Total study time - whole program

[Analystberg]

Hi all
Curious to see how much total study time people used to complete the program. I start myself:
L1 Dec 2012 : 250
L2 June 2013: 350
L3 June 2014: 450
Total: 1000 hours

I’d probably be around 1,000 as well. So much opportunity cost…

 

[Rogue Trader]

I’d Say between 900 hours 1,350 is ideal..

I’m a very slow reader. So far im around:
L1 - 400
L2 - 500
And expect to do 500 for L3 to make sure I pass.

most people fail 1 level, so double of those study years

 

[Topperharley]

About 350 each for L1 and L2. Plan on doing about the same for L3.

 

[JBrowntown]

About 1200 for me.

1500hrs for L1, 1000hrs for L2, I’ll be spending at least 1000hrs for L3

^Seriously?
I think I spent ~1300 hours. That includes failing L2 once.

One of these days, your parents are going to expect you to move out…

I am from non financial background, I wrote level 1 in dec 2013, level 2 in June 2014. I’m currently preparing for level 3

 

[Doppleganger]

I spent 6000 hours on L1, 8000 on L2 and plan on 10,000 hours for L3

I also come from non-financial background and that is just absurd

I can kinda understand a thousand hours for L1, if you count all the finance/accounting/econ/statistics courses that you took in college. But after L1, I don’t get it.
You got your results at the end of January. So from Feb 1 to June 1, you spent 1000 hours studying. That’s about eight hours a day, every day, seven days a week, right up until test day. Am I right?
Or suppose that you started studying the day after you took L1. That’s only 5.5 hours a day every day for six months straight.

You have the right not to believe and am out to convince you, I started studying exactly two days after L1 exam. 5.5hrs a day is nothing to me, I can actually spend more than that.

At $25 an hour that is close to 100k missed right there… what is your estimate of return on this?
