need to get a good night of sleep before the day of the actual exam.
