Its just been more than a month or so I sat for Level I. Yesterday someone asked me a question on interest expense of premium and discount bonds and I realized that I dont remember @#$%&. This mostly applied to FSA. Anyone else got brainwashed like me?
 
It is amazing how quickly you lose it without the day-to-day repetition. However, it is also amazing how quickly you can get it back with a little study.
 
I walked out of the test very confident that I did well, and now, it's like I never even studied. I can't remember anything with clarity. I'm sure it comes back quickly with little review, or at least that's what I'm telling myself to feel better.
 
I agree with thommo...I'm a retaker and while I felt that I forgot everything within a week of the exam the first time I wrote, I found it was a LOT easier to pick up again with a bit of review and you'll be surprised how many little details will come back to you whenever you get back into study mode
 
If you guys took a Schweser exam today how do you think you would do? I think I would be able to score 65%+, I'd hope. A lot of the quant based material is stuck in my head. I will never ever forget CAPM or DDM. The conceptual stuff from Econ and FSA has left the building though. I remember a lot of the broad topics but if I had to go into detail about the differences between an operating lease and a sales lease I would be screwed.
 
Whatever be, it seems as if I forgot the material. I am confident that with little review, I can recollect all that I have learnt for June 09 exam. I will never forget NPV, IRR and some stuff in FSA & Quant.

I agree with Chuckrox8, if asked about the broad topic, I will be able to answer. However, need to review to answer the nitty gritty details.
 
ya, conceptual stuff is easy to retain , but some things have washed out completely like
alternative investments .... WTH
most of corp finance ...... never absorbed it fully
and the long jargons of starting chapters of FI and starting chapters of Equity
and lots more , i just don't want to find out :D

Only thing that's fully intact is derivatives and quant !
 
and yeah , i forgot to even think about ETHICS , i'm sure it was gone even one week after exam :D .
 
eish, i forgot everything once i left the Dec 08 exam, and FORGOT everything after i walked out the June 09 exam, that sucks eh?
 
I still feel confident that I could get a half decent score on the exam, even after not looking at the material for a month and a half. I would probably fail, but I still feel good about the major concepts, and even some of the minor and more obscure ones.
 
Yeah

Same here. And reading the post on this forum you guys have a lot of knowledge and there are plenty of things I overlooked. But hope for the best I guess come the 28th...D-Day.
