  • Hi all, in this video I would like to share my experience with the CFA Level II exam which I passed in February 2022. I talk about how I found the difficulty of the exam compared to the CFA Level I exam, resources I used to prepare and some tips on resolving pre-exam anxiety. Hope you find this useful!
    Book and resources I mention:
    KS Materials: www.schweser.com/cfa/level-2/...
    KS Secret Sauce: www.schweser.com/cfa/level-2/...
    Wiley's Level II CFA Program 11th Hour Final Review Study Guide: www.amazon.nl/Wileys-Level-Pr...

    Definitely a good video. Just took my L1 in August and trying to mentally prepare for what L2 looks like. Admittedly it is very nice to have some time before results are released to let the mind relax. Wiley 11th hour I’m going to look into as a supplement. I’ve used Kaplan Schweser and find their material top notch

    Congratulations !! I wrote level 3 in May . The time constraint gets harder at level 3 in the essay portion especially. I concur on everything you mentioned. Especially the 300 hours theory...for level 2 and 3 you need much more time to be prepared

    Congratulations!! I also work in finance and found your tips really valuable. Im taking Level 2 in August, how would you recommend I spend the last week before the exam? (e.g. days memorizing formulas, doing practice, questions, etc)

    • @marievandergraaf
      @marievandergraaf  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! During my last 7-10 days before the exam I usually do the following:
      1. Memorize formulas
      2. Repeat key concepts from summary materials (e.g., KS Secret Sauce, I re -read it once or twice)
      3. Solve 15-20 exercises for each topic. In the KS study environment I can bookmark some Qs, I usually bookmark more complicated problems or the ones which are typical for this section to keep the sequence of steps fresh in my memory
      4. 1-2 days before the exam I also go through the QuickSheet to make sure all concepts mentioned are sharp in my memory
      Hope it helps:) Good luck!

    Thanks for the insight Marie. I too passed Level 1 in May 2021 but decided to sit for my Level 2 in August this year. Like you said, I'm less stressed than last time but not sure what to expect. Level 2 is significantly harder and longer than Level 1. Wish me luck

    Has obtaining the cfa first two levels been seen as a necessity in acquiring a job in asset management or prior internships contributed more to it?

    • @marievandergraaf
      @marievandergraaf  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I started with the CFA Program only after I got my job. In my view, having good relevant experience for junior people is more important than obtaining first levels of CFA

    • @marievandergraaf
      @marievandergraaf  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I would suggest you think about what value having the CFA charter would bring you. If you work in investment management, than it can improve your chances of finding a new job (at least in Europe). Or if you want to enter into the investment management, having these exams could help. But if you are not in finance and it's not a hard requirement for your industry, then maybe there are other good certifications?
