Thank you, for all your hard work in making these videos. They were super helpful in preparation for the CFA Level 1 exam. A detailed explanation of each topic has definitely contributed to me passing the exam in December 2018. Thank you!
I have from March to June to study for level 1. I can dedicate all day and night for the preparations. I hope it'll be enough. Thanks for outlining the sequence. I'll prepare my study plan based on this. CFA is gonna be the only thing on my mind!
Hello from Puerto Rico, hopefully will take it on June, kind of scared since i took econ on 2009 dont remember too much, im a cpa but my background in finance is limited!
For someone who has not had the chance to break into the industry to begin accruing the experience needed would it be wise to wait to begin the CFA journey until an entry-level job given that it is tough to break into the industry? (I have taken CFA level 1 and failed before because of inadequate time allocation)
can someone apply the reading structure for december 2018 exams, i could not come across any similar video this as a guidance for december 2018 exam. What methodological approach to reading is the best to follow
If its your last year of high school, you are at least 3 years away from qualifying to write the first exam. Perhaps begin by visiting cfainstitute.org
So I just finished QM and I am going to FRA next. After FRA do I move to fixed income or equity? If I jump to equity after FRA.. when do i jump to Fixed income and derivatives. after what section? Thanks
Hi all, for those with knowledge, I'm studying for august 2021 level 1 exam. if I study schweser notes, would it suffice or will I be able to pass? I personally prefer schweser notes over cfa boooks, is there something wrong with that?
I am biased of course, but the exams at all three levels are based on the content in the CFAI books, no others. That is why all my videos follow vet closely with the CFAI readings, LOS by LOS.
Hi Mark! There are 2 weeks left before the review month for Dec CFA Level 1 starts. I still have Economics and Ethics left. Which topic would you recommend I complete first? (Econ seems long but simple while Ethics seems short but difficult?) Thanks so much for your help!
There have been some changes from 2017, such as FRA standards and trade settlements for example. The CFA exam is a serious thing that costs quite a bit of money to take. Perhaps it is prudent to use the latest versions?
Actually yes because this is the recommended sequence for curriculum , it doesn't matter what year's the recommended sequence is: Quant Fixed income derivatives alternative inv financial statements analysis equity portfolio mng corporate issuers Economic ethics
Hey I was wondering if you can post an update for this for 2024 if at all possible

Mark I will be sticking with you through all three levels and anticipate purchasing packages for level 2 and 3 from your website. Thank you

Should you finish whichever side of the flow chart that you choose after quant before switching to the other side?

Thank you sir👍
@Mark Meldrum, does the sequence apply to Nov 23?
Does going to a CFA affiliated school help in your opinion?
Hey Mark . How about if I stated with FRA before quants .
I have a bachelor in finance
Hi Mark,
I've been watching some of your videos, but I was wondering if you refer to the CFAI book or the Schweser book... notes? Thanks in advance
CFAI.
Hi Mark, thank you for your work! Is this sequence still valid for Level I 2024 exams?
Sir i just wanted to know market org and structure and dividends and share repurchases has been removed from corporate finance. Thanks in advance
For Share Repurchases, removed from l1 and moved up to Level 2. For Market Structure, still there - first reading in equity.
Can someone with an engineering background pass CFA level 1 with only self-studying the material???
Hi, how many topics would you recommend to cover each month as a benchmark?
Where would the new addition of FinTech fit in to this sequence?
FinTech is in PM. Not a long reading - about 20 pages - and not a lot of detail.
Hi mark, is this video applicable for 2021 computer based exams?
can someone apply the reading structure for december 2018 exams, i could not come across any similar video this as a guidance for december 2018 exam. What methodological approach to reading is the best to follow
This applies: th-cam.com/video/kkDWn5p12MM/w-d-xo.html

Yes
Hi mark, this is my last year of high school, I wanna to know more about CFA (I mean like packages & etc). Can you make a video on that?
If its your last year of high school, you are at least 3 years away from qualifying to write the first exam. Perhaps begin by visiting cfainstitute.org

Thanks
It does not matter - that is up to you.
Mark Meldrum What do you recommend?
Fixed Income. Equity is easy.
Hey Mark thank you for the videos, do you have any similar videos for the Level 2 exam? I found this strategy very helpful for level 1.

Hi Mark what if I am sitting for December 2019 exam and I use the 2018 notes is that okay?
Very good!
What is FRA?

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Mark, is this sequence still applicable for 2021 CBT exams?
Yes
Hi guys, in the study guide, what does 'pp' and 'pg' mean please? For instance 'Vol 1, pp 314-316'
page
@@MarkMeldrum thank you Mark, but the book has only 270 pages. So what do you think it refers to?
Hey, do the books have to be the latter or I can study with the 2016, 2017 ? Tanks
There have been some changes from 2017, such as FRA standards and trade settlements for example. The CFA exam is a serious thing that costs quite a bit of money to take. Perhaps it is prudent to use the latest versions?
@@MarkMeldrum I was thinking of the 2018s?
@@MarkMeldrum Which book series do you recommend? Thanks for your amazing content!
Hi Mark, is this sequence still applicable for 2021 CFA exams?
yes
Mark, I am an Associate Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA, UK)

Is this still relevant for 2024?
Hi Mark this would be applicable for June 2020 lv 1 as well?

financial statements analysis
equity
portfolio mng
corporate issuers

Can you update this video Mark thanks
The sequence would not change. While the content in each section may change, the logic of the sequence would not.
@@MarkMeldrum ah I see was just curious if you still recommended this.
Seems like a lot of people loss motivation starting with quant 😅
I love you. Hehehehe.
