I’d love to get a study group going. I like to have friends to keep me on track and accountable. Plus it’s way more fun when you aren’t going at it alone! I planned on starting to make my first pass through the material beginning in September.
I’m in Minneapolis so meeting in person would be awesome, but an online group also works great. I’ve done both in the past.
Studying for the level 2 exam, June 2015; primarily focusing on the CFAI curriculum and supplementing it with a mix of Elan and Schweser.
I used both Elan and Schweser for level 1- my experience was as follows: I liked the video lectures and the 11th hour guide from Elan. I liked the practice exams and study notes from Schweser. For extra practice questions it was a toss-up, although I thought Elan’s were a bit more challenging. I plan on following a similar route for level 2.
For the study group I’m really looking for more of a discussion-based, teach and learn from each other approach, rather than just going through practice problems.
I’m interested in forming an online study group starting ASAP as well. I’ve taken level 2 several times and I know the pitfalls very well. I formed a really good study group for this locally last year before I was forced to quit myself due to financial circumstances. My methods are similar to yours but with some differences. Please let me know if you’re interested in studying together online and if so, getting started soon. I can be reached at cwilcox333@gmail.com.
Would be interested in an online group. I am located in Denver, I’m planning on getting started in a couple weeks. Very interested. Private message me if you are both trying to form a group still!
Hi all, i am also intersted in joining the online group. This would be my frirst time but think it would be a good avenue to share knowledge together, while having each others back. I intend to use the CFAI texts and schweser notes plus practice exams. Looking to start by next week. Would appreciate if you let me know when this begins.
