Wait to take CFA Level 2 given changes?
Given the recently announced changes to the CFA curriculum, do you think it makes sense to postpone sitting for Level 2 until next year? Was planning on sitting for it this summer (haven’t formally registered yet) but given the changes might my passing chances be higher if I wait for the updated...
CFA® needed for HF?
I am an undergrad at a lower Ivy. The pool of competition over the years has gotten fiercer and the opportunities for HF have gotten smaller. With the pool getting that much bigger, how much would a CFA® stand out for HF?
Important Information About Your CFA® Exam Results - Calculating the MPS
Well monkeys, it sure was fun not worrying about the CFA® exam for a couple weeks. But, I'm sure that like me, you all got that special email last night telling everyone to restart their freak out until July 23rd. Thanks, CFA® Institute, that's just what my summer needs. I remember last year,...
CFA® L2 Best Prep Programs
Most quality posts on CFA® prep are a few years old and just repeatedly point to Kaplan/Schweser. Are there any other resources that are equivalent or better in 2020? Barely passed L1 with the BBG program and looking for an upgrade!
CFA® Level 2 June 2020, Wiley or Schweser?
Hi Guys, Prepping to take CFA® level 2 in June, heard good things about the Schweser books and good things about the Wiley online course. Could potentially buy Schweser books (anyone with comments on how it is for level 2? It worked well for me in level 1) and or the Wiley Course (anyone have...

Fresh university graduate, with CFA® level 2
Hi all, I am a fresh graduate from Toronto Canada with a Bcom degree, since I was born in the states, Trump will have nothing on me with the work permit issue. I do not have an impressive GPA (3.2), I am hoping that CFA® level 2 can leverage my mediocre grades, which I am expecting to pass this...
How to fail the CFA® level 2 Exam
Ahhh January, the wonderful month that you are. A month filled with ambitious New Year’s resolutions and regret about consumption habits throughout December. It is also the month when the worrying realisation that you have probably exchanged your 89th and 90th years for guaranteed fun now, and the...

Level II for Corporate Development / Corporate Strategy
Is passing the Level II of the CFA® useful for getting a position in corporate development or internal strategy?

CFA® level 2 - Ethics
How do you guys study for the ethics section on the CFA® level 2 exam? I feel like there are so many details they can test you on, such as when is an approval required, does the approval need to be in writing or not etc. Does anyone have a good summary of these details, i.e. mainly a summary of...

Should I sign up for CFA® Level 2 with only 4 months left before D-Day?
I took Level 2 last June and failed miserably....band was below 5. I didn't read much during studying instead I stuck with watching videos and peppering that with some questions. Given that I only have 4 months to prep, should I take the exam again? Someone at work told me that failing Level 2 is...
CFA® Level 2 Pass Rate
I just passed Level 2, and this is a post to debunk the rumor that 70% is necessary for this exam. I never got above 70 on a full practice exam (of the 8 I took, most were in the high 50's or low 60's), and I had a hard time believing the people on forums who were talking about their 75% on the...

CFA® Musings Before the Exam
I am four days away from sitting for the Level 2 CFA® exam for the third time. Am I prepared? I have no way of knowing. All I can say is that I'm better prepared than I was last year.
