I failed Level 2 once, then I passed it last year. I wish someone had told me this before March. This is the single best piece of advice that anyone ever gave me about the Level 2 exam.
If you put the same amount of effort into Level 2 that you put into Level 1, then you are guaranteed to fail. Start earlier, study more often, and study longer hours.
Truer words were never spoken.
If you have a bachelor’s degree in finance, and you show Level 1 the respect it deserves, then you should be able to pass–even if you only study 100-150 hours.
Level 2, however, is a whole new level of understanding. I personally don’t think that 300 hours is enough. You should plan on 350-400.
That’s my opinion. As Obi-Wan might say, “You must do what you feel is right, of course.”
