So I passed level 2 and i am happy but i put in like >600 hrs of study. On the other hand, i see several people post that they just did it in a month’s prep or like 200 hrs. HOW??????? Kinda sucks for me! But still hard for me to believe, i understood once could do that for L1 but this is FREAKING L2. One person said that he didn’t even have time to pract. How in the world did they get used to the question style? Either way, if they are saying the truth, Kudos but i am still pissed :(
 
No need to be pissed or jealous b/c in the end it doesn’t matter. The folks who brag about it must really want a cookie or deficient in some other social area.
 
How do you know that you would have failed if you only used 200 hours?
 
i am jealous of the fresh college grads hired by Investment Banks

Quite simple, i hadn’t even finished the curriculum @ 200 hrs let alone practice etc. Of cource i would fail.. My first mock was in the low 60s
 
i always cheat when doing the EOC.. going back and forth at the solution (not actually using it as a quiz)
 
You may have an advantage over those people when you are preparing for level 3 exam since you are more familiar with all the concept. :)

My first mocks were in the 50s and I think my highest was a 65 or so and I was fortunate enough to pass. You never really know how the chips will fall on exam day.
I’m one of the roughly 200-250 hr folks, but over a long stretch. I started slowly preparing in the fall and then got down to probably 5-7 hrs a week for Jan-March due to spending too many hours at work.
 
I put in around 200-250 hours and only took one half of a mock test. I was just cramming so much at the end I had no time to do anything but study. Not an ideal way to study and my stress levels were so high that I would have rather put in way more time and not had to worry…. definitely nothing to be jealous of lol!
