Hello All,
i am registered for CFA level June 2017 exam. i started preping mid jan and was doing well on track but for last 2 weeks haven’t been able to study at all because of long – very long hours at office … I am done with Quants and started with Econ today. Do you guys think i am lagging behind? if yes but how much, as in how much should i have been done with by now ?
Just want to get some idea so that i can plan next few weeks and if required take day off from work to cover the gap.
Wishing all June candidate a very good luck …
Thanks,
Mona
Mona, you have enough time to prepare for the June exam, but you need to better prioritize what readings to give your all based on their relative weights on the exam. It’s good that you eventually cover econ, for example, but maybe you’d get more out of your time working on FRA, ethics, equity and fixed income. Unless you have a good background in accounting, I’d really suggest you postpone finishing econ and start on FRA immediately. My two cents, best of luck.
I started in November and I’m halfway through economics. I suggest you to speed up, concentrate on the heavy weighted areas and and keep ample time for revision, 3-4 weeks at the minimum.
Start with HEAVY WEIGHT Items (FRA, EQUITY, FIXED INCOME & Corporate Finance). Derivatives can take long time to understand so please keep that in mind. Don’t ignore ETHICS but study ETHICS in APRIL / MAY.
