Can L3 takers, please give few points about the most effective way of preparing for L3? Use just cirriculum books ? Use other service provider notes,? Which one? etc
Thanks in advance.
 
I think first step in effective and efficient way for preparing for L3 is to pass L2. But I might be wrong. Any other L3 could chip in?
 
Level-II does seem to be a stepping stone for level-III but I could be wrong.
 
Read the CFA curriculum. The general wisdom is to put a special focus on the Blue Box material, because they’re they’re more likely to show up. But I wouldn’t put too much stock in that becasue no one can know for sure – anyone with inside information that reveals it is making an Ethics violation.
So anyone who tells you otherwise WITH CERTAINTY is is either lying, delusional, or in violation.
However, having made up probably 150 exams over my academic career, it’s probably more likely than not - it makes sense.
In addition, get used to WRITING your answers out. It’s a fundamentally different skill giving constructed responses than answering multiple choice questions.

You’ll probably get a lot more responses on this after Aug 11th.
 
The most effective way to prepare for the Level III CFA exam is to study the Level III CFA curriculum until you have mastered it.
That’ll take a while.
 
a lot of study and a less of practice
its more about concepts and memorizing rather than practicing as was the case in L2
kill the EOCs by the way

^Edupristine doesn’t come around anymore…but used to say insightful things like ‘I recommend taking L1 first, then L2, and then L3’.
I miss Edupristine.
 
I think Edupristine was a person pretending to be a bot pretending to be a person.
