Let me help you.
DO YOU WANT TO FAIL?
Do you really want to be one of “those” people who are still lurking around AF licking their wounds from last June or DO YOU WANT TO CRUSH THIS THING?
Do you really want to be right back here in the Level II forum next October telling all the other newbies what you are going to do differently this time? Think about it… If you fail, you’ll be here next year asking questions from a bunch of kids who haven’t even cracked open their first Level ONE book yet. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THAT PERSON?
Get with it, man, and crack down.
I hope this was helpful.
 
I will read Schweser and utilize the CFA material if I do not understand.
I think Schweser does a great job summarizing the material. By test time, I will have read Schweser twice and taken a review course as well as answered question bank and schweser problems. Based on friends that have passed all 3 levels, this is overkill.
We shall see…
 
Just cracked open book 0 of schweser and then it begins with ethics. Good to see you back on the boards plyon. Looks like I am way behind if you are already finished with ethics. Best of luck to everyone.
 
Shooter,
do you have a job? Or how will you manage to read all the cfai texts by the end of December
 
Pylon, your advice was dead on … Hopefully people realize that this is no icing on the cake and will take hard work to compete with the folks who were not successful in June.
In any case, in terms of my progress report, I intend to finish Ethics this week, will focus on Quant and Econ in November, corp fnan in December and FSA in Jan and so on.
If everything goes according to plan, I should have 6 to 8 wks of review, and do nothing but questions … though I will be doing qbank q’s as I go along.
Good luck everyone …

No (can’t think of a situation where I did)

No (to the first part)

Not really, but thanks for the effort. :)
*I was able to read some econ last night after reading your post…so maybe it was helpful.
 
I did come across a really cool concept last night in econ that said that knowledge (component of human capital) is not subject to the law of diminishing returns.
Perhaps that is why we are all here?

Naw. It’s definitely the money.
:)
 
skimmed through Valuation and Equity. I love valuation because I am in Research. Fixed income looks a bit frightening, not much numbers in there.
 
I am working on GMAT right now, which i will be writing in early Dec.
Plan to start reading cfa afterwards. Hope i will catch you guys up next year.
