Just got to Windsor

I understand that Marc LeFebvre’s teaching there. I taught with him in Atlanta three weeks ago and again in San Francisco one week ago. Marc’s good.

I didn’t want to put it that way and risk it going to his head.
 
”Marc’s good f’ing PHENOMENAL!! “
+100^100 and maybe I should continuously compound that with “e”.
Marc should secede from the Nation of Schweser, go completely INDEPENDENT and RULE ALL OF L3 INTERNATIONALLY free and clear, without filters. That man IS as stated above plus GENIUS. Go Creighton BootCamp!
 
I have to go with Godism17 on that one! Marc is a great teacher.Creighton is also a great place to study + you get to come to Omaha, home of the best investor of all time.
 
Notice how everybody who commented on this post about Marc’s Creighton Bootcamp in my 2013 class (NOW LevelUP Bootcamps) is a Charterholder or CFA Passed L3 already….lol except me, still a lowly pathetic L3 Candidate://// !!! I took a year off to regain my committment to suffer…
I swear to God I think the class pass rate was like 75% or something and I’m the screwup 1 out of 4 or 1 out of 5 who didn’t study hard enough, didn’t do what Marc said, to pass like everybody else in the darn class. Serious regret.
To save many of you 1st time takers from repeating my hell, go to a solid review course, DO the 4-day Bootcamp with Marc (much cheaper than Windsor), study hard before you go and do what he said after you go…then send me flowers, chocolates and vintage wine when you pass:)
WE ALL don’t need to be repeating each other’s mistakes year after year.
 
It has been said elswhere in this forum but bears repeating that if there is enough take up, Marc is willing to arrange a review course in Zurich which, for us roaming freely in the old continent, would be quite easier to get to than Omaha (although, maybe, less hip).
Take a look here http://www.levelupbootcamps.com/events/
Few things on this planet are nicer than Zurich in spring.
Hope to see you there.

OK…So Marc says to use the CFAI…and I’ve been reading the CFAI for L3.
Question….How does a candidate break out the important topics? AND DON”T SAY ITS ALL IMPORTANT.
We obviously can’t memorize 2000 pages of stuff. So, Schweser breaks it down and attempts to partition out the testable pieces.
Right now I’m mired in Tools for CME. I find that every sentence can be a test question in here. Yet there are only 60 questions and 11 vingnetes. So, if I continue reading the CFAI how do I break out what’s important?
If I continue with the CFAI I’m going to waste probably 200 hours at least commiting to memory stuff that has super low likilihood of getting onto the test.
HELLLLLLLP!
 
Good for you storlab for reading the CFAI text! Get it straight fr the sourse and cut out middle man translation errors and confusions.
I know it’s a pain in the butt to read, I do it with a printout of the LOS next to me, find the answers to those LOS in the text, highlight it or underline, they do go in order. Mark up your books. Focus more attention to the Blue Box, Exhibits and some white text examples. I don’t read every letter they write. I pay attention when they list stuff, bold things or have mulitple examples of how to do something. Plus do ALL the EOC and solutions with CFAI, third party examples can’t beat it.
Sign up for the LevelUP Bootcamps with Marc, he will be sending out a Focus Package later. When you get the slide book at camp, my guess is his slides will be wildly popular bc it will summarize the curriclum very well, very easy on the eyes in color, black n white nonstop drives me nutz, they all look the same. Memorize that book, just get through the curriculum text even if not line by line.
Most learning will come in the end when you do tons of practice exams (the Bootcamp should come with a huge binder of old exam questions sorted out like before) and review weak areas. Practicing writing essays is also a huge ordeal, so don’t let the CFAI books get to you, go 30 pages a day.
 
Did you not read that other person’s funny post about:
Only one out of every two of you will make it —hahaha!
But it’s true. Going to a multi-day review course on L3 helps a TON bc it is so different fr L2. If you have lots of time and somehow know how to deal with L3 on your own, just self study and save your money.
If you don’t have a lot of time, think you might fail, have some study funds, go to a solid review class, save energy and time having someone else do the work, you just sit and mostly soak it in with some practice problems here and there.
I’m all for reducing unnessary suffering while boosting my personal probalility of passing. Being smart and knowing you don’t know it all is better than being egotistical about it, exhibiting an illusion of knowledge and false condifence you will pass.
This is the last CFA level, what will you regret not doing now if you fail?
