Hi All,
Can anyone please comment what is the minimum amount of time required to clear Level III. I passed Level II Exam this June and due to some tight schedules ahead, I will get only a couple of months in April and May to study. I know the amount of time required varies from individual to individual. Just wanted to check whether there are folks who studied this less and still cleared the LIII paper.
Thanks in advance.
 
I was in grad school at one of the fancier places, had a classmate who started studying around mid April, then he put in almost 10 hrs per day in May straight until exam day and he passed. I must say, he was very academically inclined.
Then again, that is his side of the story, I have no way to validate it.
 
If you are a wealth manager, a portfolio manager, an investment advisor, an investment banker, a senior finance analyst with 10 year experience in wealth management and use all kind of products (fixed rent, variable rent, derivatives, structured assets, real estate, etc); you may pass the exam with little study. If not, it will just be a gamble.
Good luck mate.

At a minimum, you have to sit for the exam.

Thanks for your response:) I have one month of time in August. So, will try get a start now in this month and then move on further from there in April.
 
Just going through 6 full mocks, and all the online topic tests might take 100 hours including the time it takes to review the answers.. maybe about 100 to quickly read full curriculum and do all EOC/BB ..
so 200 hours minimum for someone that has an above average IQ and quick learner
 
For me, and for anyone with similar IQ and experience, I would say 600 hrs. Either I would finish them in one year (for first attempt) or extend it for the following year for next attempt. - This is reality for me.
 
you should start late of August, give yourself time to read and re-read the materials and master it, and by late of march you should start revision as you said you won’t have much time in April and May.
