LI was mostly review but had some interesting topics. The Equity and FRA sections in LII was fascinating… but I have yet to come across anything exciting in LIII. Is this in deed the most boring of the three?
 
Have you covered all the sessions? Behavioral Finance may be a hard sell but know what it will be very practical. But what about performance evaluation? attribution is even more interesting than FRA if you ask a CPA like me : I don’t know what work you do but I suggest when reading them imagine that’s really relevant to your work. Who knows, even if they’re not relevant at the mo, they get handy if and when you are hired to a finance job.
 
I found the early Study Sessions hard going, but it definitely picked up and got more interesting as the curriculum went on.
You just need to get through the early ones.
 
Its funny actually, by the end of second study session I started liking Behaviour finance - in the end atleast its closer to real life actually. As some one said in another thread, its more humane :))
Ive only done SS 3/4 now :( Slowly picking up speed and hope to finish one pass by March end atleast.. Otherwise I can plan to write L3 next year again I guess :))
 
sooraj, begin with the end in mind (according to Stephen Covey), therefore i encourage you to begin with passing in mind. :)
 
Personally, I found Behavioral Finance to be excruciatingly boring. Once you get past that, I think it picks up a bit. However, I still think Level 3 is the most esoteric of the three levels.
 
Parts of the CFAI text that dealt with Estate Planning, Probate process etc. were drier than the state of Arizona
 
Estate planning - 100% agreed mate..
It was like a lullaby to me for the three days I tried to read it :(
