What can I leave until end to study? Is equity easy? Even if it is it’s a large proportion of the exam so I’m just going to study it now. I’ve completed FSA and derivatives and know them in depth.
I’m leaving quant to the end – I’m a stats grad and actuary and time series stuff was my life for post grad.
Is it ok to leave portfolio, corporate finance and ethics for the end? The only other one…Alternative investments. How difficult is that?
Thanks. Also…I heard eco is tough so i’m doing it now with equity.
 
How many things can you leave to the end?
I would say you can leave quant (if you are confident) and etheics (since you’ve seen it before) to the end but other than that there are no easy sections!
 
Quant and Corporate Finance definitely can be left to the end. I’d say, aside from capital budgeting, Corporate Finance is a walk in the park.
 
Thats what I’ll do then. I’ll leave quant, corporate and ethics to the end. And by the end I mean with 30 days left til exam date.
I dont mean cram them in on the last week. I should hopefully have all the other sections done by then..
Thanks clearlycanadian.
 
Contrary to other posters, I found L2 quant to be brutal and econ to be relatively easy.
 
Since quant + econ will be ~10% of the entire test…I would focus on the other 90%.
FSA + Equity + Corporate Finance will be 50%.
Derivatives + Bonds will be 30%.
Study accordingly.
 
Corporate Finance without a doubt. One week is enough to nail this.

I nail it in 5days but this is my third time of trading it
 
IMHO Corporate Fin and Alternative Investments are two topics which are pretty straightforward and work on simple common sense reasoning. So these could be areas that you could leave for the end. Especially Corporate Finance.
 
Thanks guys for all the input. This site has been extremely valuable. Didnt know it even existed for CFA I times.
Again much appreciated for all the input
