Does anyone have any advice on how to tackle these two sections? I’ve taken 9 x 120 Question tests so far and my scores on Ethics / FRA seem (on average) to be about 10-20% lower than my score in the other sections….
 
Personally I think the best way to getting better at both sections is just do a lot of questions, especially in ethics. If you have Qbank, make 120 question all advanced questions for each section.
Ethics is really shady because there is so much gray area. Doing a lot of questions helps you start to catch the small clauses which hint at the answer.
 
FRA 7 and 10 is ok ya…just theory..its 8 and 9 thats the problem…out of which also i think balance sheet,inventories is again ok…its the income st, CF st, long-livd assets,liab and leases wich is the prob…out of which again there are many things in all of these topics that i know…its not that ive skipped anything…and some that i dont will probably guesswork…nd those ques would be like…5-6? so instead ill work hard in other topics which i think could be scoring and that would makeup for these i-dont-know ones..
and ethics…2 options alwayz seem right…so i guess ill just stare at the question to really get some meaning out of it…and then wil mostly get many right…
all th best to u nd to me!
 
Re-read CFAI ethics. Just give it a quick read it doesnt take too long. I was getting mid 60s on ethics in the practice exams, re-read it and now getting 80s.
 
Yup in the first book of the CFAI texts. I know it is a major drag to re-read it, but most of my ethics studying aside from qbank review was several months ago so it was a much needed refresher.
 
So I just realized I have no book 1 that came with my CFAI materials. Am I missing something here or is the first book really volume 2 (econ)?

There is no easy way to say this so here it is: You are f*cked
 
Nah I’m fine…I’ve been using Schweser and I’ve downloaded the ethics stuff from the CFAI website. From what I’ve been reading on here, the CFAI books are fairly useless if using schweser; mine still haven’t been taken out of the box they came in.
 
My strategy for ethics:
1. Peter Olinto explains ethics really well - an excellent and easy to understand review
2. Re-read ethics from the CFAI book, which is now much easier to read and absorb as a result of listening to Peter’s explanations.
3. Work plenty of Ethics questions
