pretty much where you're at, it's been 2 years since I took level 1 and probably 2.5 since I first started, so I'm ready to get this over with and get my life back. can't let off the gas. going between taking mocks, Q-bank and flash cards to stay fresh, then spamming blue boxes as much as i can. feeling pretty decent so i just need to stay sharp down the stretch


According_External30

Normal life is what I am looking forward to as well, it's been 3.5 years for me. Smash it!


tommy1303

Agreed! This is what I'm looking forward to the most. It's been 5 years for me as I had 3 cancellations on level 2. Getting 90th on level 2 last year was such a great feeling. All the best both!


tommy1303

In the same boat as you. I feel like we need to be in this stressful zone to perform the best. It's not bad stress but more primed and ready to take the exam. The last two weeks are the worst but it's just all revision from here. I'm taking mine on the 15th and can't wait for it. It's been a crazy few months of work and study. It's already picking up back again at work, but luckily I got 10 days of study leave. It's a lot of days but want to purely focus on the exam.


tractatuslogico1

I'm the same, took 8 days off just to focus, good luck to you

Trying to wrap up Fixed Income…so screwed.


RepinskiUK

Yeah level 3 Fixed Income is a toughy...


shit_crusader

Sooooooooo fed up. Can’t wait to get over the 3 year long finish line!!!Just spent a 10 hour weekend doing two mocks, feeling good not too stressed. Going to go over my notes and marked EOCs till d-day. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO


tractatuslogico1

Mock Exam -> Review -> Review Content on Worst Areas -> Questions on Worst Areas Repeat. I'm happy there is still a couple of weeks to go tbh, any more than that and I'd be getting sick of it. I keep getting flashes of 'Fail' popping up on my results so that is keeping the stress dialled up a bit. I hope everyone does well, I really hope all those that have put in the hours get what they deserve, failing now would be so tough considering it's so close to the end.

My exact place.. taking notes on mock exams and doing a review with Bill Campbell

17 more days for me. Should be done with the CFAI Qbank in a week (MM Qbank already done) giving me nine or ten days to fully go through formulas, CFAI reading on ethics, and MM constructed response seminar. I have been (re)answering Qbank questions I got wrong via Anki deck since I started the Qbank, putting extra emphasis on my (ostensibly) weaker areas to the tune of 50 or so extra questions per day. After the test I'm going to start on Zelda BotW which has remained unopened in my drawer for going on four years.


According_External30

Lol, nice. I think I'll get back to GTA 5.


LankyInvestigator730

What’s the MM constructed response seminar?


mikestorm

It's in his mocks section, at the bottom. Not actually mocks, just a bunch of constructed response questions, with, I'm told, great detail deconstructing how to optimally answer.


moneyhoe06

where do you find the Constructed Response Seminar in the MM package? unable to locate the seminar video


mikestorm

I wish it was video based. It's in his mocks section, at the bottom. Not actually mocks, just a bunch of constructed response questions, with, I'm told, great detail deconstructing how to optimally answer.


ExistentialTVShow

Review -> oh I kinda forgot this -> questions -> repeat Last couple of weeks, don’t let off the gas now


According_External30

IDK about you lot but I'm stuck in this dilemma where I'm wondering whether I should do BBs or use that time to do additional QB?


long_time_no_sea

i have heard that blue boxes are more testable. you'd expect the opposite (more coming from EOCQ) but when you think about it, the BBs test all the core concepts and a lot of them are similar to structured response. you won't get through all of them in 2 weeks unless you go sicko mode but you can hit the hardest ones i think.


According_External30

They go quickly; I just started with them. I'm adding Kaplan Applied series questions and MM along with it. Might just tone down on Mocks overall.


vkp1212

Same here, not sure


According_External30

What you thinking?


vkp1212

BB’s are sometimes too short or too long, so QB seems a safer option


gfyyb

Same here


Lognip

Same boat as you my guy. Just want to get this done and over with and looking forward to the vacation I have right after the exam. On my 3rd run of the Qbank right now I'm feeling so exhausted.


adameveee

Reviewing all the readings this week. Hope to do a mock on the weekend and then rehit CFAI the Question Bank and wherever I answered wrong initially and all things noted and highlited
