Just wanted to take the chance to say thank you. I feel confident and nervous at the same time. It's been a long and incredible journey since last October. I hope to see you soon at level 2.

[@pratspals]

Thank you for everything Mr. Meldrum. It's been a long journey through L1,2 and 3. Let's hope we get through. Cheers :D

Thank you Prof. Mark for everything! Good luck to all the candidates.

[@pahtsan]

I'm not sure if I passed lvl2 or not, but the only reason I had a chance was because of your videos. I wish I used them more earlier on. Thanks Mark!

Very strange restriction not allowing having a bottle of water. It's another 3-5 minutes of journey to the cooler station.

Just wanted to share my experiance from my CFA level 1 exam. I sat down for the morning session and the person beside me had no calculator. The whole time I was expecting him to pull it out of his pocket or something. The exam starts and he has no calculator! As we are writing the exam, I can sense him furiously writing on the exam and I can only guess he was manually working the formulas. The temptation to look over just to see how the heck he was writing this exam was intolerable; I had to physically turn my back to him to stop myself from trying to peak and the proctor judging me to be cheating. I just kept my head down and kept on writing. Temptation to look can be innocent but it doesn't matter. I had friends written up for less.

[@MarkMeldrum]

Lesson here - bring the calculator!

[@madinameterkulova3660]

Thank you!

[@Dzivdza]

The sniffles LMAO

[@Ndk_-oy3jh]

Mark can you post some videos on frm exam preparation and tricks? It would be really helpful.

[@legendbass66]

Anyone knows if we're allowed to bring an extra calculator in the exam room instead of batteries ?

[@MarkMeldrum]

yes you can

[@sharjeelkhan284]

How do we select the answer on the answer sheet? I mean do we circle the right option or just write the correct option infront of question number already provided in the answer sheet?

[@sharjeelkhan284]

Asking this for December exam

Hello professor, I had taken your L2 subscription. I have few videos pending to download. Can you please let me know how can I download as the subscription is closed??

[@MarkMeldrum]

Our upgrade to the site is today. Once that is done, access should be restored.

[@rushabhshah4958]

Mark Meldrum sir.. Thank you

[@cheikhoudiallo1560]

Thanks a lot .

[@MarkMeldrum]

You are welcome!

[@vo9vo9]

Thank you Dr.Mark. When will the website work again ?

[@MarkMeldrum]

We are upgrading the software today - so once the database is restored, we can go live again. We blocked 4-6 hours to do this. Its been 3 hours now.

[@rajaneeshsu4233]

I have watch with some words printed on it. Is it prohibited inside exam hall?

[@MarkMeldrum]

why take the chance...

[@rajaneeshsu4233]

👍.. thanks

[@cheikhoudiallo1560]

You can’t give them any chance to think something is going on.

[@rohitpathak20]

Can we carry pen for rough work??

[@MarkMeldrum]

why take a chance? Pencils are safe.

[@rohitpathak20]

Mark Meldrum sure thanks

[@haroldjamesrealestateagent1401]

you could bring your phone and just turn it OFF

[@MarkMeldrum]

No phones will be allowed in the room.

[@haroldjamesrealestateagent1401]

oh woah, thank you for clarifying....I would leave it in my backpack could I do that?

[@MarkMeldrum]

Backpack not allowed in the room.

[@kenbellinger874]

Keep it in the car or at home...

[@rossacavei]

My CFA test center is in the middle of nothing. I don't have a car, so I need a bag for calculator, batteries, medicine, tissues, pens/pencils, passport, ticket, lunch box (no restaurants around),... Do you think I can drop it somewhere? There will be a designated area? Thanks!
