Which study materials do you recommended for CFA 1, Schweser vs CFA official curriculum ?

[@armynso]

Not all chapters have the same amount of pages. Perhaps, rank by pages and adjust for difficulty [easier readings rank higher] should be the most proper ranking?

[@sholafatus1]

Hello Doc, Thanks for your support thus far, do I still need to read the standards of practice handbook after listening to your audios/videos notes on ethics? Thanks.

Hello Mark, I will start preparing for L2 soon, and I would like to ask if I do come across topics that I am not as strong as I am supposed to be from L1, what should be my approach? As I also remember you mentioning in one of your earlier videos that to start preparing for L2, we might need not revise L1.

[@MarkMeldrum]

Well, better to start sooner than later incase you feel that you need to revisit Level 1.

Is the ethics podcast still available on your site?

[@yashsharma911]

Quick question regarding final review for Quant section... As you have major readings highlighted for FRA, are there main readings in Quant which are most represented on the exam? Few such as hypothesis testing, etc I’m hoping to just skip if not highly tested. I’d appreciate any thoughts!

[@MarkMeldrum]

Of the 8 readings, R4-R7 more heavily.

[@mahmoudbadr9335]

Prof, Will you make a review video for ethics?

[@MarkMeldrum]

Not for Ethics. The review would basically be the whole thing.

[@longislandicetea4537]

Can someone send me the link to the FRA review video? Can only find Mark's longer vids on that topic.

Hi Mark. I’m using your program for level 1. I have a little bit than less than 12 weeks left for the exam. I went through your material once. Do you recommend I take 6 weeks of redoing the material since I’m still not grasping it and then leave 6 weeks for mocks and questions?

[@MarkMeldrum]

Sounds reasonable.

[@aartisreenivas1059]

How many mock exams should a person do leading up to the exam?

[@jeremym1553]

prof, which book are u referring to for the cfa study in your video? is it the kaplan notes or the official cfa book? Thanks

[@MarkMeldrum]

Always the official CFA books.

[@faisalaleisa8640]

hi mark , i plan to take L1 (may 23 ) , is there a way to get the books before registration opens thanks

[@Kitman0304]

Prof, quick question, in the exam, will questions from different topics be mixed and randomly tested, or we will have a section of the questions for Quant, and then FRA and then Ethics and so on?(I'm not saying testing in a specific order but you get my point)

[@kavkav111]

You will have it in a specific order. A question from one topic will not be mixed with another topic.

[@Kitman0304]

Thank you!

[@kavkav111]

I was worried about the same thing too. But when I looked at the mock papers this issue was resolved.

[@tigerspuds1]

Hi Mark, Are these review videos still available on KZbin? Thanks!

[@MarkMeldrum]

No they are not. Only on markmeldrum.com

[@ukN101]

[@ukN101]

[@Ahmed-it8zs]

what the passing average score ?

[@MarkMeldrum]

[@ruchibhadra6319]

Hi Mark, you said that videos for review on Quant, FRA, FI, PM and equity are on youtube while Corp. Fin., Derivatives, Alt Income and Economics are on markmeldrum.com. I am confused as i am currently doing the review from markmeldrum.com and all topic review are available there so what's the difference with youtube review videos and videos on markmeldrum.com.

[@MarkMeldrum]

KZbin is limited to what is there - markmeldrum.com has all of them.

[@ruchibhadra6319]

Mark Meldrum thanks a lot for prompt reply and appreciate you as a professor.
