HI guys, those of you who have started your studies, can you please share how much have you completed ??
just for motivation
 
Started a couple of weeks ago and am now on the EOC problems for reading 13, so nearly finished volume 2.
I also skipped volume 1 and will come back to that at the end after hopefully going through volumes 2 - 6 in order.
How about you?
 
Im on track to finish all readings in the next 2 weeks. Then spend Jan/Feb going through all BB/EOCs 2-3 times.
 
I haven’t started yet!! I will begin in the new year and hope for the best.
From what I gather, less time is required for L3 compared to L2. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
Is that an outsider’s bias looking in? Is it overconfidence bias? I really do not know.
With much less quantitative portions, and a lot more “writing” tested - I think it took me longer.
 
Started 2 August and had two weeks off in September.
Read all CFAI text.
Now doing EOCs
I’m finding Level3 entertaining and really challenging. Less reading and a lot more time needed for me.

I “gather” it requires less time from forums, internet, etc. I am definitely an outsider looking in because I haven’t even looked at the curriculum yet. In retrospect, I’m not sure why I asked in the first place because I am only going to have a certain amount of study time regardless. I guess I was hoping several people would chime in that L3 is easier than L2 and make me feel better about my procrastination (it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen haha).
 
Started Nov. 10, Starting Book 5 next week.
I quickly realized after the first week of studying that it’s completely different from L1 & L2. I’m getting bogged down by the shear mass of qualitative information by making sure that I remember the advantages/disadvantages and alternatives of everything. I’m being very thorough in my reading and memorization.
I don’t think I’ll be done with my first pass until the beginning of February. My second pass will likely be much faster - hoping to finish the second pass by the end of April. Seriously.. start now.
 
Started a few weeks back. Completed 2 schweser volumes (CMEs, Asset Allocation, Economics, FI, equities, RM, AI…). It’s boring as hell so far.
