Is it really such a bold move to go for May? I read the entire curriculum except for 70-80% of Fixed Income, Economics, and Derivatives. And of course, those were my lower scores together with Ethics. The rest were really quite high scores, well above 70%

Level 2 is a different exam that you need to prepare slightly differently for. The recent 39% pass rate demonstrates this. We have many videos on this channel about Level 2 strategy.

The topics are all important to be honest. You can check CFAI's website for the topic area weights for your exam, but the difference between a pass and a fail can often occur on the lower weighted topics. So the best approach is to treat all the topics as important. If you'd like professional structure and guidance, feel free to join Nathan as our student if you wish. Have a great day!

Hey Nathan, please advise - I’ve couple of days left in my result & it’s impractical to cover the PSM for me & also understand it. Is it fine if I just put it on at 2x & not listen to it just for the sake of getting the result. Though I want to properly watch the video after my result to understand the concept better. Is it fine considering the current situation?
@ChalkBoardCFAPrep 5 күн бұрын
How you approach the PSMs is up to you. It's an additional (valuable) learning opportunity provided by CFAI. If you do not technically finish it before your exam results day, your exam may be voided by CFAI. So proceed as you see fit. You definitely need to complete the PSM asap if you want to get a result.

Hi Nathan, this is Tanishq. With my chartered accountancy exams in May 2025 and CFA Level 1 in February 2025, my schedule is extremely tight. I'm considering postponing the practical skills module until after May 2025. Could you please explain the implications of withholding the results, particularly any potential long-term impact on my career?

I would advise that you talk to CFAI directly about this, they are very responsive by phone. If you've taken the CFA Level 1 exam and are awaiting results, but you do not complete the PSM before the results date, CFAI can void your exam and ask you to retake it.

I don't know about these special calculators but I have been using normal calculators for years now, a calculator rarely stops working out of nowhere because of low battery, it would give signs such as blur display and taking longer time to show numbers before it stop showing results.

There's a low chance of calculator battery failure on exam day, but in the small chance it happens it can ruin months of hard preparation. If you have a new battery, there's nothing to fear. Good luck on your exams!

If I decide to pursue the Private Market pathway now and later on pass Level 3, will the content I've studied help me with Level 2 for the CAIA program? Since I plan to skip Level 1 CAIA, which I assume covers the basics, is this thinking flawed? Should I just stick with Portfolio Management? I would really appreciate your insights.
@ChalkBoardCFAPrep 19 күн бұрын
The CAIA Level 2 program is fairly self explanatory as a stand alone. People often ask if taking CAIA Level 1 and Level 2 can help you prepare for the CFA alternative investments questions. My answer is the same, it has minimal effect. The CFA program is typically more quantitative and the CAIA program generally is more subject-material topic oriented (information over calculations).

For large cities with many test centers, this probably won't be as big a problem as for smaller cities/countries with fewer testing centers. It really depends on your location and how many candidates are trying to compete for your desired test center locations/dates. A good rule of thumb is to register as soon as possible so that you can give yourself the best chances.

Hi Mr Ronan, I've got my exam in 3-4 days and i did four mocks - two from Kaplan and two from CFAi and my scores are all averaging in the 50s. I already finished practicing all practice questions from the CFAI LES portal more than 3 weeks back with a 72% accuracy and have have done all ethics questions since then and have been reviewing ethics everyday yet my ethics scores are averaging in the 50s in the mocks. I did solve an additional 100-150 questions from two kaplan papers and have mostly been busy re reading all chapters and solving all solved examples from my Kaplan books as well as topic quizzes. Had been reviewing all mistakes and tough questions from the Les and have reviewed all my solved mocks once but i finally just finished one complete revision now and still feeling low confidence over my poor mock scores. Dont think i have time to re review the q bank for each topic now, what should I do?
