Would be happy to do a write up but i haven’t written L2 yet and will do so in September later this year after CFA L2. I’m not looking forward to the written response component to be entirely truthful so we’ll see how we go in a few months.

GL everyone :slight_smile:

Lastly, can someone please help me what is the best way to study for L1. I am currently using only CAIA official L1 book and making notes for the same. Thanks!

Was using Uppermark. I get the impression, having read other peoples reviews that Kaplan isn’t as good.

This is very helpful. Did you just buy the testbank for Uppermark? or what package did you go with?

Just the Uppermark testbank and no other paid study materials, otherwise i read the CAIA textbook.

For reference, here’s how i did https://imgur.com/a/MTZgdmg - not phenomenal, but decent enough.

Just beautifully written and many thanks for sharing. I’m a current CFA L2 Candidate for May 2021 and i was planning to give a shot at CAIA L1 March 2021 exam. Do you think Schweser’s Qbank and Notes are enough to crack the exam?

Thank you.

“Is Schweser notes enough to prepare for CAIA?” - i get this question a lot and i have absolutely no idea why. If you’ve read my guide(s) you’ll note i’ve never used Schweser for CAIA so i have absolutely no idea if it’s enough, though i know others have had success with Schweser - stop asking me this.

Finishing uppermark videos tomorrow. I understand some topics but others are ‘wtf’. Seen and been tested on maybe 40% of the content when taking the CIMA. Completely different tests, I know. But I’ll have around 4 weeks to do strictly questions/review until test day. Go for it or defer to September?

I would love the link to your notes again - I know it’s changed a bit but still…
