Hello Folks,
Hope everyone is doing well with their studies!
I have about 450 hours of total study time for level 2. I know I won’t have enough time to answer all Qbanks, CFAI questions, and read both sets of books. I will regardless do every CFAI eoc question once, and complete 5 mock exams. It really irks me that I cannot do a majority of the questions available to me and read both sets of books. What is time better spent???
1. Read Schweser and do more Qbank?
2. Read Schweser and CFAI and do less Qbank? Again, I will do all CFAI EOCs.
Either way, I know I will feel less than perfectly prepared. If I could have a magical twin brother go to work for me, I’d probably spend 700 hours to ensure I pass.
Quick background:
First attempt at level 2. Passed level 1 in December 2015 (first attempt) with 420 hours of studying hitting top marks on 9 areas with the exception of AI, where I got 50-70.
Your opinions and advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
