So here I was, a week ago, under the assumption (for some reason) that the exam window for L2 was in October. Wednesday a week ago I decided I might as well pick my exam date… You can imagine my horror when I realized that Sep 21st was the last day. Especially as I had planned to kick off my studing this week. Crikey - better open those Schweser books that I got back in August…
I spent the entire weekend studying in a hotel room, and then as much as possible Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Finished studying this morning at 7:30 and took the test.
I though Part I was brutal. For me, Part II was generally easy, in part because of my work experience (and I have already passed the CFA Institute exams). I barely completed Part 1 on time, but got Part II done in an hour - although I spent the next hour reading and polishing my answers. (Incidentally, when I took Level 1 last time I found the same thing - that the essay section was the easiest. I know others had the opposite view to me).
Good luck to all who have taken it this time, and who are taking it tomorrow!
