Got the results and passed. Very happy to be done with this one. Was not easy. Congrats to all who passed.
definitely agree moving on to quants …
Passed as well! It looks like the pass rate of 59% is the lowest in the past 5 years…
I passed too…and did surprisingly well!
Passed, no email but pass/fail results online.
^Check spam folders/ promotions folder in gmail. That’s where mine ended up
I’ll tell you this much, I didn’t do as well as I did last time. That being said, a pass is a pass…PE appeared to be my biggest challenge…Congrats to those who passed and enjoy the gift of time this summer…Superlamp, give it a couple days and consider giving it another go… You’ve invested a lot of time already and I’m sure you’d crush second time around.
What did you guys use for studying for this? The Kaplan Qbank was an absolute joke. Hardly any questions and the ones that were there were just way too easy.
any one reckon I would have been better just buying the official CAIA text and using that, plus say the uppermark Qbank, which I have heard are much better
I passed too!!
I used both the Uppermark study guides and the Qbank. I also got the official CAIA text (I didn’t get it for L1), which I think was helpful in filling in some gaps in the Uppermark. Of course, this being the 1st time with the new curriculum, I would imagine that the materials will be better for the Sept 2017 test.
Superlamp, I did Kaplan and I wasn’t super thrilled either. I mentioned PE as a challenge and not all of that was on me. I found that I hadn’t seen a fair amount of the stuff tested under that category. I have to think that the official text would help. The official mock exam was very helpful for both levels, IMO. Also, we were all working off an abbreviated study schedule, given the late release of the materials.
Superlamp Uppermark qbank and their course notes are pretty good.
i feel like thoroughly understanding their lecture notes will guarantee pass. mind you that sometimes they might not deliver courses on time and their lecturer’s quality is terrible.
Kaplan was great first time around and I imagine they’ll be sharper on Level 2 with the second go around…
Congrats to everyone who passed level 2 and earned the charter. I hope to join you guys after I take L2.
I’ll see what I’ll do guess I’ll just have to have a hard think about it.
Also - well done to all of those who passed.
You’ll be in good shape!
I passed today (received email and pass shows on my account). I used Kaplan exclusively and found the materials to be very good. If there’s anyone here who is interested in buying the Kaplan course, I’m putting it on ebay for $100 today (search for “Kaplan Schweser Complete CAIA Level 2 Course”).
I hope I am not the only one on this thread that failed 
Either way, I will give it another shot in September, sure its only an exam and if I pass then I am sure it will all have been worth it.
Thank you all too for the advice above regarding the notes too. I think I will stick with Kaplan, given they got me through L1, plus I think the lecturer they have is actually quite good.
What I would be keen on hearing however, is what you guys did when studying? In particular, were you guys making your own notes as you went along… I reckon part of my problem was not trying hard enough to “understand” the material, if that makes sense. With hindsight, I could have done better in that respect. Anyway I’d be keen to hear.
Also, if anyone is in the same boat as myself and doing the exam again in September, lets get a Sept 2017 forum going. No doubt the rest of the guys here will be of hitting the beaches to celebrate (I’d set one up myself but I am new here and cant see how its done)
