Sorry I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been quite busy at work lately. I have not been neglecting my studies but I’m not moving at the pace I would like to be. The good news is I’m still keeping up with my schedule. The bad news is I had a week in reserve when I started studying. That is completely gone now..
I finished the first book last week and finished Reading 24 today. So far, FSA does not seem too hard. It has just built on what was in the level 1 curriculum. This section is worth 15%-25% of the exam so even though it has been easy so far, it’s an area I need to know extremely well.
One thing I have been neglecting is questions. I have decided to get Schweser’s QBank for level 2 instead of Analystnotes. This is because I have heard Analystnotes are nowhere near the same quality as it was for level 1. Also I don’t want to be in the same predicament as last time a week before the exam.
I have not been doing many End of Reading questions in the curriculum either. From now on when I have a break at work I will work on these, instead of reading through the curriculum (which is what I’ve been doing).
I’ve been studying for a month now. I’m warmed up and need to put serious effort in. So far the material has probably been the same level of difficulty as the level 1 material, except I have half the time to cover it. I have heard fixed income is quite hard, and the biggest section of the exam (equity) was my weakest part in level 1. I now see why you are given postcards to give out…
85 days until the level 2 exam.
