I haven’t written in this blog during my studies like I was planning to. If you passed level 1 in December and were studying for the level 2 June exam you would understand why. There is a lot of material to cover with only 4 months to do so.
I can thankfully say that I finished going through the curriculum today :D My notes are made and I’m ready to start the intense revision tomorrow. I am only three days behind the schedule I made at the start.
Overall I found the material only slightly tougher than level 1. In level 1 I found SS9 to be tough. Some parts of fixed income and derivatives also confused me. For level 2, the hardest part was definitely SS17 (derivatives). I found the swaps in level 1 confusing. Swaps in level 2 are a nightmare. I still don’t understand the concepts well but hopefully doing questions will help.
Other tough parts were fixed income, and part of portfolio management. I didn’t think they were as bad as derivatives though.
Tomorrow I’ll do the first sample exam to see where I should start revising first. I’m hoping I don’t fail it miserably. Good luck for your studies. There’s only 2 1/2 weeks to go so go hard!
18 days until the level 2 exam.
