Thanks Haaris! Your point about the wrong approach to Qs really hit home for me. I just started Quant - Level 1 and was getting stuck in the EOC Qs and feeling demoralized. I’ll be using your promo code at IFT.
Thank you for the Video!! Great information and I highly appreaciate that you took emphasis on physical activity as well as a healthy lifestyle. This determines the learning process on a very high and from many people underrating degree
Thanks for the video Haaris! I've just started working on Level 2 for May 2025 session. Definitely needed a study plan and a prep provider, I'll buy IFT full package with your coupon off. Hope I'll pass :)
Hey! This video was super helpful and informative! And I am definitely going to subscribe and explore your channel! I am in in my last year of undergraduate studies (finishing April 2025) and I plan pursuing the CFA charter. I was debating sitting for the Level I exam either in May 2025 or Nov 2025. My biggest concern for sitting in May 2025 exam is that from Jan until Apr, I will also be completing my bachelors degree, hence I will be completing my bachelors degree and my Level I concurrently. Do you think it is wise for me to wait until the Nov 2025 seating? I must note that I am interested to complete the tests as quickly as possible (without the study burnout that you have mentioned in this video). Any insights are greatly appreciated, thanks!
Glad to hear it! No correct answer, but I think it's better to wait until Nov-25. Better to focus on bachelors, get that done, then move onto CFA. Don't want to risk success in both, just my view. Good luck!
I have started with ethics and corporate issuers For may 2025 attempt for CFA level 1 And have started with 3 hrs a day . Using kaplan for reading and mark meldrum for videos.
Hi Haaris, love your channel man! Just wanted to ask about the Ethics chapter for CFA level 1. I read online on Reddit forum that the Kaplan materials is pointless for ethics and you should only read the CFA institute curriculum for ethics. However the CFA institute material for ethics is very long and time consuming. Just wanted to know the best way to study the ethics chapter as it has the biggest weighting. Is Kaplan material sufficient for the ethics section part?
love your videos Haaris, my cfa l1 exam window is on feb 2025 and I've completed fixed income couple of weeks back. can u suggest a good strategy, like watching review videos or how many questions to solve and how many readings should i cover in a day. My initial plan is to review on weeekends and do fsa on weekdays. Plz give me your suggestions
It's hard to answer this, but generally get through all the content first. Review videos are fine to keep the content fresh, and start the EOC Qs after you've covered all the curriculum once. Then increase to 2-5 reviews a day (depending on the length / complexity of material), and in the last month you should be doing mainly questions (and reference your notes if you struggle) - good luck
let’s say i fail the test for august 2024, does it mean i can retake it on february (6month after). or does it mean i have to wait till february to enroll again?
