not able to study like L1 :( Body and mind is tired

@symbian

Yeah, see as I said it’s complicated.

We started this off as a family business and then hired more people as the company grew. So, we (our family) still holds a majority stake in the company, and therefore, I sort of get some leeway when it comes to extra work.

It’s not a very large business. We are a private company which retails high end furniture through a couple of stores.

In India, specially in the smaller towns, this kind of structure is very common. There aren’t a lot of MNCs for which a lot of people work for, but rather a large number of small players which employ a smaller workforce and carry out their business.

now it makes sense. You left out the key fact your family are the owners from before. pretty critical info

@Alisha

Dw ur not alone… I hardly remember any of the readings I’ve completed. I think we’re all burnt out since we jumped right into level 2 prep after completing level 1 in dec. infact I feel so guilty that I’ve tightened my schedule so that I finish my readings sooner to give me more time for practice!

Hang in there!

Hi Alisha,

What is your strategy? Did you read everything and then go back to do BB and EOC?

@KevPei

I have been stuck on reading 19 intercorporate investments since last wednesday. Everytime I open the book and read 2 paragraphs on stupid sh!t like IFRS and GAAP treatment of goodwill, I get pissed off and slam the book shut. No idea on how I’m gonna pass the FRA section.

Hi Kev,

I had trouble with that reading too. There seemed to be so much information and so many stupid deails – I couldn’t keep anything straight. I flipped to the back of the chapter and read the summary. The summary is easier to absorb.

I think all you need is a break, meanwhile you will get re-motivated again. If i remember correctly, didnt you start studying right after level 1 exams in dec?

I haven’t finished my readings yet but should be done soon (hopefully). Thing is I started doing EOCs and it was taking too much time coz I’d get frustrated with the questions and start losing interest. I do the BBs while I’m reading through schweser… As mentioned I’ve decided to hurry up with the readings to give myself time to practice.

Good luck!

GUys

i am trying from january but i am not able to study hard like i did for L1.

My mind and body is tired and gives up in 2-3 hrs in a day.

Please tell what to do as at this rate i wont crack L2

Quite worried. Please advice .

I am in the exact same situation so I can understand. After giving the L1, I started working which completely took away my desire to study. The same course which I found so damn interesting in L1, I’m having trouble in keeping my eyes open in front of my L2 books.

In fact, I try to keep away from AF these days because I am seriously way behind you guys. Some of the people are already in their second pass.

This is what I’ve been doing and I think some of it might just be of a little help to you as well -

1. Stop thinking about the exam all the time. This will only make you stressed and suck out your desire to study.

2. Treat yourself. Get a spa treatment, go out and have a drink, don’t stay at home and be miserable. It is very important to have a small social life.

3. Keep your study room only for study purposes. Only watch an occassional episode of your favourite TV show, eat lunch/ dinner or anything else other than studies for that matter.

4. Make sure you exercise a little bit everyday. I play a couple of hours of golf everyday, which is not tiring but very refreshing. Going to the gym for sometime is a great stress buster too.

5. Make realistic goals. If you make huge goals for the day, you are only going to get overwhelmed and you might just end up doing nothing. Have goals which will make your mind think that it’s attainable.

6. Have a weekly strech goal. One that is not necessary but great if you can achieve it. If you manage to do so, do something like what I said in #2.

they have spas and golf in india?

Yeah we do. 13% nominal GDP growth you know. Not receding like the French economy.

nominal = real + inflation. I think inflation accounts for 12% in that equation. Your call center economy will not last long.

when I look at my friends who visited India facebook all I see is pictures of people begging, large crowds and traffic, children shitting on the roads, muslims hanging up animals upside down, dirty streets. was slumdog millionaire a good sample of your country?

I really like few of your comments in af. Ya we have everything in my country i.e., from best to worst. Everything in the offering. See a big picture of a country not just a movie. No hard feeling.

You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn’t it? Smile for me now, brother. [stabs Alladin]

jai ho.

does anyone feel that the studying gets slower as you are trying to do equity?

[CFA_shareholder]

yes… jeez I JUST finished euity and I am farther behind then probably everyone on this forum @_@

I think I will do what Alisha says and just get through the readings ASAP and start practicing sooner… I wish I took a break of some sort, but I guess it is too late to say that now!

Good Luck everyone!

[kuljeet]

In terms of volume it took sometime but not due to level of difficulty.

Years later, Aladdin is led to a room full of screens one day. At the far end of the room, a chair turns around and there sits the real iteracom, the architect. Iteracom further explains the truth to Aladdin that he is but the 8th version of what has transpired, and he is just playing the role destiny has assigned, and there’s nothing he can do to stop it.

And then Alladin turned off the TV and he saw that it was good.

If you have enough money to survive a year or two of unemployment, you could consider going full force on L2 and using it to find a better job… especially if the chances that you’ll be fired is quite high even if you give it your all.

Just a second opinion…
