im bored at work… i’ll answer, but like they said, search function. a. most critical? the one that you didn’t study… serious. Everything is important, down to the paragraph that you just skimmed over because you thought wasn’t important. From my experience last year, Schweser was the reason why i failed. Their QBank was overly easily. I was too confident from doing QBank samples, and failed because i couldn’t catch up in time. Do the item sets instead of the level 1 style questions. b. can’t comment on this, its different for everyone. c. I don’t think a pro is necessary. I used my calculator less then in level 1, and i don’t remember anything that required the pro (note: i have the pro anyways) d. The more time the better. Don’t burn out, etc. The more time you have, the more you need to review what you read 9 months ago. Most people say that no matter how much you study, a bit of the test is luck, because any item set is so detailed in material that you have to be lucky to make sure you know that section well enough. e. Isn’t this the same question as a.) ? You’ll need to know everything. You’ll need to know everything inside and out. For example just say equity had 1 item set. only 5% of the test… but you don’t want to give up 6 question for no reason because you didn’t go over one reading. So don’t go easy on anything, know everything.

Unless you have some guy doing analysis on the positive support they get from fellow posters based on the number of times they failed, nothing is new. So i see nothing wrong with at least keeping some sort of convo going while this place is dead and boring. It’s not like L2 forums is being overly saturated with stuff atm anyways.
To the original poster…you passed level I so why not just do what was working for you there? I mean, I wouldnt see any reason to change what works. Right?
i guess ur right damil4real…i am just confused abt the way i should not only go for level 2…but for life…i mean i am flippin out…to take level 2 in june 2010 den work cause maybe after passing level 2 i ll a job in research or should i find some back office job nw cause other jobs relevant to cfa are invisible these times…so to sit and study for level 2…den work …den do an mba cause dats an important and the last step in ur career…man i need to sleep… ! god help!!!
