Passed Level 2 comfortably (~80th percentile)! The test itself I thought was a fair challenge with the PM session being waaaay harder than the AM. I had felt that my confidence interval was at a pass so it was awesome to get some confirmation with the new results system. I could barely sleep last night leading up to the results. I started studying January 3rd and primarily used Kaplan resources. I did the class as it singlehandedly saved my life last year but this year it was not as helpful, eventually skipping a couple classes to do practice problems. The Kaplan resources had me extremely prepared for the test I would say and I used CFA questions for important concepts like FRA, FI, and Equity but I stayed away from the Topic Tests as they were some of the dumbest questions I ever used and were more frustrating than helpful. I really did value the level 2 concepts this year and I do not ever think I have studied this much so it was a great personal journey as well.
