Hello, I was trying to find topic wise weightage for level-2. Based on the results posted on this forum, I have found following weightages: Topic Questions Weightage Financial Statement Analysis 108 30% Equity Analysis 72 20% Derivatives 36 10% Ethical & Professional Stnds. 36 10% Fixed Income Analysis 36 10% General Portfolio Management 36 10% Economics 18 5% Quantitative Analysis 18 5% 360 100% I could not find corporate finance in this. Can anyone help me with the weightage of corporate finance and with which topic is it included in result? Thanks in advance, Harish Awasthi
Did you really pass L1? Like in L1, Corp Fin is a part of FSA. I would say FSA is 20% and Corp Fin is 10% (as we have 2 study sessions devoted on Corp Fin).
Harish, you from IIT-K??? (OMG!!). This question doesn’t suit ya profile man!
actually aharish_iitk is correct. CFAI realized that they’ve made a huge mistake by including too many LOS in Level II and decided that this year CF is not going to be tested.
Of all the LOSs to throw out, they get rid of corporate finance? Why not something like pension accounting or derivatives. Who needs those anyway.
those are out too … there is only Ethics left
Hi, I am following the Schweser study notes. Could you please tell me which sections/subsections of corporate finance (other areas) are omitted for the exam?

Forget about studying MM propostion, Some part of Corp Govern and whole section of Mergers. You will be OK in test.
Yes, I am studying schweser 2008. does ur recommendation still hold and where can i find a formal announcement of this syllabus change?
Sorry, link has been moved.
that link aint working is this legit, or bs?
Im not sure what bs means but the link http://www.cfainstitute.com/cfaprog/test/changes/index.html isnt working. Would appreciate it if someone posted the exact changes in the test syllabus or even better the present link to it.
Use your own prudent judgment as to what will be on the exam. If that doesn’t work, go to http://www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/courseofstudy/topicareaweights.html and figure it out. If that doesn’t work, just study ethics and you should be fine.
There will be no Ethics in the PM section of the exam and there was a last minute change to bring back GIPS for the PM section. So what are the 7 sections for the GIPS, again?
just came back from the Schweser 3 day seminar in DC…they said that SS8/9 combined would be 1 item set (their prediction was on M&A). The logic behind this is that SS 8 has a lot of material that was moved from Level 1 (so they are not likely to retest that for us).
this is hilarious!
Also they are moving Time Series back to Level III and Jeff just called me and confirmed not to worry about it. Ready for next year for L3 though.
